I wouldn't be so sure of that. Their assistance will surely come with a price, for sure. It depends on what Obama prioritizes here. Despite all his faults, I perceive him to be wiser then his predecessors and a better judge of history. When she prefers diplomacy over military muscles, US track record in foreign policy hasn't been all that bad, provided she doesn't quit half way. We also have to have clear picture on what Iran prioritizes herself. Their current president is pretty much a bad news for the congress hawks, so this is possibly their last chance to keep the current way of things. We shall see.
