iran well exactly this is the this is the point. iran wants nuclear weapons for various reasons. iran wants to be in to have a good morning in the region. nuclear weapons in the hands of a country means national dry scientific interest infrastructure or technological development. but also it's it's a government for this survival of the region why because we see the north korean example north korea has developed nuclear weapons and we assume they have nuclear weapons they even tried it with three test although they give not socks not succeed . because they were they know that if you have nuclear weapons. no one is messing up with you and this is the north korean. president and the iranians know it and they want to repeat it so yes diplomacy has failed with north korea but diplomacy is also failing with iran in your opinion do you think israel is trying to maneuver the united states to attack iran i wouldn't use the world maneuvering israel wants america to attack iran as a last resort when if diplomacy fails and you did failed so far even the sanctions are no where and at the end of th

would withdraw tomorrow if iran weaponized but i do have a strong concern about the impact that iran's weaponization will have on its region certainly if you take a look around iran there are already countries with nuclear weapons i don't think we would want more countries in addition to iran to have nuclear weapons so i certainly agree with charles on that point ok muhammadiyah i hope you were taking notes go ahead a lot said. well i i think it's obvious that anybody. that leads to human suffering in that which western countries pursue it is pathological just like drones killing innocent people without notice at the moment the united states for example is carrying out cyber attacks on sensitive installations terrorist attacks carried out in iran where scientists are murdered and of course the sanctions are in handed to. the economy. so and that is that means the intention is to make seventy five to eighty million people suffer but in any case a point that's very important here is that iran has never been in breach of the n.p.t. or the i.a.e.a. if iran has not obeyed u.n. security council resolution says because it is because those resolutions are in fact illegal

regime were constantly threatening iran with a military attack which is itself against international law the irony is that it is iran that is constantly being attacked it is iran against whom weapons of mass destruction have been used with the help of western countries chemical weapons and iran has never produced them during the war iran never produced or used chemical weapons the iranians have throughout this whole episode they have had the support of the nonaligned movement which consists of the majority of the countries of the world iran has always been in compliance and that is what the nonaligned movement has said as i said and also russia and china are not in they do not have the same views as the united states the russians have said repeatedly that the so have the chinese that the iranians the iranian nuclear program is peaceful and in fact you ronny and when the russians put forward a step by step proposal the iranians who are receptive to it the united states rejected it charles want to jump in there. peter i would just yeah go ahead i would point out just a couple points first of all. the notion that somehow the iranian program is a return on investm

iran should have. and has to be reasonable and has to have some relation to the number of nuclear reactors iran has. right now iran has one. it's not even functioning very well, and the fuel comes from russia. iran meets its been why it needs it is low-enriched uranium ultimately. >> companies don't also, the plutonium, plutonium route is completely unaddressed and what we are looking at with a 20% enriched uranium. over the long-term that's a very serious concern but we don't want to find ourselves in a situation with north korea, we took care of the plutonium problem we thought and left the uranium enrichment route open. we don't want to be office in the case of iran. the iraq facility has to be addressed and a long-term solution as well but i don't think it necessary has to be on the table for andrew confidence building thing. >> we say certainly nothing above 5% in the year 235 necessary for iran. -- into u-235. spent thank you very much. i wholeheartedly agree with your suggestion to explore the possibility of an official american presence in iran to an intersection or a variety of other bureaucratic possibil

if the syrian regime falls and iran has no influence in syria, it would dramatic affect iran's key ally in the region and that's hezbollah. iran would not be able to militarily physically supply hezbollah in the event of a conflict with israel. it would be difficult for iran to maintain the relationship with he hezbollah. the route to hezbollah could be cut off. the air routes could be potentially cut off. it would present a severe crisis for the islamic republicans foreign policy. and hezbollah right now is feeling a lot of pressure because of a support of the syrian regime. it's losing a lot of credibility on the arab street, if you will. the arab spring has also fundamentally shake the islamic republican foreign policy narrative. for years they are saying they support the average man and woman on the street in terms of what is -- support for autocratic arab regime. the regimes are falling apart. so what is the islamic republican resisting exactly in the region? mubarak has gone a sheem in yemen is gone. so broadly the arab spring is weakening iran's position toward -- in general. and also, iran 'own behavior that has lead t

iran. and iran is watching how the united states handle this is situation. so we have to be very, very -- i think very strong in what we do. >> eric: iran is violating the u.n. security council mandates on the uranium enrichments. so really, are they operating on parallel paths in the sense that maybe north korea's seeing what will come first? and iran taking lessons on what they will do with their nuclear program? >> i think that's my judgment. iran is funding north korean's operations here. they are using north korea as a test to see how the united states will react. the more we try to negotiate and say, if you will stop what you are doing, we will throw more money at you, which is what they have done in the past, that's a good sign to iran that we will placate them as well. if that happen, the same thing that happened to north korea will happen to iran. they tell detonate nuclear devices. >> eric: we have tough sanctions. the u.n. and the u.s. has imposed them, the economy has suffered because of that. that has not been enough? >> yeah, i think the sanctions are good. but the fact is, north korea's operating like an island, isolated on its own. the only c

iran to move i mean i think the u.s. and the soviet proxies for you know a bunch of years and so i don't i don't think that that would necessarily iran might try to do that i don't think it will work but it's far is why the danger of iran having nuclear weapon iran borders pakistan to you. if you were talking about india and pakistan going to other really round borders pakistan to where there's a bunch of. tribal or ethnic groups there and i mean there's a lot of potential for for clash there too so i just think that israel in iran's might not be a. nuclear ivery is pakistan india but i don't think it's something that we should welcome it might work out that it would stabilize the situation but i don't think we should take that risk ok gentlemen fascinating discussion we've run out of time many things that and i guess in washington and in philadelphia and thanks to our viewers for watching us here archy see you next time and remember. these. admission is free credit tastes three cents for charges free to make amends free risk free stuart chaifetz free. download free books can split video for your media projects a free media. tom. wealthy british scientists some time. markets why not i'm going to find out what's really

if the syrian regime falls and iran has no influence, this would dramatically affect iran's ally in the region and that is hezbollah. iranwould not be given to militarily physically supply hezbollah in that even if a conflict with israel. it would be difficult for iran to maintain its relationship with hezbollah. the routes would be cut off and could also be potentially cut off so this would present a severe crisis for the islamic republic foreign policy and hezbollah right now is feeling a lot of pressure because of its support of the regime and losing credibility on the arab street if you will. the spurring has also shaken the foreign policy narrowed for years the islamic republic was saying that it supports the average man and woman on the street in the face of what it terms to be imperialism and support for the autocratic arab regimes but those regimes are falling apart. so, what is the islamic republic in resisting in the region? mubarak has gone and yemen has gone so broadly the arab spring is weakening iran's position towards them in general. and also, it is iran's behavior that has led to a decline in their reput

that what i would say about iran and iran and korea that is really different is i think iran is is a leading power in the region where it is there's nobody who can really tell it to but to lay off of its policies and it also is a country which has seen its own people rise up and throw a government out in recent memory and and also rise up against the current government fairly impressively although it didn't achieve their goals so the government in iran has to be responsible to its own people on some level in korea you have a more of a medieval. equivalent of a medieval absolute monarchy and so what's going on in korea is is palace politics and i agree with zachary i think the united states would be one. as to what sort of close to fields the plane. i mean richard what happens if you get to the point of a war what happens if north korea does fail though. you can imagine some good scenarios you can imagine some bad scenario and probably some even worse than a chinese. right well the chinese can do well on what they consider their nightmare is that you know north korea collapses all the

iran, iran has made headlines for targeting our banks. recently. how can we police att that is merom all over the world? >> there are so many sources of them that you actually can't say i am going to focus on china or i am going to focus on iran and try to do something about it. even if you scare the government, they work through intermediaries and they claim they aren't controlling them. you have to build better defenses, and the federal government has been i am poe tent in establishing defenses and showing the way. if we're going to fix this problem it is not going to be by getting mad at china or iran. it will be making the system safer. >> making the system safer. is the government, the u.s. government prepared? is corporate america prepared to protect all of this? >> surprisingly, we actually know what to do, and the australian government has shown the way, but the u.s. has had a massive failure in leadership in this area. all they have to do is lead by example. if they show how to do it the way the australians are doing, business will follow them. as long as they don't protect the federal computers well it is hard to say thanks for telling us what to do when you don't know what to do yourself. >> how can we protect agai

iran and the iranians. western concerns about iran's nuclear ambitions go about two decades back. although iran claims the right under nonproliferation treaty to civil nuclear activities and nuclear technologies, including enrichment for non-weapons purposes, there are concerns about the where it is going. ts continued actions in enrichment contravene un security council resolutions, which have called for iran to suspend these activities. iran's actions over the last 15 years promote questions on how far it wants to go in the nuclear field. this includes it did not disclose its investment centers until they were revealed by others. it has an indictment program that appears to be inconsistent with a nuclear reactor, particularly when iran has a contract with russia. 'sere are questions about iran continued efforts to develop ballistic missiles, which is the preferred method for the delivery of a nuclear weapon. and there are questions about iranian work in a position of nuclear materials and its failure to work with the international atomic energy agency to explain these activities. the assessme

iran and never develop nuclear weapons. i want to examine what happens if iran develop nuclear weapons and how we should treat iran and what policies we should adopt. in terms of iran using this, it is correct. it projects power to deter some of these proxies'. i discussed this in my report. proxy is a term misnomer. when you look at these groups that are allied with has belote and some of the other groups, each have their own independent -- has belote and some of the other groups, each have their own independent objective. has the whole set of different. i would not use the term proxy. in terms of some of the other groups, we have very close discussions with table on -- tehran. are groups like hamas disappearing -- distancing himself from the arab spring. hamas still received military training from iran. indications are it is gravitating toward egypt and the muslim brotherhood rather than iran and syria. those are my main points. >> we could debate for the rest of the session. we have a really distinguished audience. i like to turn to our audience to see if perhaps there are some questions from our task force members? >> i

the nuclear program that iran talked about, like iran's destabilizing role in the middle east in supporting terrorist groups in iraq, lebanon? and other issues internally for iran, like its horrible human rights violations and democracy? >> in negotiations, it was first and negotiation with iran and then the possibility we get engaged with this negotiation had them. there are many other topics that we would like to talk to them. remember that iran was at the table in the agreements in afghanistan, in those negotiations, that iran was at the table. at a given moment, the bush administration was thinking about putting on afghanistan negotiations, but nothing having created the climate, appropriate on the nuclear issue, and other potential topics. >> the p5 plus 1 talks were created to address the nuclear issue. that was the primary focus in terms of what they would like the agenda to focus on. it is true the iranians have said we want at a much broader discussion, talk about syria, bahrain, and that has been resisted by the p5 plus 1 because we do not want to anxiety on the part of other countries in the region that we are negotiating some kind of regional arrang

iran. iran denies iran is operating inside its borders.couple hours ago, denied bail. police say they were monitoring the plot and there was never any danger. there are also new allegations today that syria's using chemical weapons against rebel forces. this time, the allegations coming from a top military intelligence official in israel. from beirut across the boarder in lebanon, mohammed, what is the israeli official saying? >> reporter: well, anderson, at a conference today, brigadier general, the head of the israel defense forces intelligence research department, he said that the syrian government had used chemical weapons several times in the past few months against syrian rebels and he said, in all likelihood, they had used sarin gas. now, the general went on to say, that they believe that one of the dates that sarin possibly was used was march 19th. they said they had seen evidence from that date to suggest that victims of the chemical attack, in his words, suffered the effects of those deadly agents used against them. now, we shoul

we face the question of iran. iran knows very well it has an opportunity this weekend. the iranian people are great people. they have a long history. many times longer than the united states of america. they have an ability to rejoin the community of nations to get out from under this isolation if they will choose this simple ways of proving, as other nations prove, that they have peaceful nuclear energy. it's that simple. it is not complicated. our hope is that that initiative can began in earnest this weekend where we will have a team prepared to negotiate and in the days ahead, we can reach another -- and understanding that will move us. trying with respect to the korean peninsula to make the world safer. that is what this is about. we have no ambitions there. i think they know that. we want to see a peaceful community of nations trading with each other, working to improve the lives of their citizens and that is in direct contrast to the north, which maintains glads, has thousands of political prisoners, tradespeople and the most inhumane way, -- tradespeople in the

iran. home to iran first nuclear power plant. iranfficials say the plant was not damaged but the quake devastated to near by villages. at least 37 people were killed. iran announced 3 days of mourning for victims of the quake. >>> senators recard do from long beach introduced the bill, it was a first legislation that would pun niche organizatio prohibiting members who are gay. >>> that's when a hacker calls 911 normally thro computer for a fake emergency through a different address. >>> >>> awe google fiber uses new pipelines to handle bits speed and is 100 faster than cable and satellite. it should be available in austin home in mid 2014. no words on how much customers have to paid but in which kansas city already have the service. >>> authorities of -- martha says report, this is not the first time that school has seen violence. >> police have in custody this lone star college student who they say is their only suspect and stabbing 14 people of the school houston area campus. >> everybody was out right in front of my classroom bleed

leaders and join five other world leaders and iran for talks on iran's nuclear program m joining me is ambassador dennis ross, an msnbc mid-east diplomacy analyst. ambassador, great to have you here. you are no stranger to the peace process and helped broker the '95 west barveg gaza strip between israel and palestine. in your estimation, what kind of impetus can kerry bring to the restart that former secretary of states have not been able to convey? >> well, i think we are clearly in a difficult time because there's such a high level of disbelief and even cynicism about the process. so i think merely trying to resume talks while it's an important objective, it may be even a more important objective to see if you can create a set of ground rules for those talks. which you don't want to do is resume the talks and then have them crash again. what you do want to do is try to

iran connection. but iran has been denying this as well, steve. so walk us through this. what kind of help specifically is canada saying iranffered these two men? >> reporter: well, it didn't get very specific, but as you said, they're very clear there was a connection. they didn't say what help was offered or how, but authorities do say no direct funding came from al-qaeda in iran. now, the iranians insisted today, once again, that there's no connection between tehran and al-qaeda. here's an english-language report from tv on what was said. >> however, the allegations were dismissed as canada's campaign to create attempts of an atmosphere of iran-phobia. >> reporter: in fact, the u.s. says there are some al-qaeda operatives in iran which the iranians have largely kept under house arrest. jenna? jenna: didn't bin laden's son-in-law, right, was recently in iran for several years before he left and was picked up by authorities just recently over the last couple months. so definitely more to that connection to be explored in the coming days and weeks. steve, thank you very much. it's a story we'll continue to watch. jon: so al

iran during the earthquake disasters, a few times. i have been in iran quite a bit. so i have extensive writing on irang research on iran, advising governments there. so i've had very extensive relationship with that country. jenna: why do you want this job? >> well, i think iran has become a major issue internationally, and anywhere i go i can see that everybody really is interested at what is at stake in a better iran. i believe i can make it happen. i think i'm in a position to make that country a bit better. and i think that everybody would like that to happen. i have been a peacemaker for almost 27 years in u.s. and iran and that is a major issue with the two countries. i am in a position to help there. i have never been a member of any political party or factions and therefore i am in a better position to bring them together, and finally, my job is economic development that is my phd and i teach at rutgers that particular field. iran did need someone that can manage that economy and understand the international economy and i think i am that person. jenna: elections in iran are different than ours

iran right now too with the sanctions? sounds like it's a problem with north korea, but you know what's going on in iran, what is china doing with iranna has been a country that has provided iran with parts and components for its nuclear program, for its ballistic missile program, state-owned chinese companies were years were assisting the iranians. now chinese middlemen are facilitating that proliferation-related trade. the chinese have resisted punishing sanctions from the u.n. security council, they've really tried to protect their iranian ally on whom they depend for a fairly large percentage of their oil imports. so i think, again, china's a problem in north korea, china's a problem in iran. the message to beijing has got to be you are helping other countries go nuclear, and if south korea and japan are going to go nuclear unless you solve the north korea problem, and saudi arabia and turkey and other middle eastern countries are going to go nuclear unless you solve the iranian problem. every one of these countries on a hair trigger and the potential for a nuclear holocaust. jenna: i have a quick final question for you, but we'r

iran? is he not serious about iran? he's drawn a red line on iran. respect his own red line on syria, there is no question that israel and iran will look at that and say, "well, we can't trust the guy." >> even if we cross the red line it's not clear we're going to do anything further. >> to go back to john's point-- he said it will be a game changer. why did he draw the red line without knowing what he was going to do next. >> schieffer: back to what clarissa said, the people in syria are wondering do we have a policy on syria? >> there is no discernible policy. i would say this is not only true eye cannot discern the white house's policy on syria, i have not for a while. but i am not sure of what the republican policy is, if you will. what's fascinating and troubling is that everybody agrees syria is a very dangerous place for the world right now. everybody sort of doesn't know what to do about it. they don't know what the strategy should be. and then they don't know what the tactics should be. beyond that, all this takes place wayne context of the

iran. >> iran cannot have and will not have a nuclear weapon. president obama doesn't bluff. he's made that very clear to me. and we hope the iranians will come back to the table with a very serious proposal. >> so as we understand it, iranrlier today that it had begun uranium mining after talks last week broke down. is iran a bigger nuclear threat right now than north korea? >> well, actually, north korea's farther along, farther advanced in its nuclear program so i would say north korea remains the more significant threat in the short intermediate term. long range, if iran were to get an actual nuclear weapon, it potentially changes the dynamic inside the middle east. so both are very troubling over the long run, but north korea actually has a more advanced capability right now than iran. >> former state department spokesman p.j. crowley. great to have you with me. i appreciate it. >>> the beyonce and jay-z cuban vaca crisis continues to escalate. wait until you hear this. republican senator marco rubio now wants the obama administration to explain why the couple were allowed to travel in havana for their five-year anniversary. rubio says the trip was used for propaganda purposes by the castro regime and may have been

iran iran has made headlines for targeting our banks recently. how can we police the attacks that come from all over the world? >> there are so many sources that you actually can't say i'm going to focus on china or i'm going to focus on iranomething about it because even if you scare the government they work through intermediaries and claim they aren't controlling them. so you have to build better defenses. and the federal government has been impotent in actually establishing defenses and showing the way. so if we're going to fix this problem, it's not going to be by getting mad at china or getting mad at iran. it's going to be by making our system safer. >> making our system safer, is the government the u.s. government prepared? is corporate america prepared to protect all this? >> surprisingly we actually know what to do. and tnment has shown the way. but the u.s. has had a massive failure in leadership in this area and all they have to do is lead by example. they show how to do it the way the australians are doing, business will follow them but as long as they don't protect federal computers well it's hard for banks to say to the federal government thank you for telling us what to do when you don't know what to do your

. >> and susan, kim of course having been raised in lebanon, knows all too well hezbollah means iran, iran war now as well. and assad, if he is gaining militarily, that changes the whole calculation for secretary kerry, talking about being more forward-leaning in what we are providing the rebels, he's just announced doubling the aid of nonlethal aid. >> and not to get engaged. the risks of engagement. the risks of not being engaged are both pretty serious. and we spoke yesterday at the george w. bush library dedication, it couldn't be far from his mind that the incident that defined bush's presidency and allowed his his own election. was the controversial decision to take action on iraq. >> and we're talking about exactly ten years ago, ten, 11 years ago when the debates were taken place, next week it will be ten years since the "mission accomplished" sign on the carrier. which the white house disclaimed any responsibility for. but it still had him standing under a sign that they could have taken down and we saw how many thousands of troops and contractors and civilians died after that may

iran is sticking to its guns. that demand so basically. they run against iran's sovereignty and iran's independence. both individuals and nations they are innocent until proven guilty the iranians. have been open to the i.a.e.a. the iranians actually halted nuclear enrichment enrichment for about two years they . allowed that this one of protocol to be implemented in iran for extra inspections and inside that you run. it in half to allow them into for those two years and there was no evidence at all ever found that iran's nuclear program was anything but peaceful. u.k. based business is set to make a one billion dollar investment in energy to buying a russian company that owns enough gas to fill nearly seven million olympic sized swimming pools and almost two hundred million tons of oil reserves the details for you right now at r.t. dot com. and he did his best to destabilize former venezuelan president hugo chavez and trip tip him out of power it's all spelled out in the original memo you can find on our website. dot com. bird flu panic is spreading across china and its neighboring countries many th

iran and syria. syria has relation with iran really, really deep. i heard somebody in syria tell me our relations with iran is deeper, even between two members of nato, so they really have a very intense relationship, and we felt solving that problem would be very difficult to get a negotiation moving. for iran, syria is a very important actor. for that, we need to get all the pressure possible with russia. russia is a player, can't get out of the situation in syria. but, remember, we have two problems which have linked iran and syria, and we have the p-5 together in one, iran and separated in the other, which is syria. we have a pretty bad situation. that is what i think we have in front of us. the other thing that i would like to mention, the third thing i'd like to mention is sanctions. sanctions has to review before the end of the summer, and, today, we have. able to put the top sanctions on iran that hit in their economy, but we still maintain the price of oil at 11 which is plausible, now, that is because the 4% of the barrel production that is acrylic is there, but imagine that for a moment the econ
