Unfortunately, the new administration is not off to an auspicious start.
On Wednesday - less than 24 hours after his inauguration - the Obama White House Web site announced, inter alia, that they will engage in "tough and direct" diplomacy with Iran "without preconditions"...

The report details Tehran's success in circumventing U.N. sanctions and concludes that Iranian scientists already have the "know how" to build a nuclear weapon and that unless action is taken to prevent it, they will possess all necessary technology, equipment and fissile material to deploy nuclear weapons no later than the end of next year and "perhaps sooner."
