And so we arrive at a moment of truth. In Tehran last year, supporters of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani​ explained, almost giddily, how this nuclear deal would remake their country.

As explained by economist and financial consultant Rocky Ansari​, if Rouhani could succeed economically and diplomatically, then conservative regime powerbrokers who had wielded the "Great Satan" bogy as a pretext for squeezing the juice out of life for Iranians for more than three decades, would become impotent – and thus be unable to block a subsequent push by Rouhani for social and human rights reforms.

Rouhani's moment has arrived – we have the deal that Ansari said he'd need to refashion his country.

As agreed in talks concluded late on Monday in Vienna, sanctions go; Iran keeps its "peaceful" nuclear program; Tehran reduces its stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98 per cent; and it reduces by two-thirds, to 5060, the number of centrifuges at its Natanz processing plant.

There will be continuous international monitoring of the program. And in a devilish deal, there's to be a "snapback clause"– if an international panel declares that Iran is not keeping its side of the bargain, it'll be reshackled in sanctions in a matter of weeks.

What remains to be seen is if the affable Rouhani is the man for the job.

To be described as a reformist in Tehran doesn't mean a lot in terms of departure from the radical conservatism that underpins the regime of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. And it's not as though Iran has become a human rights haven under Rouhani's management since he won office in 2013.
