When North Korea met with South Korea, Japan, Russia, China, and the United States concerning its nuclear facility, North Korea made an agreement to disable nuclear reactors by the new year. In addition, NPR claims that North and South Korea have come to a "common ground" at their summit.

I feel that important progress has been made from both meetings, but would like to focus on the disabling of nuclear facilities. After seeing what has happened with North Korea, I wonder if the same diplomacy could change the nuclear progress in Iran. Although Iran has not said that they have made any nuclear weapons and North Korea has tested their own nuclear weapons, I still believe that there is a parallel. If one is possible do you believe that another is? Do you believe that we should confront Iran through diplomacy about their nuclear facilities? Do you believe that it is necessary? And if so, should we intervene by other means?
Although I am not sure what is the best way to intervene, I do feel that America should, and I believe that the agreement made in North Korea today shows hope for a peaceful and diplomatic approach to address such a situation.

i'd like to believe that this could help but i dont really think it will especially since Iran has yet to admit whether or not they are making nuclear weapons
I do not think that we should confront Iran through diplomacy about their nuclear facilities because they may feel that we are accusing them. Also, I think that even if we did try to confront them, I do not think that they would admit or reveal that they have nuclear weapons. Right now, I do not think it is necessary because they have not used any of their nuclear weapons yet, and the US gets itself involved in too many issues with other countries. It is not good for the US to police others concerning nuclear weapons, when we ourselves have nuclear weapons.
