Dear comrade,
The nuclear deal between the 5+1 imperialist powers and the Iranian regime, signed in July 2015, was approved by the United States Congress in September and President Obama has now begun the process of lifting sanctions. During the past week we have also seen the Iranian regime’s ‘parliament’ and the Guardian Council – which sits above it – endorse this agreement.
Since the ‘cold war’ between imperialism and the regime is ending – with trade delegations from many European countries heading to Iran since July – the authorities in Iran have been taking steps to prepare for a relative reduction in the general level of repression. Opening up Iranian society is a necessary condition for improving the economic situation, including a positive effect on growth.
