Iranian President Rouhani Takes Step Back from Nuclear Arms

Hmm if Iran actually backs away from nuclear weapons then you can go ahead and give this guy the Nobel Peace Prize.

In an interview with NBC News days before he travels to New York for a U.N. appearance, the new Iranian president also insisted that he has "complete authority" to negotiate a nuclear deal with the United States and other Western powers.

"We have time and again said that under no circumstances would we seek any weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, nor will we ever," Rouhani said when asked whether he would forswear nuclear arms.

If they move away from the Bomb I can see the US lifting sanctions and Iran moving into the economic pole position. All they need is oil majors (I'm sure China would knock people down to be first in line) to build state-of-the-art refineries and the Mullahs can retire as billionaires and buy soccer teams and such. Also if Obama can get a verifiability nuclear weapon free Iran he can add quite a feather to his cap regarding his legacy.
