As to the common ground: there is the minor detail of Iran being totalitarianistic oppressors and human rights violaters, but ahhh .... who cares about that. It's all sixes.
How is it our problem that Iran's government oppresses? I'm not a Constitution Scholar, but I don't remember any part that says it's the mission of the US government to ensure rights for citizens of other countries. The Bill of Rights as I understand it only applies inside the United States. Our ancestors had to fight the Revolutionary War to get rights, I suggest Iranians do the same if they want more rights.
