The US-Iran issue is irrevocably tied to a strategic view of the M.E. No amount of rhetoric or wishful thinking will change that.President Obama's view of what a "diplomatic solution" means will remain unacceptable to Iran's political elite for as long as they remain in power. The Iranian political establishment is under no illusion and fully understands the President's "diplomatic solution".

Absent a profound strategic realignment by the US in the Middle East, the chances of any solution to the US-Iran conflict remain practically non-existent. The view that sanctions will bring Iran to the table is based on either a delusion, or it is disingenuous. Unfortunately, US and Iran are already engaged in a "shadow war" - this is not new and is likely to intensify.
