Is Iran Ready to Make a Deal? (12:07PM)
As UN Security Council members plus Germany head for Baghdad to talk with Iran about its nuclear program, is a breakthrough at hand?

Is Iran caving in because of economic sanctions and a threatened embargo of its oil? Is this another example of creating false expectations?
