The Strait of Hormuz is the Worlds Oil Life Line.
IRAN....has broken just about every part of the NPT. As part of that treaty...Iran must allow International Nuclear Inspectors access to any and all Nuclear Sites. There must be Video Cameras Installed and WORKING at every site...Iran has pulled all of them out. Iran threw out all Nuclear Inspectors from their country. Iran is not allowed to develop or build secret Nuclear Sites as it has admitted doing as well as U.S. Satellite Tech. detection of several other Nuclear Sites. Iran has removed Nuclear Fuel Rods from Reactors without supervision of International Nuclear Inspectors. Iran has the right to Uranium Enrichment...but it also has built Tens of Thousands of CENTRIFUGES which do not break the treaty...cost thousands of times more than simply purchasing Reactor Fuel from Russia or another state.
But the BIGGEST MISTAKE IRAN HAS MADE....is that it is playing NUCLEAR GAMES WITH A SUPER POWER! A game it will loose and loose badly! Split Infinity

The October surprise was the unemployment numbers going down. Obviously since it was planned it is bogus. An announcement of Iran claiming they are stopping Uranium enrichment which they swear they are not doing would not be believable to begin with.
TEHRAN, Iran—Iran is ready to show flexibility at nuclear talks to ease Western concerns over its nuclear program, its foreign ministry spokesman said on Saturday, as tensions rise in the standoff between the country, Israel and the West.
WASHINGTON — The United States and Iran have agreed in principle for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, according to Obama administration officials, setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran.
Iranian officials have insisted that the talks wait until after the presidential election, a senior administration official said, telling their American counterparts that they want to know with whom they would be negotiating. ....
U.S. Officials Say Iran Has Agreed to Nuclear Talks
WASHINGTON – On the eve of the last presidential debate – focusing, of course, on foreign policy – the White House is flat-out denying there are any plans for one-on-one talks between the U.S. and Iran on its uranium enrichment program.
While WND broke a story this week quoting Iranian sources as saying a deal has already been brokered between high-ranking U.S. administration negotiators and a representative of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the New York Times followed up today with a story suggesting the U.S. and Iran were on the verge of opening one-on-one talks, the White House quickly denied the story.....
U.S.-Iran nuke talks: On or off?
UPDATE 1: (Via Politico ) The White House is denying the U.S. will be engaging in one on one talks with Iran:
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor offered a denial.
"It’s not true that the United States and Iran have agreed to one-on-one talks or any meeting after the American elections," he said in a statement.
"We continue to work with the P-5 on a diplomatic solution and have said from the outset that we would be prepared to meet bilaterally. The president has made clear that he will prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and we will do what we must to achieve that. It has always been our goal for sanctions to pressure Iran to come in line with its obligations. The onus is on the Iranians to do so, otherwise they will continue to face crippling sanctions and increased pressure."
However, The New York Times noted that Israel is critical of these direct talks and said that the Obama administration "had not informed" the Israeli government of the negotiations with Iran:
Israeli officials initially expressed an awareness of, and openness to, a diplomatic initiative. But when asked for a response on Saturday, Israel’s ambassador to Washington, Michael B. Oren, said the administration had not informed Israel, and that the Israeli government feared Iran would use new talks to “advance their nuclear weapons program.”

Well, here's an interesting tidbit today, supporting your claim OP, of impending talks with Iran on their nuclear program.
You gotta wonder if this is a diplomatic breakthrough or convenient propaganda...
www.msnbc.msn.com...
I think it is obvious "convenient propaganda".
Reza Kahlili is a pseudonym for a former CIA operative in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards...He serves on ... the advisory board of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran (FDI).
The Foundation for Democracy in Iran is a U.S. organization. Several of its Board Members are current or former CIA assets, including former CIA Director Wollsey and former Defense intelligence operative Frank Gaffney, and others are openly affiliated with the Mossad intelligence agency, including Menashe Amir.[citation needed] FDI was founded in 1995 by Kenneth R. Timmerman, Peter W. Rodman, Joshua Muravchik and American intelligence officials advocating regime change in Iran.[citation needed]
Recently, the group gained attention for a lawsuit it brought in the Southern District of New York for Manhattan alleging that Iran was behind the 9-11 terrorist attacks.[citation needed]

And thanks to YNetNews, we may now know who the administration’s designated voice is: Obama confidante and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. From the article:
A Chicago lawyer is the key player behind the secret talks between the US and Iran, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday. A close friend of Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett is assisting the US government communicate behind the scenes with the representatives of Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
Jarret, who was born in the Iranian city of Shiraz, is a senior advisor to US President Barack Obama.
