US Iran and India

Because of short sightedness of US foreign policy towards Iran in 40-70, these two countries dont have any contact with each other. To begin with US helped undemocratic forces there which ultimately resulted in revolution as a reaction. That revolution brought religious extremist to power. If US had respected will of Iranian people and worked with it, that would have been beneficial for whole world. For now it can still start talking to it and at least have diplomatic relations to begin with. India can be a very good mediator as it has very good relations with both the countries. If it plays the facilitator's role it would be one of the steps towards getting into world politics as a major active player rather than a silent observer as it is now. Both US and Iran can tell world that they are or were significant players who have influenced the world permenantly. Nice relations between these two countries will be a very big boost for regional and world peace.
