EconoMonitor : EconoMonitor » The Big Iran Deal:

"The Iran deal is a good deal for the U.S., Europe and for Iran. It suggests a shake up of the Middle East and a plausible belief in the likelihood of a major deal in six months.

The deal with Iran happened on Iranian President Rouhani’s 99th day in office. Obviously taken with the idea of measuring a U.S. President by his first 100 days in office, Rouhani stated, “I’m happy that before my first 100 days finished we had this victory.” Rouhani’s comfort with that piece of American political jargon may be the best indicator yet of the likelihood that a final deal will be cut in six months. It indicates a certain affinity between Iran and the U.S. and the extent of the culture compatibilities of the two countries. It also is a clue to what Israel and the Gulf States along with Saudi Arabia fear the most – that the U.S. and Iran will end up as friends – even allies. (Not, by any means, an illogical fantasy.)"
