Iran Nuclear Deal Expected To Have Widespread Economic Impact

The landmark deal over Iran’s nuclear program will lift sanctions against the country, which will have economic consequences around the globe.

Jason Bellini of the Wall Street Journal joins Here & Now’s Meghna Chakrabarti to discuss the anticipated economic ripples of the deal reached in Vienna on Tuesday.
