President Bush has likened direct diplomatic engagement with Iran to appeasement of Hitler.
But Washington has sent a top US diplomat to meet Iran's nuclear negotiators.
There is also talk of an American diplomatic representation in Tehran.
What is behind this apparent change of strategy?
Robert Baer is a former Middle East specialist with the CIA.
He says America is slowly facing up to the truth that Iran is a regional superpower.
Robert Baer talks to Stephen Sackur
im from iran and i am 100% positive if us dont fight iran when iran get nukes us will regret not doing it so is isreal. irans gov is reckless. and they will do whatever they want however they want. im an american iranian and i think us should attack iran ASAP and not wait for the revolution in iran cuz its not happening they kill every person that is againts the government. we as iranian need help from US.

Bob makes a lot of good points and has a lot of insights, but I agree with you that he mispoke about Iran being out of the terror game since '96.

Iran deserves the kind of country they want, but not at the expense of others. I don't believe Iran is at a place right now, were they could be responsible with a nuke.
this guy is so right...u give iranian little bit of space in every field sincee politics sport militery they will R**e u... our desteny is to be spread light over this dark world but we have to live true this dark process of wars and our own goverment ...but we never forget we are and will allways be mighty persians ..and the empire will grow az its soupose to grow
