u.s. since 1979 also they tried to wring an end to the hostilities between iran and the u.s. again, americans also have failed. that's why one of the main issues in my week is the root causes -- in my book is the root causes of failures between iran and the u.s. for rapprochement during 30 years. it's about the mistrust, mutual mistrust, about misunderstandings, about misanalysis, about misperceptions, about miscalculations, and i have explained the detail and many events why iranians do not trust and cannot trust the u.s. why iranian supreme leader always is emphasizing that he cannot trust the u.s., the reasons, the mindset of the iranian leader, supreme leader, why and what is the reasons, the evidences, the facts. he cannot trust the u.s. interesting issue is despite the fact the leader does not the u.s. since his onset of his leadership, he has not prevented different administrations to make approach to u.s. and even during rafsanjani, i have explained during khomeini, ahmadinejad, and at the end he came to be correct because they all failed. but the main objective, actua

u.s. and iran. the purpose of the moment is to quarantine the talks around the sole issue of nuclear program and achieve agreement there. now if that should happen, one can imagine a situation where the u.s. and iran ceased being impeccable enemies and instead become intense rivals who may be able to cooperate on issues where competing national interests converge. the common analogy is being invoked are the u.s. and china and the u.s. and russia. that is why i used the word tantalizing at the outset. this relationship has been marked by deep and recurring distrust on both sides and the result has been a breakdown in relations between the united states and iran that has lasted longer than the breakdown between china and the u.s. today. building trust is elusive particularly if one side doesn't understand what the other side thinks and why it does. that is the value of this book. i can think of no better person to explain the iranian viewpoint to a western audience than seyed hossain mousavian who was

u.s. and iran and iraq. we talk about overlapping interest that the u.s. and iran have in iraq, and people will say that iran is opposed to sunni extremist groups. i am not sure that this is really right, that this is really an interest of iran per se. why do i say that? because we have seen plenty of support going from iraq to sunni extremist groups in the past, including from time to time in iraq itself. but the most telling example of this would be iranian support for hamas. the conflict right now in gaza, for example, is made possible by the fact that iran ships weapons to hamas, as well as the palestinian islamic jihad, both of which are sunni it stream is groups. we have also seen iranian support for sunni extremist groups in places like lebanon, alia, as well as even for qaeda and the taliban in a more limited way, which you would think would be enemies of iran and our innocence, but iran has rounded in hits interest to provide limited amounts of support to those groups from time to time. when it comes to this issue for the united states, the u.s. op

iran was the chief agent for promoting instability in iraq in an effort to drive u.s. forces out of iraq, which was an interest of iran's which shrank any assurance about the stability of iraq, even when it became clear that the united withdrawing-- was forces with iraq after president obama was elected. what we see from iran is not a diminution of their support for extremists and militants, but it increase in it. as u.s. troops were leaving, we saw an increase in iranian support for those extremist groups. for what reason, you'll have to ask the iranians, but perhaps the u.s. forces. there have been other times in the iran-iraq history were the stability of iraq was not iran's foremost concern. i think what we see instead from tehran is that what they most want to see in a iraq is a government which is friendly or sort of disposed towards iran, whatever that happens to mean. i do not think they have any particular interest in tomography or pluralism or on all the things we have talk about and that the ambassador talked about wanting to see in iraq. the american approac

if there is any possibility of cooperation between iran and the u.s. and syria first of all i believe we need to bring the regional powers to cooperation. my idea is r5 plus p5. p5, the five numbers at the u.n. security council plus five regional powers iran saudi arabia turkey iraq and egypt. they need to stick together to manage to find a solution for syria. second, they need to agree on some -- at once. we cannot rely on syrians. they are helpless. they cannot manage. they don't have any real united option to negotiate. the rule of majority, like free elections some principles i think iran regional powers can agree upon and then after agreeing on the principles then definitely there would be a transitional period. they would need first the refugees come back. they would be billions and billions of dollars of investment for humanitarian affairs. recently the refugees in syria and then go to a free election by the united nations. to make sure that this is a free election. and then whomever the syrian select go on to this country. >> adam thank you for

u.s. and iran and iraq. we talk about overlapping interest that the u.s. and iran have in iraq, and people will say that iran is opposed to sunni extremist groups. i am not sure that this is really right, that this is really an interest of iran per se. why do i say that? because we have seen plenty of support going from iraq to sunni extremist groups in the past, including from time to time in iraq itself. but the most telling example of this would be iranian support for hamas. the conflict right now in gaza, for example, is made possible by the fact that iran ships weapons to hamas, as well as the palestinian islamic jihad, both of which are sunni it stream is groups. we have also seen iranian support for sunni extremist groups in places like lebanon, alia, as well as even for qaeda and the taliban in a more limited way, which you would think would be enemies of iran and our innocence, but iran has rounded in hits interest to provide limited amounts of support to those groups from time to time. when it comes to this issue for the united states, the u.s. op

finally on this, why i think that u.s.-iran cooperation in iraq would be a negative thing, there is a moral dimension to e is a mue. they're is a moral complication to cooperating with the force like with a force like iran's revolutionary guards, which are the iranian sort of force would has responsibility in iranian assistance for iraq. a group that has been designated by the treasury department as supporting terrorism. we designated iran as a state sponsor of terror, and this is a group which has been responsible for a tremendous number of deaths of american servicemen in iraq and terrorist acts around the world. it is simply not, i think, in the united states' nature to cooperate with such a group, even if it is in pursuit of common goals. i am going to essentially rapid of their and simply say i do not think looking to iran will give us any answers in iraq. i think we need to, frankly, look forward in iraq. we honestly have a long history in iraq, a controversial history, that i think if we're going to help iraq to stabiliz

iran really want to see a nuclear deal. because dating back to the 1979 seizure of the u.s. embassy in iran, the hostage crisis, these hard-line in other words tehran have really manufactured and prolonged external crises for internal legitimacy, so this is also the big challenge of reaching a deal with these forces in iran which may seem, see it inimical to their interest of reaching a nuclear deal. >> i think karim put his hand exactly on the issue. he won't own a nuclear agreement. that's a signal he has made to his president and foreign minister, that he will not take ownership of an agreement that drastically reduces iran's nuclear capability. going forward that is the huge problem in terms of the negotiations. unless he changes his mind and thus far actually he hasn't. he establishes real lines in his speech in september when he said no nuclear facility will be shuttered and you will, no nuclear resources will be shipped out of the country for reprocessing and so forth. he has maintained those broad lines and imposed those on his negotiators, if he continues to do so, t

just again, on the topic of u.s.-iran cooperation, even if you posited that maybe i'm wrong and maybe there are these common interests, would we still want to see u.s.-iran cooperation? i think the answer is, no. first, let's think about the efficacy of iranian involvement in iraq. it's not clear from iran's experience in syria -- which i believe the ambassador will address -- -- iran has the able to defeat a group like eye is? -- in isis in away that stabilize the country. they haven't been able to do that in syria. in syria, you seal the assad government has managed to avoid collapse, managed to avoid being overthrown, which is perhaps in defiance of expectations given that we have heard for a long time now its collapse is inevitable. but it hasn't been able to recapture its own territory or extend its authority with syria, which is what we want to see the government baghdad do certainly. i'd say if we saw the same outcome in iraq, that we have seen in syria, where iran has been very world, we could consider that quite

u.s., barack obama has two major priorities. he wants to avert an iranian bomb. he wants to avert bombing iran. the challenge is not finding an agreement between president rouhani and the barack obama. the challenge is finding a document in which the u.s. congress and the iranian revolutionary guards can agree upon. both netanyahu and the iranian supreme leader can agree on. the challenge is finding a diagram in which iranian ideology, u.s. domestic politics, and israeli national security intersect. >> it is not simply that if you can find an agreement in which the u.s., whether the president, would be assured that they had signed an agreement that they would limit their capacity to break out. and if in fact the supreme leader signed on to that, you would have a deal. is it that simple? or do other people have to be involved in what is acceptable to them before they sign off? >> there is a major gap in the numbers. iran doesn't want to drive the current a reverse. they want to maintain what they have. in 7-10 years, they should have an industrial scale nuclear program. the u.s. wants iran to sig

>> i believe if there's a deal on the nuclear talks, the door is open for iran and the u.s. to cooperate on major crisis we have in the middle east, not limiting to iraq crisis. we have crisis in syria, we have crisis in afghanistan. and iran is a major regional power. the u.s. is major international power. they have many common interests for peace and stability in iraq and afghanistan, in syria. therefore, if we have a deal, definitely the door will be open for broader regional dialogue between iran and the u.s. >> so many issues between iran and u.s. for so many decades. let's home the talks are effective. thank you for joining us. >> time to see what is trending on the web. >> brave men and women are posing online for a good cause. the photos are getting a lot of love on social media. according to the national institutes of health a million men's are affected with chron's disease, making it difficult to deal with waste. part of the tract may have to be removed and colostomy bags may need to be worn. 23-year-old bethany is a make-up artist and former model and has chron's d

u.s. and iran and iraq. we talk about the supposed overlapping interests that the u.s. d iran have in iraq. people will say, well, iran is opposed to sunni extremist groups. i'm not sure this is really right, this is really an interest of iran's per se. why? because we have seen plenty of support from robb -- iran to sunni extremist groups, including from time to time in iraq itself. but the most sort of telling example would by iranian support of hamas. the conflict in gaza is made possible by the fact that iran ships weapons to hamas as well as to palestinian islamist jihad, sunni extremist groups. we have also seen irany support for sunni extremist groups in places like lebanon, syria, as well as even for in a more limited way for al qaeda and the taliban, which you think would be enemies of iran, and are enemies of iran in a sense. but iran has found it in its interests to provide limited amounts of support to those groups from time to time. when it comes to this issue for the united states, for the united states opposing isis is about many things, but one thing is a

u.s. wouldn't trust iran with industrial capability. but that's, i think, what the soup ream leader in iran -- supreme leader is talking about. that's a long-term plan, not something that iran wants right away, is industrial capability of producing that much uranium. the action - the bush air plant is going to be supplied by the russians with enough ukranian for seven years. the question will come after seven years, where does the uranium come from. that's when iran would be more interested getting guarantees from the united states. >> the iranians expressed willingness to form joint ventures with foreign countries. >> or have it in iran but supervised. it would be impossible for iran to produce the uranium, but to be supervised was not channelled to other uses but going to bush air. >> after almost so months of negotiation where do we stand. we stand where we started, except iran has given up its 20% enrichment uranium in exchange for $2 billion money from the u.s. became it's sold 20% for $2 billion. that's all they achoeffed. let's -

iran is believed to want a nuclear weapons program which is why the u.s. and others want them to dismantle much of their capacity. they are telling they the he are not -- me they are not prepared to do it. they should trust iran when it says it doesn't want a nuclear bomb. even if there is a deal, it might get one in ten days, the president has a problem at home in congress. congress is not of a mind to ease the sanctions on iran. iran is a state sponsor of terror. supporting the assad regime in syria. so i don't think congress on either side, republican or democrat, is interested in taking the foot off the pedal of sanctions and i think that becomes a political problem. >> john kerry has been busy lately trying to ease tensions in the middle east between israelis and palestinians. what's the impact? >> you'll hear from martin indyk who stepped down as middle east envoy telling me he does not think that a ground invasion is necessarily what is next. he thinks the israeli leadership is a little bit more reluctant to do that now because they're not sure what

commentary. >> tomorrow was the official deadline for iran to tell the world it would abandon its path to construction of a nuclear bomb. but late friday, the u.snnounced they had agreed to extend the talks in eenna, now six months old, for another four months. iran welcomes the delay. so this is a grave mistakes once again inspired by president obama's determination to rescue the foreign policy. the postponement of talks comes with a tasty benefit for iran. we've agreed to give tehran access to an additional $2.8 billion in oil export revenues that were frozen by american sanctions. the crux of the talks in eenna turns on the critical issue of iran's nuclear capability. how much uranium this state sponsor of terrorism should be allowed to process for nuclear weapons. iran insists its uranium enrichment is for peaceful means. and 11th hour proposal from iran suggested it wouldectively freeze nuclear fuel at the current level for a few years, but maintaining it the status quo is hardly a response to the west's insistence on a complete scale back. talking to iran has always been president obama's pet project since his first presidential campaign

depending on how u.s.-iran relations develop, america might be able to help them do this. but if the united states and iran remain enemies, the obvious alternative for the united states would to be accept the inevitablity of an expanded salafi dominated state that will replace much of the current political geography of the region. to work with saudi arabia to tame extremist tendencies within such a state and to yoke it to a regional coalition to balance iran as the iraq/u.s. intervention destroyed once did any and all of these approaches would demand a level of diplomatic sophistication, imagination and skill that the united states has not displayed in recent years. the more likely outcome of our current bland of baffled hesitancy, diplomatic ineptitude and militarism is, therefore, that the events will take their course. that means the growth of a credible extential threat to israel. perspective political explosion in egypt. the disintegration of iraq, jordan, lebanon and syria along with palestine and the diversion of a considerably part of the resources of these countrie
