Bushehr nuclear reactor represents, a mere 1% of Iran's electric generation. This state of affairs will last many years more, even whilst the Russians undertake further such power projects in Iran. Nuclear reactors and power stations require 25 years to design and build, if done properly.
On the other hand with sanctions lifted (fundamentally affecting the oil and gas industries in Iran) the URGENT NEED TO FIND ALTERNATIVE POWER will cease in Iran, and the rabble rousing conservatives will find less cause to rally the nation around this NONE-ISSUE.
With the lifting of sanctions, the none-Issue will become a background none-issue.
Perhaps under Obama, normalization of relations between the two countries can also take place.....who knows?
Perhaps by January 20th 2017, the normalization process between the two countries will progress so far that ANY extremist Republican President will find it difficult to unravel the progressive amicable relationship.
Perhaps the Democrats might win the Presidency for a third unprecedented term, a record since FDR? .....Should the Republicans press for Jeb Crime Family Bush...and ALL the other Israeli Firsters. War and Conflict Second. USA Last.

Iran Framework Deal Reached, Officials Confirm
.
Talks Aimed at Finalizing Deal by End of June
.
by Jason Ditz at antiwar.com
US, German, and Iranian officials have begun confirming early Thursday that the long-sought framework on Iran’s nuclear deal has been reached, with the debate now centering on how much will be made public.
.
The framework is simply the basis for future talks, which officials say will begin immediately, and the new goal is to have the final agreement in place by the end of June.
.
Congressional leaders, including House Foreign Affairs chairman Ed Royce (R – CA), are already expressing outrage at the framework even before the press conference is made, demanding new sanctions to force Iran into a “better deal.”
.
Intelligence communities worldwide seem virtually unanimous in the agreement that new sanctions would sabotage the talks, and convince Iran that the US can’t be trusted to keep its end of the pact.
.
It is this sabotage that has Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who opposes a deal, lobbying heavily for Congressional action.
.
The framework underscores progress already made on the final agreement, but will doubtless add momentum to the US hawks and the Israel Lobby to take preemptive action preventing the agreement from ever being reached.
