The New York Times worsens ties between West and Iran

The New York Times has stirred up some controversy when it published as fact that there is proof Iran is developing nuclear weapons. The IAEA report, that was released last year, never stated that Iran's nuclear program had a military objective. Was this alleged error a deliberate attempt to raise tension between the West and Iran? Robert Naiman, policy director at Just Foreign Policy, joins us to look further into the matter.

I'm more scared of world police USA than Iran. the States have repeatedly bombed innocent people for the best part of a century without ever being held accountable for any of their crimes , they bang on about freedom democracy and nation building but all the is bomb the hell out of places build a giant embasy then leave the country in tatters

The New York times is owned by the zionists

@ParagonFour actually if u think about it iran is just an innocent country, i mean yea theres the civil rights problem but u need to note that its a third world country and social advancement only occurs with better technology at disposal. So given time civil rights problem will be resolved. But iran having trying to be advanced like the west is being constantly hindered by the west themselves. like the sanctions about the nuclear program.

The way you guys describe "the Zionist agenda" makes you look kinda nuts. These people haven't heard anything about this before. There is a huge amount of Jewish influence on both politics and the media in the US. The choice phrasing of many commenters implies an absurd over-exageration of that idea. For instance, many Jewish people oppose these zionists and their ideas. It's not like it's the Jews taking over any more than the neo-cons is Christians are taking over the US.

@ChicagoProdigy heres Years ago having the Kremlin thinking you you might have been bad. In this day and age I reckon you can substitute "Kremlin" with "American government"

How I wish I was a RT supporter

Then all I'd have to do is blame an Israeli

How I wish I was a RT reporter

Then the Kremlin would do my thinking for me

RT has come a long way finding beauties that have lots of brains as well. Martians would be impressed if they were still around.
