(Washington Post) Editorial - At the heart of the Obama administration's diplomatic engagement with Iran is the notion that the regime is divided among hard-liners who foment its terrorism and regional aggression and more moderate forces who are open to cooperation with the West, embodied by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
