Australia and Iran aim to team up against Islamic State

The Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop revealed early Sunday that dating back to October of 2014 Iran has been sharing secret information dealing with the Islamic State. As both have stated, they both see the spread of the Islamic State as a threat to global politics. Bishop and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani have pledged to focus on combating the Islamic State's spread in and around Iraq, this mainly involves an attempt to deradicalize propaganda currently being spread around the Middle East and the possibility of Iranian boots on the ground with Australian support. This lends very well to the prospect of open dialog between Iran and much of the rest of the world, including the current talks over their nuclear programs coming though lately. Overall prospects for an Iranian integrated world are very high now that they are opening up to countries that have typically been at odds with them to solve not just regional, but global problems
