Iran Wonders Who's in Charge? Obama (and Clinton) Step up to Answer

Interesting article by Reuters (Parsi) give one context to American politics.  When it comes to more sanctions with Iran, "Obama has succeeded in changing the underlying politics of the matter. The debate over Iran sanctions is no longer about Iran, but about war with Iran.
Diplomacy with Iran is the best way of avoiding both a nuclear Iran, and bombing Iran. Any measure that undermines diplomacy, such as new sanctions, automatically enhances the risk of war. Passing sanctions on Iran used to be the safest political move in Congress. But today, imposing sanctions means supporting war, which is a move that carries a tremendous political cost.
