Iran 'has the upper hand' in final round of nuclear talks: Ex-CIA chief
2015-06-29
[Iran Press TV] Former CIA and NSA head Michael Hayden says Iran has "the upper hand" heading into final talks between the P5+1 group of countries and Tehran over its nuclear energy program.

"I would actually fear that the Iranians have the upper hand right now," Hayden said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday.

"I would hope this is not the final round of talks," added Hayden, former Director of the National Security Agency, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- Russia, China, La Belle France, Britannia and the US -- plus Germany are holding talks in Vienna to finalize the text of a possible historic deal over Tehran's nuclear program by the end of June.

#4  Methinks the current administration is hoping they'll convince the mullahs to become the new Mohammad Mosaddegh regime.

Mosaddegh was in power when ValJar's parents decided to move to Iran, btw.

#3   More likely, it'll end up being a disaster for the next administration to deal with. Such as some important or holy place out there being nuked. Nobody could have seen it coming.

#2  I hardly think Iran is going to become "a U.S. regional proxy."

At best, the Klingons, the WH, and the realpolitik community will get a semblance of the 'common interest relationship' they desire. More likely, it'll end up being a disaster for the next administration to deal with.

#1  All in accordance with regime and Klingon central planning as Iran becomes a U.S. regional proxy and the Bush legacy of ending the brutal Saddam era is rubbished. The nuclear talks are little more than a meaningless sideshow and diversion.
