I agree that the actual President does not have the final say-so. However, when he does act without comment from the clerics, you can assume they have bought into the same rhetoric already. I agree talking takes time. Time however, is what we do not have. Especially if you want to prevent Iran from getting a weapon. I disagree. For the US to do this, they will have to make concession that we are unwilling to make (or at least should be unwilling to make). Dealing with Iran in this regard will be the death nail in the fact that Iran will get a nuclear weapon. I would say that fact alone means that we do not ask the Iranians for supply routes. I agree the rhetoric will most likely change. However any change will be accepting that Iran has already won and will go nuclear. I see little success for the region, regardless of whether or not Washington and Tehran reach some accord. The mere fact that a nuclear Iran upsets the entire balance of power in the Middle East will not be settled by some meaningless accord. I will tell you right now that Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt are not going to rest their security on any accord such as you are describing.
