As for Iran reneging on agreements, that's hardly their single preserve now is it?

I'm not exactly sure what other agreements are being alluded to, but I cannot deny nor refute the statement that the behavior is not mutually exclusive to Iran. Local politics are disgusting enough, global politics are obscene.

With the history of legitimate distrust on both sides, and taking into account the current administrations and current political climate, can you see any hope for good faith negotiations? I am afraid that I cannot. Any compromisers on either side are drowned out by the hardline extremists.
