Peter Van Buren, Real Clear World/Tom Dispatch: The Balance of Power in the Middle East Just Changed
Don't sweat the details of the July nuclear accord between the United States and Iran. What matters is that the calculus of power in the Middle East just changed in significant ways.
Washington and Tehran announced their nuclear agreement on July 14th and yes, some of the details are still classified. Of course the Obama administration negotiated alongside China, Russia, Great Britain, France, and Germany, which means Iran and five other governments must approve the detailed 159-page "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action." The U.N., which also had to sign off on the deal, has already agreed to measures to end its sanctions against Iran.
WNU Editor: A lot of ifs and maybes in this analysis .... but he is right about the money and why everyone in the West and in Iran are happy that sanctions are now ending..
