    Occum's Razor

    I'm hard pressed to understand why Iran would not welcome a " a robust diplomatic engagement..." as opposed to the bluster they've been treated to over so many years. Since no one actually knows what the future course of events will be with regard to relations between the US and Iran, it is reasonable to expect that diplomatic engagement represents the simplest answer, and is therefore the one that makes most sense.
