The P5 plus 1 are negotiating a deal on Nukes.
That does not equate to the US letting Iran have the run of the ME.
It does not stop the US from sabotage either.
Many in the west myself included hope for a revolution in Iran.
If no deal is reached, the sanctions increased, the economy worsens, and then we will see mass rioting.
Unfortunately, the present leadership would not hesitate to commit mass murder and massacre demonstrators. Self preservation of their power will cause that.
Even the Shah did not do that.
I understand the basis of your point. An Iranian revolution, the overthrow of the authoritarian government and figs for everybody in Iran. Except, the revolutions across the region are tearing it apart. Things are worse in the region than they've been in our lifetimes. And the more US/Western policy digs, the hole just gets deeper. I'm waiting for the day when there are more people in the West that acknowledge, ok, what we done so far has only worsened things. Then, maybe we can get on with a new approach.
