Interview with former CIA agent Robert Baer

Former CIA agent Robert Baer speaks with Kerry OBrien.
Mr Baer argues that the United States has Iran wrong and that a long-term détente has to be negotiated that recognises the reality of Irans dominance in the Middle East.

ROBERT BAER: ...the United States looks at the Middle East through Israel. And the Arabs and the Persians look at Israel as an outpost of the United States of the West. ...there's financial corruption in Washington. I mean, everywhere you go. I think we've seen that in Iraq with $120 billion which has disappeared of aid money. Money buys votes in Washington.
