The United States recent foreign policy approach to Iran has been flawed strategically. The demand that the Iranians cease and desist from treating with terrorist organization as a precondition to negotiations was destined to failure. A better approach would have been to enter into negotiations with the Iranians and making it in their best interest to turn away from those organizations by offering them incentives every step of the way to do so. Someone from Nevada might call it the old carrot and the stick ploy.
