ground. >> they are gaining more grouped. are you surprised by the support they get in mosul? >> to some point, yes. when i talked to friends in mossual. getting feedback from them on the latest developments, i began to understand the big pictures. for the past two years, the people of mosul have been under a lot of pressure from the nouri al-maliki government, and looked at as suspects. it is their cans to get rid of all of this, feeling that they are the owners or leaders of the city. i'm not saying that the insurgents will give them that. it's the reflection, the first momentary reaction in the first few days. later when they feel the insurgents can implement their own view of syria, it may happen again in mosul. it may change. now they are gaining ground and getting support from the people. >>> jim walsh joins us. how does syria factor into all of this? >> it factors in insofar as what you have is a mobile group of sunni extremists going from one conflict to a second to a third - whichever is promising. we are seeing them

nadar, what does iran have to gain or lose in this conflict? >> well, if i.s.i.l. takes over baghdad this would be a huge loss for iran. iran wants to make sure that the shia led government in baghdad which is friendly towards iran remains in power. and importantly, that the holy cities of najaf and car karbalae held. >> just as the u.s. does we share the same interest but could working together lead to a dangerous proposition? >> well, politics often makes strange bed fellows and in the middle east that is especially so. i think we have a very complicated relationship with iran that is a very pivotal moment, both what happens in iraq and more broadly the deadline to reach agreement at least in terms of the interim deal that was signed earlier, next month on the nuclear issue between the u.s. and iran. that is going to have to be worked out in the next few weeks. this situation may help spur agreement on the nuclear issue and on broader issues. on the other hand, it may just be a place where there can be limited cooperation between these two cubs and there may be d
