People do point to WWII for bring us out of the depression and the postwar boom. Iran's industry is oil though, probably why they know we need the Keystone pipeline.

ABC headline: "John Kerry Concedes Iran Is Moving Closer to Possessing Nuclear Weapon"

There is nothing in that report that indicates Kerry makes that claim.

Secretary of State John Kerry Interview With Martha Raddatz from Doha Transcript
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/TheNote/secretary-state-john-kerry-interview-martha-raddatz-doha/story

RADDATZ: Secretary Kerry, let's start with Iran. You have said they do not have an infinite amount of time for negotiations. The Israelis have said they're moving closer to the red line. Do you agree with the Israelis?

KERRY: Well, I'm not getting into red lines and timing publicly except to reiterate what the president has said again and again. Which is he prefers to have a diplomatic solution. He would like to see the P1+5 process and negotiation process be able to work and avoid any consideration of any kind of military action.

Kerry goes on to say specifically that he's not getting into time frames and that there is time for negotiation.
