The achievement of “good neighborliness” with Iran seems to be a distinct possibility according to the president.

Here at Camp David, POTUS says he discussed Iran’s destabilizing activities & hopes can achieve "peace" & "good neighborliness" with #Iran

Iran still has a bit of work to do on the “good neighbor” front.

Not to the president:

Obama: "the purpose of any strategic cooperation is not to perpetuate any long term confrontation with Iran, or to even marginalize Iran."

Obama said that a Gulf partners agreed that a comprehensive verifiable nuclear deal with Iran was the right path
