Even after Barack Obama decided to lift financial sanctions on Iran in
January, the Islamic country is still having a hard time participating in
the global economy.
Recent events around the world, such as Great Britain's vote to leave the
European Union and the rise of Republican nominee Donald Trump, have
crippled Western governments from sealing long term financial contracts with
Iran.
"Iran will continue to work with small banks, institutions as long as major
European banks are reluctant to return to Iran," a senior Iranian official
said.

"Fear over Brexit's financial consequences have made Britain and other
European countries more careful over their interaction with Iran. Most of
them have adopted the policy of watch and see," another senior Iranian
official told Reuters.
"The British banks and authorities have a very big problem to deal with and
since the vote, they have been less eager about Iran and I can even say
almost not interested. Of course, we believe we can still work with British
banks and have told them so."
It seems as though Donald Trump and the American people are putting world
banks on hold until the night of November 8 when we will all know our fate.
With Trump's rise and the decision of the British to distance themselves
from countries such as Iran who have fundamentally different values, it is
no wonder why this election may be one of the most important of all time.
