The carrots are a stable Iraq, friendly to Iran, and subject to Iranian influence, although by no means a client state, and a deescalation in American efforts to destablize and deligitimize the regime in Teheran. The sticks are largely the reverse, ie civil war in Iraq, increased restiveness on the part of minorities in Iran, and continued hostility from Washington.

To me, that sounds like not enough carrots to make a salad, too few sticks for a bonfire.
