So there would be no need for backroom dealings, as I see it. A plain-sight bilateral resolution which allows Iran to continue down its path of nuclear power without arming itself would be face-saving for both Iran and the US. And, despite its recent efforts to leverage the Palestine issue, Iran still hasn't won over any Arabs.

Iraq right now has so many back room dealings over where our troops are allowed and not allowed. Do you really think Iran would be any different?
Iran may not have won over many Arabs but they still supply the weaponry that is killing not only Arabs but members of every other culture serving there and in neighboring countries.
So long as jihad and the destruction of Israel is apparent Iran remains a ligitmate threat and will continue to do so until brought to heal either by the U.N. their own neighbors or the U.S.. Either way it will come to a conclusion.
