take us inside the iaea. read between the lines for us. what is -- does he mean? on its face, plain and simple or is that a strategy to try and get more information? >> well, we should be very happy that el baradei's term is -- as director general is just about to end. because, for the past 7 or 8 years, he has been in effect a propagandaist for the iranian regime and the iaea itself, weapons inspectors an nuclear inspectors and very professional and do a fine job at what they do but el baradei covered up for iran, has rewritten their reports, has done everything he can to prevent the united states and others from really confronting iran, with the facts about their programs. so, the latest statement from el baradei is just a swan song, and thank goodness he'll be gone by the end of the year and then, i think we'll get much better access to the professional inspectors at the iaea, who can really tell us what they know about iran's program. >> jamie: if allowed access. we sure hope so, ambassador bolten, always an honor to talk to you, thanks for being here today wi

you once worked for the iaea. no one knows better, really. you know what we've been dealing with to try to get iran to be fortright and honest. that certainly hasn't been the case. the iaea is reporting iran has information it needs to build a nuclear bomb. what does this mean for the u.s. and our troops stationed in that part of the world, on the border nation of iraq and afghanistan. >> the information has been around for a while. what we're seeing for the first time and what you and i are seeing is this all spelled out in black and white in an official iaea document which is circulating internally. it really hasn't been made public yet. it's very scary in terms of the kind of work they've been doing on this nuclear device. the details they've been working on, at least as late as 2003, maybe not so much recently, and i think all the neighbors states are very nervous as is the united states. >> tehran has already tested an implosion device successfully. they designed it to fit atop a missile which could actually hit the middle east and europ

and the head of the iaea, dr.baradei was in iran this morning, and announcing his agency's inspectors will on october 25th, be admitted inside the underground uranium enrichment site, near the holy city of qum iran kept secret until last week and em brady who won the nobel peace prize in '05 but who conservatives see as too deferential to the iranian regime said the iaea has no concrete proof, that there is an ongoing nuclear weapons program in iran, however the iaea draft report cites iran's work on high explosives, testing and the redesign of a missile reentry vehicle so it can accommodate a nuclear warhead an iran's decision to admit inspectors into the qum facility followed high level talks in geneva attended by diplomat by the u.n. security council states, germany and the european union and the president's national security advisor side-stepped a question about whether the iaea draft report, suggesting iranians know how to build a nuclear weapon is accurate. >> whether they know how to do it or not, is, you k

. >> this draft report is compiled by nuclear experts at the atomic energy agency or iaea. the head of that agency is in iran this morning and has announced plans for his agency's inspectors to visit on october 25th, the underground enrich am site that iran kept secret until just last wreak. the exposure of that site is what led the experts to conclude that iran has sufficient information to design and produce a workable nuclear weapon. the report sites iran's work on high explosives testing and reentry vehicles so it can accommodate a nuclear warhead. they say it's for civilian energy purposes. it's a week longer than the deadline set by president obama prompting some analysts to wonder whether the additional week will enable iranians to sanitize evidence there. jim jones was asked today if the u.s. can effectively monitor any such efforts of concealment between now and october 25th. general jones replies generally yes but he went on to say i think there's no substitute for inspections and verification and the fact iran came to the table and seemingly showed some degree of

he has my full support and the iranian government must grant the iaea full access to the site. secondly, iran must take concrete steps to build confidence that is nuke cheer program will serve peaceful purposes, steps that meet iran's obligations under multiple u.n. security council resolutions. the iaea proposal that was agreed to in principle today with regard to the tehran research reactor is a confidence-building step that is consistent with that objective, provided that it transfers iran's low-enriched uranium to a third country for fuel fabrication. as i have said before, we support iran's right to peaceful nuclear power. taking the step of transferring its low-enriched uranium to a third country would be step toward building confidence that iran's program is, in fact, peaceful. going forward, we expect to see swift action. we are committed to serious and meaningful engagement but we are not interested in talking for the sake of talking. if iran does not take steps in the near future to live ups to the obligations, then the united states will not continue to negotiate ind

i don't see why the iaea inspectors in tehran now don't drive to this new site, it is an hour's drive and have a look at it now. iran has promised to allow them to go there within the next few weeks. why shouldn't they go there now? why should we wait so everything is sanitized. >> o' >> paul: what about the willingness of iran to take uranium some which they've enriched, this is the fuel that could be used to make a nuclear weapon and move about 75% outside of iran to russia or france? isn't that a concession? >> not at all that was also an idea put in by mr. putin of russia, about three years ago. the issue is that the u.n. asked iran not to enrich uranium. it is like haggling in a carpet bizarre as long as you buy the main carpet they give you caviar, tea, a little rug. they will kiss you on both cheeks and so on. but the rug, you have bought it. the rug that mr. obama has bought is iran's right to continue to enrich uranium >> paul: your conclusion would be that iranian leaders have no intense of giving up their nuclear weapons program? >> absolutely not. to be honest they say the

i've been in close touch with the head of the iaea, muhammed al barida. second, iran must take concrete steps to build confidence that its nuclear program will serve peaceful purposes, steps that meets iran's obligations under multiple u.n. security council resolutions. the iaea proposal that was agreed to in principle today, with regard to the tehran research reactor, is a confidence-building step that is consistent with that objective, provided that it transfers iran's loan-enriched uranium to a third country. we support iran's right to peaceful nuclear power. taking the step of transferring its low enriched uranium to a third country would be a step towards building confidence that iran's program is, in fact, peaceful. going forward, we expect to see swift action. we are committed to serious and meaningful engagement, but we are not interested in talking for the sake of talking. if iran does not take steps in the near future to live up to its obligations, then the united states will not continue to negotiate indefinitely, and we are prepared to move to

the iaea director today confirmed that on october 25, the reactor will be open to iaea inspections. we will look and see if those steps are indeed serious. if not, we are on a two-track posture. >> you talk about the engagement with iran. most americans think about the hostage crisis back in 1979. if i interview you a year from now, what would you like to be able to say about the u.s. relationship with iran? >> i would like to say that we are on track to conclusively prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapons capacity. you know, we've had many years, david, adrapt where we've refused to engage in negotiations. they have pursued their enrichment program unabated and we haven't been able to put in tougher sanctions. we have unity among the p-5. >> what's the relationship the u.s. would like to have with iran? >> well, obviously, the optimal outcome is an iran without nuclear weapons. that is peacefully integrated into the international community that no longer poses a threat to its neighbors, no longer supports terrorisms, treats its people with respect, and allows them to particip

weapons inspector who played cat and mouse with saddam hussein for so many, what would the iaea inspectors have to do when they go in this month when they come in, what would they be looking for? >> you don't want to be a tourist and led around a facility. you need to see a diagram, the construction diagrams and how it was built and what needs to be put in and you need tee talk to the architects and engineers and see all the documents about the centrifuges and you need to see where the centrifuges were manufactured and going to and you really need to be able to physically sample and map out the place. it has to be not a tourist inspection, it has to be a serious inspection. >> if they don't live up to all of those standards, should the u.s. and the other rest of the country proceed down this road? i mean, is that where the rubber meets the road? >> i don't know what down this road means. should you continue talks with the iranians, i think you should, but realize the limitations of where you're going to get. now is the time to educate the iranians on the serious steps that lie ahead if the

. >> what we reported this morning is that in an internal document that the iaea staff has composed but what the overall structure is not issued or approved, the experts working on on the staff there have concluded that rap has gathered all the information it needs, all the designs it needs to be able to actually design a weapon. as we've discussed here before, designing it is just one part. another part is learning how it make the fuel, they've learned how to do that. and of course delivering it on a missile on the other part. this are caveats in the report, including the fact that they've gotten some information from intelligence agencies in the west that they haven't fully confirmed, but they seem pretty confident in their understanding of what the iranians now know how to do. >> so that is why there is not unanimous agreements. and how much does that muddy the next step and what the u.s. decides to do in reaction to this? >> it doesn't muddy the next step as much as it makes it agent longer and more complicated. it's no longer enough to go in and simply inspect the main enrichment s

the iaea director today confirmed on october 25th the reactor will be opened to iaea inspections. they said that they will come back to inspections in october. we will see whether those steps are indeed fulfilled and if that ll fulfill them, obviously we are in a two-track posture and we have it before us. >> you're talking about engagement with iran. most americans when they think about engagement with iran, they is wha they think about. they think about the hostage crisis in 1979 if i interview in a year from now what would you like to say? >> that we are on track to conclusivelily prevent iran from having nuclear capacity. we have refused to engage in negotiations and the iranians have pursued their enrichment program unabated and we are in a different place now. we have unity among the p5. >> but the question i have is what the is relationship that the u.s. uld like to have with iran? >> well, obviously is iran without nuclear outcomes and peacefully integrated that no longer pose as threat to the neighbors and treats it is people with respect and allows them to participate pe

i don't see why the iaea inspectors, who are in tehran now don't drive to this new site an hour's drive and have a look now. iran has promised to allow them to go within the next few weeks. why shouldn't they go there now? why should we wait so that everything is sanitized there? >> paul: what about the willingness of iran they said they might be willing to do this, to take some of the uranium which they've enriched this is the fuel that could be used to make the nuclear weapon take that and move about 75% outside of iran, to russia or france? isn't that a concession? >> not at all. that was also an idea put in by mr. putin of russia three years ago. the issue is that the u.n. asked iran not to enrich uranium. it is like haggling in a carpet bizarre. as long as you buy the main carpet they give you some caviar, tea, i little rug, they will kiss you on both cheeks but the rug that mr. obama has bought is iran's right to continue to enrich uranium. >> paul: your conclusion would be that iranian leaders have no intention of giving up nuclear weapons program? >> absolutely not. to be honest

then you have the iaea inspectors saying he has no proof.o have others who say that he is definitely going for a warhead. gretchen: on its face, you would think america would know these types of details. >> we can see a hole in the ground where they could have buried a reactor. it is a facility that is actually supposed to be enriched uranium, which is more worrisome. however, there are no centrifuges in in right now, so there is just an empty building, which is what they want to inspect. brian: if israel was to attack, is it your sense that everyone would attack israel, or would they give a wink and a not, because they fear iran, too? >> some countries in the region are afraid of iran getting that technology. the egyptians are sunni muslims, iranians are not. that would be important. president obama, although he talked a great game, and even though everyone wants him to succeed, has not been delivering yet. gretchen: we need to have you back because that is an interesting topic. brian: i know you care about this. a 260-page bill. maybe pete

you saw a front page story in the new york times about a secret up until now iaea report that iran is close and has the data to make a nuclear bomb. you look at that, which is much further down the road than the u.s. intelligence community has been pubcly, it's much closer to britain, also the israelis, but you start getting into a time table situation and wondering whether these talks are going to pay off or are really a stalling technique. that's something that congress is dealing with and may move forward on sanctions on its own. >> and the scary thing is that it feels like we've been down this road before. now a war strategy n afghanistan will be a thorny issue. general mcchrystal is the president's guy, but he's recommending more troops. not what the administration wanted to hear. will they let the military experts run the war or make key decisions from offices in washington? >> that is the question. because it is the essential decision for how the war in afghanistan moves forward. it is a cross roads. and how the president comes down on this very public risk between vice preside

and the iaea, although they said iran broke the law, also said there is no evidence they are pursuing such weapons. it is relief fervor being worked up. just thinking logically, or i should say there is a probability for iran to have the ambition to fire rockets anywhere -- israel or europe, would mean that they are suicidal and want to be invaded and destroyed as a country. so, what is the probability they will pursue such a suicidal path and that is the obvious outcome? guest: it is true that one of the first things that could happen in a war -- we saw this in the gulf war, would be a war of missiles. the main not being clear, but would still terrified. there would be tens of thousands of people in those cities to would be targeted. host: we're us by twitter, if mutually assured destruction was good enough for the u.s. and russia, i why russiaran seek to use the same strategy in their sphere of influence? guest: it implies a hair-trigger alert. each side has missiles aimed at each other -- that is not a stable situation. it was dangerous in the cold war. why would we want another ar
