Iran’s economy is showing signs of foundering just as the country prepares to inaugurate its first new president in eight years, with Western sanctions cutting ever deeper into the Islamic republic’s financial lifelines and increasing pressure for a nuclear deal with the West.
A welter of new data shows accelerated financial hemorrhaging across multiple sectors, from plummeting hard-currency reserves to steadily falling oil exports, Iran’s main source of foreign cash. U.S. officials and analysts say the tide of bad news will complicate the task awaiting Hassan Rouhani, the incoming president, but it could also increase Iran’s willingness to accept limits that would preclude it from developing nuclear weapons.Although many Iran experts think that the chances for a bargain remain small, recent warnings about the economy from within the regime suggest that the nation’s leaders may be looking for a way out, analysts say.
let's take a moment, this even if it doesn't go to fruition is a start and shows promise it appears that Pres.'s decision to do this as oppose to republicans bomb bomb bombing Iran, and so far no one has died.
now had Romney been elected or we fail to counter the republican skulduggery and they get in again, we would have and will probably enter into conflict with both Iran and Syria it's the republican way.
“The Iranian elite now publicly admits that the economy is in serious trouble, and this president was elected with a mandate to do something about that,” said Clifford Kupchan, a former State Department official and a Middle East consultant with the Eurasia Group. “Despite Iranian rhetoric, that can only make the prospect of a deal more attractive.”
first we need to gag order the republicans from stupid incendiary remarks, and keep the pressure up till they sit down easing a little and use the talks as a barometer on whether or not we need to continue. keeping the availability of using them again if it falters.
