Iranians Celebrate Agreement Online and in the Streets

By

As my colleague from Iran’s capital, Tehran, Iranians greeted news of that could bring an end to international sanctions and isolation warily at first, and then somewhat more loudly.

Within hours of the deal’s being announced on Twitter by Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, journalists and bloggers were sharing glimpses of public and private joy, with video and images of honking car horns and dancing in the streets spreading online.

Found solutions. Ready to start drafting immediately.
