But there is a deeper reason for the success of the nuclear negotiations: Khomeini’s Islamic revolution of 1979 has finally ended – and Khamenei knows it. He must also know that the export of Islamic revolution from Shia Iran has lost its allure, replaced in the Sunni world first by the global jihad of al-Qaeda and now by the so-called Islamic State and caliphate of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
但核谈判的成功还有一个更深层次的原因：1979年的霍梅尼伊斯兰革命终于结束了——并且哈梅内伊知道这一点。他还必须明白，什叶派伊朗所输出伊斯兰革命已经失去了吸引力，在逊尼派世界中，它首先被基地组织的全球圣战所取代，现在又被所谓的伊斯兰国和巴格达迪的哈里发所取代。
