HMMM: Iran Arrests Person Linked to Negotiations on Nuclear Deal.

The disclosure, reported in the state news media, appeared to be the latest sign of the Iranian leadership’s frustration over the agreement, which has failed so far to yield the significant economic benefits for the country that its advocates had promised. Iranian officials have blamed the United States for that problem.

Despite the relaxations of many sanctions under the accord, which took effect in January, Iran faces enormous obstacles in attracting new investments and moving its own money through the global financial system.

It isn’t as though Iran’s mullahs regime was known for its economic prowess even before the nuclear sanctions were imposed.
