Iran-US secret backchannel talks suggest that for both sides pragmatism beats ideology

Glad to hear. There is only one major country in the ME not yet part of Bidens Middle East economic Corridor - Iran. But they exist only a short distance across the Strait of Hormuz from connecting to this corridor. If Biden has contact with pragmatic Iranians who might be interetsed here (ie Iran has one of the more educated populations that could see an economic revival if they could connect to the EU market).

Sure its a big dream but no worse than the Marshall Plan or Reconstruction in trying to remake the world after one of these economically disrupted periods.
