Iranian Presidential Election

Thanks to back-breaking sanctions imposed on Iran, the Iranian supreme leader and revolutionary guard commanders were forced to change the course and listen to the voice of Iranian people in the recent Presidential election. Obviously human rights were not the main concern when these sanctions were devises but they yield the desired result nevertheless. The change was very minimal since the people had very few choices and  it is also unclear how much Rouhani will be willing to take on the path of reform and how much Khamenei will let him do so. Iran is still and remains deeply in trouble. Until the time that Iran is part of the global economy and we see the signs of the likes of McDonald's and Starbucks or the office of the likes of Mircosoft and CNN in Tehran, it is hard to imagine how Iran can stands on its feet again.
