Despite mutual concerns to save face, the first step in effective diplomacy is direct talks toward amiable diplomacy. Iran and the United States have never needed each other as much as now..."

I think you are very optimistic. however if such a thing happens Iranians will have a better life.
The United States should also consider what is happening in Pakistan. As Sen. Biden always emphasizes, Pakistan is the most dangerous country in the Middle East, although we are not aware of that.
