So let's take your example and ignore the nuclear ramifications here. While I don't necessarily think that either the US or Iran is a perfect or good faith actor in these discussions, do you think if this agreement would have fallen through it would have done more to help or harm Western relations with Iran? This is a path to fewer sanctions and more openness, no?
Nuclear ramifications? Stop treading bro. Iran isn't going to drop the bomb on anyone anytime soon. They're oligarch leadership is fat and happy and wants nothing to do with a nuclear holocaust. And Bebe is just being the neo-con he keeps getting elected to be. Power is a hell of a drug. Nobody is starting WWIII.
Now regional Sunni/Shia proxy wars? That shit is real. Unfortunately the short term answer is probably going to have to be containment. Let them fight over Allah and only intervene when it's gets out of hand (i.e. IS) and avoid nation building at all cost. No more Iraq or Afghanistans. I don't think it would be the worst thing ever to passively allow a large chunk of the area revert back to tribalism. A lot of those countries make no fucking sense.
