Iran nuclear talks: What will Tehran do with an extra $100 billion?
(Worthy News)– Iran stands to reap a windfall gain of about 25 per cent of its entire economy if $100 billion of frozen assets are released under a nuclear deal, the Telegraph reported.
This sum is likely to be unlocked – in whole or in part – if America and Iran meet Tuesday’s deadline for a final agreement that would settle the confrontation over Tehran’s nuclear program.
“We have never been closer to a lasting outcome,” said Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Iranian foreign minister, who is holding daily meetings with John Kerry, the US secretary of state, in Vienna.
Given the likelihood of a nuclear deal in the coming days, Iran’s rivals are voicing their fears about what Tehran might do with an extra $100 billion. Privately, one official from a Gulf state asked a Western counterpart whether Iran’s ability to sponsor armed groups was about to be “turbo-charged”. –Source
