{UAH} Iran Deal Threatens to Upend a Delicate Balance of Power in the Middle East | Foreign Policy

BEIRUT — As negotiators in Lausanne, Switzerland, agreed on a tentative deal to constrain Iran's nuclear program and waive sanctions pending verification of the eventual terms of the agreement, countries across the Middle East have already begun to adapt to the new regional political landscape.

Leaders across the Arab world see the agreement through the prism of the Middle East's delicate balance of power and the many conflicts racking the region. 

It's not a crazy idea: In a sign of how the agreement could affect broader ties between Tehran and Washington, Iranian television, for the first time ever, aired live U.S. President Barack Obama's speech in the Rose Garden on Thursday, April 2. Depending on which side of the conflict the regional leaders stand on, they either hope or fear that Iran will be enriched by the lifting of economic sanctions and empowered by its integration as a respected member of the international order.
