I believe they are close but they may be partly bluffing with their WMD, as Sadam was but they are a thorn in the Americans side with their Iranian Oil Bourse which sells oil in currencies other than the Yankee dollar. This may be a threat because it lessens demand for the dollar and lowers it's value. So, if things remain the same in Iran, Obama needs to open up negotiations on a couple of fronts.
Well, publicly Obama isn't saying much, and I think that is a good thing.

The US doesn't need to interfere. Just lets thing progress as is.

Although there are rumors that the State Department contacted Twitter and told them not to do their scheduled maintenance last night.
