Obama team drafting letter to heal Iran rift: report 16 mins ago
LONDON (Reuters) – Officials of U.S. President Barack Obama's administration are drafting a letter to Iran from the president aimed at unfreezing U.S.-Iranian relations and opening the way for face-to-face talks, Britain's Guardian newspaper reported on Thursday.
The U.S. State Department has been working on drafts of the letter since Obama was elected last November, the report said. It was a response to a letter of congratulations sent by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after Obama's poll victory.
The letter gives assurances that Washington does not want to overthrow the Iranian administration, but instead seeks changes in its behavior, the paper said. It would be addressed to the Iranian people and sent directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, or released as an open letter.
In Washington, a State Department official said the policy on Iran was under review and declined to comment on whether a letter was possibly being prepared to send to the Iranians.
"No decision on any specific policy initiative has yet been decided by the State Department," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Guardian said the letter was being considered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as part of a review of U.S. policy on Iran. A decision on sending it was not expected until the review was complete.

Yep. A letter. WOW! How impressive.
Do ya think the Persians will be more touched by Obama’s gesture of a letter than the cake Reagan sent over 25 years ago?
This is ridiculous. They’re fanatics. The Persians are only biding time until they can ship nukes to their friends around the world.
Oh, boy. This should be a beauty of a letter.
Obamessiah’s going to be Ahmadinejad’s fool. He’s too stupid to see it coming and too stupid to know when it happens. Probably too stupid to notice after the fact as well.
Well, people survived the fall of the Roman Empire. People will survive the dissolution of the USSA.
Ah yes, the Grand Gesture from a man who just wants to be left alone and eat his waffle(s)
Errr...”rift”?
Isn’t that a bit of an understatement for people who have declared their intention to kill us? But now that Barry’s warming up his prayer rug in the Oval Office, I guess they won’t have to. We’ll be the 58th Islamic state by the time the next elections roll around.
Will there be tea?
I like tea.
Dear Mamoud,
Do u think we could be BFF?
Luv,
O
It's me, Hussein. Remember me? I'm the guy that just got elected as president of the US. I love that whole "takiyah" thing, ya know. I use it all the time. How do you think I got elected?
I just wanted to drop you great guys a line to let you know that I want a whole new thang between us, ya know? I am sick of the USA always assuming you want to kill us and all. Like most well-meaning Americans, I am sure that whole 9/11 thing was a big mistake. Besides, my Spiritual Mentor, Rev. Wright, tells me WE are the ones that did it, anyway. I'm looking into that right after I check our files to see if that whole "Holocaust" thing really happened.
Anyhoo, my Muslim background reminds me that we are all friends here. As your new president... I mean as the president of the USA, I apologize for this evil, great Satan here and will turn that around for you guys ASAP.
If I can help you out with anything give me a call. Need some nukes? We got a lot of 'em. Want us to put our generals and past leaders in jail? Will do.
Oh, and don't worry about the "country" of Israel. I am workin' on that for ya'all.
OK? So, peace out, peace in our times, an' all that. Cool?
Signed,
Your pal,
B. HUSSEIN Obama
President of the world the USA
Why is the Messiah and great author Obama letting the State dept write the letter?
I guess the ONE is letting the Clintons write it since they have experience when the zipper went to Africa to apologize for slavery. All you have to do is apologize for everything the US has done in its History ,bring all the troops home from around the world end all financial and military aid to Israel and everything will be fine .
Why didnt we think of all this before?
The Israelis must be wondering who the hell the Americans elected. Trouble is, we don’t know either but he appears to have a juvenile conception of the world.
My fellow Muslims....
I believe the obama team has been back channeling with Iran for a long time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s successful with this move. There’s always the military option to fall back on if it doesn’t work.
well that’s cute if Amadiniwackjob is awaiting his superior’s orders isn’t it?
“The U.S. State Department has been working on drafts of the letter since Obama was elected last November...”
A letter, since November? Can’t get past the Jackie Gleason humina, humina, humina?
Or can’t O get his Secretary of State to make the trip?
Define “successful”.
The only “success” will be Iran getting the bomb.
