THE ECONOMIST
Visits to Italy and France by the Iranian president, Hassan Rowhani, have proven to be both a publicity and political coup, with Mr Rowhani signing some €50bn (US$55bn) in deals focused on the hydrocarbons, metals, transport, and automotive sectors. The sheer scale of the deals emphasises Iran's return to the international fold, and will also no doubt garner significant amounts of positive publicity back in Iran ahead of crucial elections scheduled for February 26th.
