The recent negotiated deal with Iran has many people asking one question: how will this affect Iran's ability to export oil and in turn the global price of oil? It may seem like a valid question, but there are several reasons why it shouldn't be the primary concern for energy investors.

Also, there is that tricky fact that Iran is part of OPEC, which could actually hamper its production.
