Sun thinks the ayotollahs are not the revolutionaries they once were. He also sees a commonality of geopolitical interests between US and IRAN. All the oil is in shiaa areas even in Saudi which is a sunni country.
Sun also feels that despite the new prez rhetoric which is largely for arab consumption, iran would be willing to strike a deal with israel as well.
But even if he is wrong, i go back to my comments on allying with stalin against hitler for example to defeat the nazis. And for the iranians even if they are still firebrands they too might want to offset the increasing influence that russia and china have on them being on their borders. Also they dont want spillage from afganistan if the US were to have setback there.
Its all interesting stuff and i suggest you take a fresh look at this as i have. Getting al quaeda and bin laden are job #1. No doubt iran has been a terror state but Libya just changed sides and khaddafi is still nuts and still in power.
