The percentage of people polled in the do not know enough to formulate an opinion category goes up six percentage points to 46% from 40%, the opposed declines by six percentage points to 17% from 23%, and those in favor stays steady at 36%, showing a slight shift between the polls in April and July 2015. Because of the intricacies of a deal and other behavioural factors the uncertain caegory dominates. Intricacies involve the details about nuclear technology and sites in Iran. The element of distrust involves inspection of military sites, and Iranian promises not kept in the past. Behavioural factors include the large number of young people in Iran born after the revolution, a possible shift to moderation in policies as Iran opens up to the world, and the risks of Iran going back to isolation and hardliners if the talks failed. About 70% of the population in Iran of 74 million is under 35 years of age, meaning that almost all know little about the period before the revolution in 1979, and are the group most open to the outside world. Failure to close a deal also increased the risk that the Saudis would strive to develop nuclear weapons technology increasing proliferation. Pressure on Iran, including from Israel and the U.S. Congress, serves to get the best possible deal. A deal has economic repercussion for oil prices, as it means the flow of Iranian oil to markets, competing with the Saudis and shale oil producers in the U.S., and providing a boost to the economies of the U.S., Europe, China and India, at a time of sluggish growth in the global economy in 2015. Germany which lost a growing business in Russia with the sanctions gains a new market in Iran. and containing its nuclear program.

With Saudi Arabia's effort to lower oil prices causing more damage to the Iranian economy and difficult negotiations with Iran continuing on preventing the development of nuclear weapnons, president Obama seeks more time for negotiations. Israeli prime minister Netanyahu is pushing for more sanctions on Iran, which could derail the negotiations. Netanyahu accepted an invitation from Republican Speaker Boehner to address Congress in 2015, creating a divide between Congress and the U.S. president on policy towards Iran.

With enough Democrats favoring a Congressional review of the nuclear deal with Iran to get the 67 votes to overide a presidential veto, a bipartisan compromise accepted by the White House provides for a 30 day review if the deal is submitted by July 9, 2015. The bill is the work of Senators Cardin and Corker in the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee.

The different statements put out by the Iranian foreign minister and by John Kerry were intended to give each side the opportunity to sell what it had agreed to at home- the Iranian negotiators to hardliners in the Iranian government, and the U.S. to Congress and Israel. On a key issue for the Iranians for example the words are for sanctions to be lifted "immediately," and the Fordo complex conversion into a science and technology research center can be put off if America does not lift sanctions. The American statement talks about sanctions lifting as a step by step process. These differences could lead to tough negotiations ahead.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
