iran. since there is no much agreement on that question it isn't interesting. the more interesting question and i think from a foreign policy perspective is what happens if diplomacy fails? if diplomacy fails to stop iran from nuclear weapons, are we prepared to live with the issues that could come? if not, are we prepared to stop them? the argument i have been making is we should try to solve it through diplomacy but if that fails we should conduct a limited strike on iran's key nuclear facilities. to name the book, the argument is if diplomacy fails, there will come a time to attack. the second thing the book is not is controversial. or at least in my view this argument isn't controversial rather it states how to deal with the challenge. obama has said a nuclear iran is not acceptable and the united states will do whatever it takes, including military action, to stop the use. so i don't believe the argument is controversial. there was a point when it was. in 2010 i worked as an advisor on

as well as iran. does iran i believe iran has an opt out system?em. what he's talking about is that when you die, are you considered like communal property or is it assume that you're going to donate? if you don't want to donate you have to call or e-mail a registry this is you do not want to be a donor ahead of time. there are softer provisions and harder provisions. soft provision would allow your families still to say no. hard provisions would say it you have said nothing about organ donation, your family can't stop it. my problem with it is i think kind of goes against the grain of what americans believe. they believe they kind of are in control of their own fate and own bodies and they like the idea of their families deciding if they haven't decided. but that aside, that the site, it would only increase the number of organs by maybe 10,000. i think through living donations we could solve the organ shortage. and the reason, you know, maybe not with just getting rid of the disincentive but that's something, people would ask them is that what the

it has crippled iran's economy. the current negotiations are a continual exercise of trust between the parties involved. trust that iran said today's were transparent in the other signatories could keep their word. given the "in-depth" nature what happens they've failed to produce the agreement desired. they have ruled out action is as bad if not worse as every and mtv a nuclear weapon in. what r&d alternatives? matthew kroenig author of "a time to attack" the looming iranian nuclear threat" challenges the assumption the military strike is out of the question as well as other wisdom related to the every and nuclear program. military action should not be started as an option. matthew kroenig in nuclear proliferation and specialist internationally recognized authority on the iran program his work as a researcher and teacher of various universities of the united states. before accepting his fellowship in 2010. he became an advisor on iran policy through the secretary of defense at the pentagon and in 2011 his previous

well, the same thing in iran.s and has wealthy areas, it has big cities and it has small villages, and the big cities that are rich are the ones who have the best program, and in particular, it's -- i was very, very impressed with the programs there. there is horrible data from karamansha, the doctor did interviews 20 years ago when iran hadn't really started regulating it yet. so it was kind of what they call a gray market at the time, and those donors felt horrible about what they had again through. the money they were given hadn't solved their problems, they were still poor. there was no control of their aftercare. well, iran learn from its early mistakes and so over 30 years, while we were improving our deceased organ donation program, they were experimenting from region to region and over time with how to improve their living donor program. so, i suggest that there's a lot more we can learn from places tehran and nothing to learn from -- but that's not unexpected. if you want to see a shining, efficient, canc

the six powers want iran to dramatically cut back its nuclear work while iran wants them to eliminate devastating economic sanctions. where are the talks at the moment? what are the chances we will see a real resolution come out of this meeting? >> talks between iran and the p5 plus one group are taking place in the austrian capital. this is aimed at hammering out a first draft of the final, comprehensive, permanent deal. according to the irani and, -- the iranians, this is -- they agreed to scale back parts of its nuclear program in return for limited sanctions relief. that expires on july 20. that's the date all the parties are working towards. there have been some compromises on the key disputes, such as the heavywater reactor, which is capable of yielding material for a nuclear bomb. however, there are some sticking points. to shed light on that, we have on the phone the spokesman for iran's atomic agency. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you very much for joining us today. the iaea said on tuesday that more work is required by tehran to fully i

stuff in terms of trying to prevent iran from having a nuclear bomb but also iran's deep wish to endons which we heard today reported in the guardian, that iranians are at a breaking point. >> almost, yeah. >> the sanctions they are enduring from the u.s. and eu have been so devastating. >> this is about getting to first step, which is remarkably quick, a matter of i think eight weeks we got an interim deal which prevented any further kind of conflict with iran. and this -- this self-imposed deadline of july 20th is to get a final deal and the final deal is important, once it is signed and assumptions both on the american side and iranian side not only will sanctions be lifted for iran, but they will no longer be talking about the nuclear issue. that disappears from the dialogue we have. there are other issues u.s. will want to solve with iran and they will need to move on to those but this deal is going to be very complicated. once this is signed after 15 years of talking about nukes in iran it's over. it's going to be complex. >> speak to the leverage. because the simplistic formul

for iran, it was just another example of technological advancement. faced by military threats, people took it as a... an issue of national pride. >> kroft: scientific accomplishments are a huge part of iran's self-image. in spite of its isolation, it has launched a satellite and cloned a goat. just a few days ago, the ayatollah unveiled iran's own copy of a u.s. surveillance drone. but, for whatever it's worth, no one we talked to in tehran believes the country wants to build a nuclear bomb. how do they feel about nuclear weapons? >> ( translated ): there are no nuclear weapons. nuclear weapons are forbidden. >> kroft: they say it's all spelled-out on the ayatollah's website. but there's no shortage of skeptics, which include israel, saudi arabia, and members of congress who would like very much to scuttle any deal. this is a tricky negotiation. >> nahavandian: yes. >> kroft: there is some political risk involved on both sides. >> nahavandian: you are exactly right on that. because, for all these long years of distance and not having a positive and co

>> well, they stated that iran expects all sanctions to be lifted by july.ter claimed no country should pose any limitation to the quantity of oil, crude oil iran is exporting. other demands are unsettled access to the international banking system from which iran is particularly, has been particular to in the last couple of years and it's a set of clear economic measures that iran wants to be implemented straight away and the crisis group says it could take 5-7 years for the measures to be i'm med fully and there is a clear disconnect between what iran wants and inspires and what realistically it could obtain from the courts. >> do you think they can reach an an accord by july? >> well, it will go down to the wire. i don't think this round of negotiations could inch closer to it. of course the big thorn remains uranium enrichment and can see if there is political and technical ability by both sides to reach accord on this issue by july. however, the iranian side has been saying for months that the process could extend well beyond july. and they said recently

it's iran itself. stand by.taking a good share of the credit in recent days for the tough sanctions on iran. but josh rogan wrote hillary clinton resisted those tough measures. josh is here with jim and me. tell us what you're reporting. >> right. hillary clinton raised eyebrows when she took credit for the crippling sanctions that brought iran to the negotiating table. lawmakers were quick to point out that the white house and treasury department worked hard to dilute those sanctions for four years that hillary clinton led the state department. state department had its own view on how sanctions could be i believe pleamented. looking back it's hard for hillary clinton to take credit for the most crippling of the sanctions. >> she took credit in a major speech. but the real initiative for those sanctions, really emanated from accommodation. they faced resistance from the obama administration. >> bitter resistance. we see this to this day. there are efforts in congress to push for more sanctions against iran espec

now now the negotiations have given iran a lot of breathing space, and we have seen iran using the breathing space to try to sign deals like this one, or sign oil deals also perhaps with russia or with others, and so far the iranians have made pretty good user -- good use of this and the key is to make sure this isn't dragged on into the future. >> one of the founder's've rock's biggest band now emprovides in mass -- embroiled in a massive laws. this after a train crash that killed an actor in a movie about the rock star's life. >>> he searchers put out new lists of the richest actors in all the world, and you might be surprised to made it to the very top spot. not a movie star but is filthy rich. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specif

america, the u.s., i think, is very reluctant to get iran involved. it's certainly blocked iran being involved earlier on in the year when we had the international conference. this is where things get interesting because this is now going to start getting intertwined, i think, with the talks going on vienna, the nuclear taukz which are supposed to come up with a nuclear deal between the international community and iran by july. i don't think that the u.s. is likely to bring iran into syria as a possible peace broker until that deal's being done. as often is the case in the middle east, several things are getting intertwined with one another. >> james can while we are waiting, in the hope that there will be some kind of political traction, the war continues unabated on the ground in syria, itself >> reporter: yeah. no one thought it would go on this long. it's much longer than anyone had feared, anyone's worse guess and the blood shed continues to mount, a particularly shocking report from the human rights organization just released. >> a blatant breac
