Might Republican aggression and overreach work in favor of an agreement with Iran?

What would you do if you were Iran?
If I were Iran and saw my window of opportunity for a nuclear agreement slipping away with the rise of a new wave of anti-Iran war mongering Republican insanity in America, I would certainly be motivated to achieve a solid agreement with Obama tout de suite.
Is this Republican Congressional revolt drama actually strategy? Even if not an intentional good cop/bad cop ploy, it seems that there is a chance
it might actually work in favor of getting an agreement.

Mind you, there was a certain foreign leader (one you don't really like very much) that thinks your nation should be turned into a giant GLASS BOWL - talking to the EXACT same people in their house of government just last week! THAT is current in your brain, so these 47 leaders in government defy their own leader to send you a...what? A threat? Some advice?

Why wouldn't they go through normal channels and inform the ambassador and then MAKE A VISIT to the embassy and them MAKE A VISIT to the Iranian leadership? Why usurp their own leader with a strange letter that sounds threatening and written by somebody that is possibly unstable? Is it all a ploy? Sure seems like it.

Okay, so now the leader is trying to negotiate something with me, but gosh I am a little worried about if his fellow leaders in their house of government aren't just going to work against me anyway. Why make a deal with the leader if the others are just going to make sure it fails. Sadly, I send their leader home and worry about the stability of their country.

Then I go get lunch.
