Row in Whitehall over Iran Policy?

Tony Blair gives a speech where he wants to befriend Iran in order to get their help over Iraq. The main bargaining point from Iranīs point of view will be to back off and stop complaining about their nuclear programme which is still expanding.

Is it, then, a coincidence that, at the same time, that the security services reveal both that Iran is grooming and putting in place Teheran supporters as leading members of Al Qaeda, and that Al Qaeda is planning and determined to launch a nuclear attack on the UK?

If so, would bargaining to get Teheranīs help be either or both futile and an even greater mistake than any we have made so far?
