>> iran's economic benefits, some of the sanctions that will be lifted or suspended they don't mind seeing the program limited but they mind being iran does better economically and i think that's what they're worried about. i think it's a correct statement saying then that iran is able to access economic markets or is able to access its own money in international banks iran's economy would be in a better shame nap part of the statement is i think accurate. >> kamal, what opportunities would exist in iran as western sanctions are lifted. >> there is a flip side to years of economic eye laition and that happens when you finally emerges from it. with its population of 80 million people waiting for foreign input businesses are understandably ready to engage
