#1 Good job, Treasury boys. This sort of thing is effective. They've been the unsung heroes ever since this whole thing started.

#2 Sounds like something you trot out to explain absence of tangible gains.

#3 Not necessarily the "absence of tangible gains". More of asymmetrical warfare. Hit them on all fronts. Political, economical, spiritual and militarily.
I do see Iran becoming more and more isolated, thanks to political and economic pressure. The question is, will it work quickly enough to break the current government before they make nukes and push the button?

#4 No. Next question.

#5 I figure it's like a chess game. They are trading position for pieces. The piece they want is the nuclear bomb, at which point they are thinking they will control the world, and they can regain the position they gave up earlier.

It's a footrace.
