Saturday's Final Word
The US and Iran are preparing for talks on a deal to end the war, which could unlock billions of dollars for Iran and reopen its economy to global investment. However, the deal may strengthen the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a force considered a terrorist organization by the US and its Western allies.
