The World Obama Inherits: Iran’s Nuclear Challenge

Among the many international challenges facing a young Obama administration, Iran's defiant pursuit of nuclear capabilities will be one of the most difficult to resolve. Ahmadinejad sent Obama a congratulatory letter—the first such communication to an incoming American leader in the nearly 30 years since the strongly anti-U.S. Islamic revolution. But since then, Iranian hard-liners seem to be regrouping. They have charged that Obama differs little from President Bush on Iran. Indeed, some appear to be of a mind to put up obstacles to full-on negotiations with Obama's incoming diplomats, perhaps including hard-to-accept preconditions.

To put aside all the foul optimism we have to realize the fact that this is the same old United Sates but in new season, and seasons come and go. Iran should bear in mind that we have been at odds with the Unites states over major issues since the revolution and due to their depth none of them seem to have softened over the years.
How can we come to terms with the U.S. when we are considered as a thread to their national security, to their foster child Israel and a supporter of radical Islamic groups.
Therefore it is very true that Obama faces a great challenge over Iran's nuclear issue, snce he could continue the same trend taken by his predecessors or perhaps “make history” and start a seemingly new policy. But it is even truer that what our next president does will be a whole new start for Iran in both foreign and internal affairs.
