Many Western leaders are duped to think that the new Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani, is any better than the previous President Ahmadinejad. Iran will never give up their nuclear goal and any hint of brokering a halt to Iran arming themselves with a nuclear weapon are lies.
The Iranian leaders from the Ayatollah to the President to the main Islamic sect are from the Shia school and opposes the Suni school which forms the 85% of the Islamic believers. They believe in the last Imam (12th) and is called the Mahdi, the Islamic version of the "Messiah". Their nuclear goal is to cause a conflagration to usher in the Mahdi and it is religious in nature. They believe this conflagration can be started by a nuclear attack on Israel.
