Here I've blogged pretty extensively about sanctions, the Iranian nuclear program, and potential weaponifying of same.
The U.N., Iranian and really U.S. And Russian (and Chinese) deal that was struck to increase inspections and ship out highly enriched uranium (which has happened) is one outcome that is potentially favorable. Everyone hopes they aren't getting away with something, and/or snuck some potentially weapons-grade material out of the country and/or into the wrong hands. But the top nuclear scientists I read about seem happy with the deal. That is probably another post, and analysis you can find elsewhere.
I found interesting some of the opinions in this linked article - of everyday Iranians themselves.
Optimism, pessimism, and pragmatism all displayed - but equally a keen and worn suspicion that their leaders are just not right, and hanging onto their positions with policies that have been at the people's detriment rang out to me.
Interesting takes. I wish the Iranian people - and the de-weaponifying of their nuclear industry - well.
For the time being, I'm taking down some sidebar posts on Iran. You can still use the search window on this site to find them using keywords like 'iran' and 'nuclear'.
