Which means that the public/media really does not have an idea what is really going on. Not that that will stop people/media from speculating of course.

Since Iranians are ready to talk about halting their development of nukes, they'll be milking the west for all it's worth.
And after they get nice, fat and content Ban Ki-moon will receive a package with 4 nuts, 5 bolts and 3 nintendo tetris circuits titled Dismantled nuclear program.

Catch-22, Iran is becoming a major player in the region and flexing its muscles. The only block to its power is Saudi Arabia and they're not exactly known for their rationality and co-operation either.
So whose side do you pick?

I would see them exchanging nukes over ME and see oil prices rise. Supply arms to both sides too. But if I had to pic sides - i would provide conditional support to Iran.

The Saudis have stated publicly they will acquire nuclear capability should Iran do likewise in the future.
