President Obama Signs Executive Order Lifting Economic Sanctions Against Iran

++Iran is now being integrated back into then world economy, The declaration that they are in compliance with the nuclear deal means their oil now can be traded on the world market. Germany's Airbus signed today a massive deal for the purchase of airplanes.

++The release of the Washington Post reporter and three others in exchange for 7 Iranians who violated the economic sanctions but whose sentences have nearly been completed brought howls from the GOP Presidential candidates who complained either that the Americans had been they'd held too long and unfairly or that no exchange should have taken place.

++The pledges to reverse the Iranian deal on their first day of office places the Republicans between a rock and a hard place. All it would do now is isolate the United States from its allies as Iran emerges as a possible mediator.

++Kudos to Secretary Kerry and President Obama.

++There still remain sanctions that only Congress can lift concerning terrorism and ballistic missiles.
