US rapprochement with Iran? Maybe not a total Gulf meltdown after all...

In recent weeks Iran and the United States have engaged in what one senior administration official calls a ballet, in which both sides are taking tentative steps to explore where their national security interests intersect, in this crisis and beyond.

possibly the next step in the breakdown leading to WWIII.


1. How many sides will there be.
2. Who will be on which sides?

I can readily say America, Britain, Israel (even tho not too happy with US at the moment), Germany?, Japan (abstain - not allowed to wage wars), France?, Russia?

Would make an interesting poll.
