COMMENT

This was a good article. 

Wonder if that x10 US sailors captured in Iranian waters helped swing things in Iran's favour at all?

Looks like Iran has a 'law of return' of it's own:  return to Iran for [alleged] US spying & expect prison, whatever the adopted citizenship ... lol.

It looks like Asian banks cannot be trusted with money, as they back US agenda.
And it looks like Obama's keeping US farmers happy (ending sanctions on foodstuffs), as well as keeping the Jewish/Israel lobbies happy by otherwise maintaining Iran trade sanctions by the sound of things, despite some exemptions in addition to foodstuffs?
It is highly unlikely that the Levinson guy is still alive.
