Richard Branson: Iran emergence one of the most exciting things happening in the world

Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, has been an optimist about the talks leading to an Iran deal - and he proved to be right.

Back in March 2014, he wrote a piece in the Virgin official website titled "Optimism over Iran". He writes: "One of the most exciting things happening in the world today is Iran being brought into the global community".

"The international community should embrace, welcome and celebrate what looks like being one of the most important foreign policy breakthroughs of our generation", he continues. (Also after Lausanne agreement in April 2015 he writes another piece congratulating all parties involved).
