Tehran , Iran ( CNN ) There is a Persian proverb that says : `` A good year is determined by its spring . '' For many Iranians , the historic decision by Tehran and six world powers -- the United States , Britain , France , Germany , Russia and China -- to continue nuclear negotiations under a `` joint comprehensive plan of action '' is an indication that this year 's Norouz , the Persian New Year that started on March 21 , will be a superb one indeed . Although edgy hardliners may now try to play games and complain the preliminary agreement is not what they had hoped , for many people it shows excellent progress and that 's what they want . It paves the way for a much broader deal by end of June that guarantees the peaceful nature of Tehran 's nuclear activities in return for the lifting of sanctions and a return to the international community . As is , the stakes are high and the choice is clear for President Hassan Rouhani and his `` moderate '' administration . They must now be over the moon : In early 2016 , there will be Legislative and Assembly of Experts elections , the latter of which elects the country 's leader . This historic agreement will make sure they win both the elections . So far , Rouhani 's team has done nothing to improve the living conditions of ordinary Iranians who complain they have lost half of their purchasing power in recent years .

And now he has . A full deal ultimately represents a referendum on the Rouhani administration 's foreign policy . It will definitely strengthen his hand , which he needs to stay in the game , or better yet , win the next presidential race . The good news is that people are more than happy to welcome the preliminary agreement . They had always wanted a way out of the current impasse with the rest of the world and as a reward they could keep the moderates in power for the foreseeable future . Iranians blame sanctions and the previous hardline government for the sorry state of affairs in the economy -- especially the way they so poorly handled past nuclear talks of the past -- with devastating consequences . Many believe that now there is a joint comprehensive plan of action -- the culmination of a 12-year process -- there is something to hope for . In many respects , it 's a new beginning and that allows Iranians a very small degree of hope inside themselves too . Looking back , the previous government traded those expectations for international isolation and economic hardship . Despite skepticism , even the country 's leader , Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei , now feels that the light at the end of the tunnel might not be a train and that the talks could end well .

Little wonder he had urged the nation -- including the well-funded hardliners -- to support the government 's overture , saying the negotiating team was trustworthy and had been doing a fine job . It was a historic gesture that represents qualified support for continued diplomacy and that could lead to a historic step forward . It places confidence and hope in the negotiating team and the P5+1 group of world powers , guaranteeing no-one in Iran will stand in the way of principled diplomatic engagement and international rapprochement . Within this context , many Iranians are jubilant . They should be . More than ever , they are confident that not striking a comprehensive deal would be a historic mistake . They are confident it is within reach and this is as it should be : A win-win deal for all . They now strongly believe the lifting of international sanctions is no longer illusive . It would resuscitate the country 's ailing economy and improve their lives . At least , that 's what they hope . It 's early spring and people on the streets are talking about nothing but the current choice . It represents the biggest chance of rapprochement between Tehran and Washington since the Iranian revolution in 1979 . After all , for many Iranians this is more than just a nuclear agreement .
