Iran holds the key to settle matters in Iraq. US can't be asking Iran for help after imposing sanctions on them.

Iran’s foreign minister posted a defiant YouTube message on Wednesday, just as high-stakes talks over Iran’s nuclear program are resuming amid dim hopes for a breakthrough by a mid-July deadline.
“Iranians are allergic to pressure,” Mohammad Javad Zarif says in the English-language video. “Let’s try mutual respect.”

Iran’s YouTube Video Tells Obama Not to Bully on Nuclear Talks - TIME
 
Is it a demand or a beg?
 
Obama doesn't bully anybody except for the American people that he hates so much.
 
I don't believe that the USA does diplomacy via YouTube.
 
So why is Obama imposing sanctions against a country with no WMDs and that hasn't attacked the US? I thought that's what he disagreed with Bush about.
 
Bullying tactics goes without saying by a superpower. But it won't work with Russia and China.

The GOP Senate has been the one pushing for tough sanctions on Iran.
The GOP used sanctions as an excuse to scuttle the Veteran's bill several months ago.
A bill still not through the House but okayed by war-monger McLame.

You see, the Senate GOPs want to bottle up each bill with amendments like the Iran sanctions amendment.
If they don't get it, they filibuster .

He's been so busy cleaning up Bush's and Cheney's messes, some independent of each other, BHO hasn't got time to think of those clowns.
He does have time to bait the House TEAts on Impeachment though, since he has nothing to sign from them yet ongoing business.

I'm proud of him trying to solve our problems with both hands tied behind his back.
And though you and Xy don't speak this way, some on dp are openly calling for Obama to be terminated .

Wrong, war is the last step in diplomacy. There's other options before that. Bush/Cheney had the lets just bomb em attitude, like McCain.

Okay--just his right-hand is tied behind his back--so he can write his BHO on XOs.
What is really torturing the TEAs is that Obama is tweaking them every day.
And today's jobs reports, stock market and so much more are bringing a new dawn to the American dream.
I believe that WE can win .

Really?
How do you arrive at this conclusion?
Shiite Iran would seem to be allied with Iraq's Shiite majority.
How would Iraq's disgruntled Sunnis be reigned in by Iran?
What about Saudi Arabia?
No....no one holds the key to peace in the ME.
Eventually, people will get sick of killing each other---maybe---and the violence will stop.

Imposing sanctions and waging war/invasion are two different things.
I would concede that both actions are equally ineffective.

They do it by twitter ;)

So FLOTUS goes to twitter to battle against Boko Haram and Iran uses Youtube to tell the US to stop bullying them. What's next? North Korea creating a anti-Seth Rogan tumblr? Putin posting up Instagram photos of the next place he wants to invade? Mexico using LinkedIn to show people US jobs that they can get to send money back into Mexico? Israel and Gaza using eHarmony to pair up and find out they're actually comparable? China continually poking us on Facebook?

And wrong, especially when it has not been CONFIRMED that Iran is building a nuclear weapon. Not that they shouldn't be allowed to since Pakistan, a less stabil country was allowed one.

Malike is a Shiite. They could work together in halting ISIS advances and USA is too slow as Syria (your enemy) is doing the air strikes in Iraq.
