I'm going to feel bad for doing this but here is my uneducated opinion on the matter. I was reading the wikipedia article on US-Iran relations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_%E...ates_relations), and I don't know how I exactly feel. Recently, they demanded the US vacate the Persian Gulf. Apparently the state was preaching anti-American sentiment to the people. They're seems to be buckets full of bad blood between both the US and Iran.

I really think we should leave a sovereign state to develop on their own. We should strive to build better diplomatic relations with them. However, I'm a little worried about them developing weapons and that they may house violent extremists.
