At this point both the US and Iran seem to be "talking" past each other, although the president of Iran did write an 18pg letter to The Decider recently. The Decider never responded - not even with an acknowledgement that a letter from a president of another country was received at the WH. What is The Decider afraid of? He does not have to get involved in these talks - in fact I would STRONGLY lobby that he NOT get involved.
The sooner we engage Iran in talks, the better.
We will eventually talk to Iran, but not while this admin is in the WH.
