Professor Ian Bremmer explains why a nuclear deal with Iran will benefit the United States

Bloomberg logo
Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "One of the reasons this is a good deal for the United States is because, within a year, certainly by the end of 2016, we will see a million additional barrels [of oil] a day of production coming on line from Iran. That's why America's ally, the Saudis, really don't want a deal. And I don't blame them. But the problem is, the Americans and the Saudis have very different interests, on this and on many other things. And so the United States is pushing for something that is clearly an unmitigated good for the American economy. If the Iran deal happens, OPEC is effectively destroyed."
