But Washington has sent a top US diplomat to meet Iran's nuclear negotiators.
There is also talk of an American diplomatic representation in Tehran.
What is behind this apparent change of strategy?
Robert Baer is a former Middle East specialist with the CIA.
He says America is slowly facing up to the truth that Iran is a regional superpower.

  • Human accept all except the truth

  • concede I have just started watching the videos. But where the understandable hatred of USA by Iran starts is 1953. The US/UK overthrew a SECULAR Iranian democracy for oil. The democratically elected leader of that nascent democracy, which might have grown to be model for the muslim middle east, was the incorruptable, loveable eccentric, genius lawyer, wealthy and paid for all his gov expenses,Mohammad Mossadegh. search it for yourself: OPERATION AJAX, National Security Archives, Blum, etc

  • love robert bear , most honest man ever

  • don't get mad at the interviewer, this is the point of the show, it's called hard talk, the interviewer is meant to be a douche bag, it's the style.

  • @abadani54 im a america. Im a 27 year old hungarian/irish male from Detroit Michigan. And I can tell you NO AMERICAN IVE TALKED TOO wants a war with Iran. We dont want no more war with anyone. I want the golden years to return where the world doesnt go to war for millinia. May peace be with Iran, America and Israel. I hope there are no more wars. And to my American government. Try friendly diplomacy instead of bombs and sanctions. The world will respecy you more and probaly be your friends
