Middle East Correspondent Azadeh Moaveni lives in Tehran and in this op-ed, talks about the Iranian perspective on the nuclear deal agreement:
“It is difficult to enumerate the endless ways – economic, cultural, academic – that sanctions have impacted the lives of ordinary Iranians. That is why, as they witness with such great anticipation the announcement of an agreement that will eventually bring sanctions to an end, it is hard to piece together their vision for what will change. The mood in Tehran is pure fizz, and the talk spans everything from cheaper iPhones to democracy.”
