Shift in Relations?

On Friday, President Barack Obama spoke on the phone with with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani; the first direct conversation between leaders in Washington and Tehran since 1979 -- raising the possibility a deal can be reached over Iran's controversial nuclear program. When Obama described the conversation he said he believes an agreement is possible regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions that could lead to better relations. The last time a U.S. president spoke with an Iranian leader was in 1979, when Jimmy Carter talked by telephone with Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi before Pahlavi was overthrown.
I think it's good that we are making progress in this issue. I think discussing such things is important to finding a solution. If we can come to an agreement then this whole issue can be solved in a somewhat peaceful manner. I believe it's good the United States is taking action on this and in a way that does not cause controversy or impose further problems. I do think we need to not jump to conclusions just yet and think things through thoroughly before taking any further action. Overall, I think this is a big step in finding a probably solution.
