A Nuclear Deal Won’t Bridge the Divide Between Iran and the U.S.

After years of wrangling, a nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers would not dramatically change Iran’s relationship with the United States–but it would make substantial changes: A deal that lifts sanctions, even gradually, would boost Iran’s economy, and Tehran would gain access to its substantial assets currently frozen in foreign banks. Iranian oil exports, almost halved by sanctions, would rise again. Petrochemical and other stalled projects could be completed. Iranian banks and businesses would regain access to the international banking system. Foreign investment, particularly in Iran’s cash-starved energy industry, could flow in again.http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2015/03/31/a-nuclear-deal-wont-bridge-the-divide-between-iran-and-the-u-s/?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRonuazBc%2B%2FhmjTEU5z17e4tUaag38431UFwdcjKPmjr1YIFRMtjI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFSLHMMa12z7gLXxI%3D
