13. Iran would accept the general peace terms put forth by saudi arabia.
That is that the muslim nations in the region would agree to a comprehensive peace with Israel in exchange for Israel's return to the 1967 borders and a resolution of the palestinian refugee problem.

"Just after the lightning takeover of Baghdad by U.S. forces three years ago, an unusual two-page document spewed out of a fax machine at the Near East bureau of the State Department. It was a proposal from Iran for a broad dialogue with the United States, and the fax suggested everything was on the table -- including full cooperation on nuclear programs, acceptance of Israel and the termination of Iranian support for Palestinian militant groups.

But top Bush administration officials, convinced the Iranian government was on the verge of collapse, belittled the initiative. Instead, they formally complained to the Swiss ambassador who had sent the fax with a cover letter certifying it as a genuine proposal supported by key power centers in Iran, former administration officials said."

The real question here is who exactly is promoting chaos and conflict, and the answers are not at all clear.
