Iran's Nuclear Weapons

The whole world has been watching Iran closely over the past few years, especially when it became known how close they were to having nuclear weapons. While I do not like how Obama handled the Syria situation (the fact that he kept changing his mind on what he wanted to do), I did like him ultimately deciding to take a more diplomatic route. It appears that he is taking this same diplomatic route with Iran. 

Hassan Rouhani, Iran's newly elected president, appears to be more complying and willing to work with the international community compared to his predecessors. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif recently met with one another to discuss the issue of Iran's nuclear weapons, and Rouhani seems very pleased with how the meeting went. I believe this is a good thing for the world as a whole. If we can control Iran's nuclear situation, the whole world will feel safer. I hope that Obama continues on with this diplomatic approach and doesn't jump the gun. This meeting between Kerry and Zarif marks the first meeting in more than 30 years between high level officials if the two countries. While I have disagreed with Obama on many things he has done during his two terms, the handling of the Iran situation, as of now, is one that I agree with. 

There is great optimism that there will be a meeting set between Obama and Rouhani. Rouhani does not just want to talk to Obama, he wants to talk to all of the countries who are skeptical about the stability of Iran. He wants to make the world feel at ease and wants to be more open. I certainly did not expect this to happen, but I am glad to see a more diplomatic approach is happening. We will see how this will unfold after the meetings take place, and I hope that my optimism of the situation will still exist.
