What the Iran-Deal Debate Is Like in Iran
The agreement has divided Iranians into camps that could shape the future of the country.
The nuclear deal with Iran has
sparked a vigorous debate not only in the United States, but in Iran as
well. The discussion of the agreement among Iranians at times echoes the
American discussion, but is also much deeper and wider. Reports in
Iranian media, as well as our own correspondence and conversations with
dozens of Iranians, both in the country and in exile, reveal a public
dialogue that stretches beyond the details of the agreement to include
the very future of Iran. And it seems that everyone from the
supreme leader
to the Iranian American executive in Silicon Valley, from the taxi
driver in Isfahan to the dissident from Evin Prison, is engaged. The
coalitions for and against the deal tend to correlate closely with those
for and against internal political reform and normalized relations with
the West.
