A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed on Thursday between Iran and the United States, setting the stage for a 60 day negotiation period.

The price of oil has fallen considerably as a result, and hopes of returning to some sort of normality is higher than ever in the past three months. Is that all there is to it? Ho-ho… No. The hard part is just about to begin—not just vis-a-vis Iran, but for the entire world.
