Good post.

I also agree that at least for a short time US should not proceed to contact the Iranian government.

Alarming pattern!!!

I want to bring it up to readers attention about something that struck my mind.

It seems to me that "some" elections around Russia are going bad and the oppositions which arenot favouring Russia`s policies are crying foul! It happened last month in Iran and today I heard the same thing about Kirkizestan. I wonder if Russia has any hands in both elections?

I remind you that the killing style of dissidents in both countries Russia and Iran are strikingly similar and that is alarmning. It does not matter who teaches who but it does matter that they are copies of one another.

For the US to engage or not to engage with IR at this time.

Thankyou.

Of course,i don't agree not necessarily with what the panel are saying but the motivations behind those comments.

BUT , I also need to find time and attention to listen to the discussion properly. Luckily it is quite interesting, even if unforfunate.
