Iran Complies With Nuclear Deal; Sanctions Lifted (nytimes.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Iran has shipped most of its nuclear fuel out of the country, destroyed the innards of a plutonium-producing reactor and mothballed more than 12,000 centrifuges. This compliance with the nuclear accord struck in July has caused the U.S. and Europe to lift financial sanctions on Iran, releasing ~$100 billion in assets. "Under the new rules put in place, the United States will no longer sanction foreign individuals or firms for buying oil and gas from Iran. The American trade embargo remains in place, but the government will permit certain limited business activities with Iran, such as selling or purchasing Iranian food and carpets and American commercial aircraft and parts. It is an opening to Iran that represents a huge roll of the dice, one that will be debated long after Mr. Obama he has built his presidential library. It is unclear what will happen after the passing of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has protected and often fueled the hardliners — but permitted these talks to go ahead."

Iran didn't like the centrifuges with systemd and enrichd?

Common sense

Iran have seen the light - from the sun and realised it's much cheaper to use solar panels and renewables than to waste huge amounts of money on more expensive systems like nuclear power.

Solar panels are greedy and absorb up all the sun's power. When you don't allow the sun's rays to hit the earth and bounce back into space to refuel the sun, you're literally causing the sun to run out of energy faster.

I bet you drive a gas guzzling SUV too, shitlord.

It's part of an intelligence test to identify people that can't identify the critical element in a statement. You lose.
