Iran is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations and having a population of over 80 million and 40% is 25 years or younger, it's unlikely it's government would be a dictatorship. If there would be an Middle East country I had to travel, it would be Iran. I believe Iran is one of the most misunderstood countries in the world. Dr Zarif is a intelligent man and I liked this interview. Just hope the sanctions will end and I do not believe Iran is part the problem, but part of the solution. Sanctions hurt the people not the politicians.

Updated on Oct 16th 2017….1) Bush’s National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft pointed out in the 1999 book “A World Transformed”, co-authored with George H.W. Bush, when Iran’s Rafsanjani personally facilitated the release of the Lebanon hostages in late 1991, the Bush administration “didn’t do anything.” Goodwill, as it turns out, did not beget goodwill (In other words, Bush welched on a promise to Iran, and there goes the trust)……2)May 2nd 2003, Iran, through the Swiss Ambassador, presents the US State Dept. with a “Roadmap” to mending Iran/US relations. Everything for both sides was on the table to be negotiated. US Top State Dept. officials decided not to reply (Ignored) to Iran’s offer to normalize relations…..3) The downing of Iran Flight 655 in July 1988 by the US Navy…… 4) 1953 overthrow of their democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh complements of the CIA’s Operation Ajax.... 5)Multiple times sanctions place on Iran lead by the US…….6)November 2001, Iran assisted the USA (via the 6+2 meeting at the UN) in the taking of Kabul with a plan of freeing up the Northern Alliance. Iran’s plan succeed for the US to take Kabul from Taliban. Then in a January 29th 2002 speech George W Bush labels Iran a part of the “Axis of Evil” thus worsening relations….7)2017, Iran is found to be certified by the US government to be COMPLIENT with the multination nuclear agreement, yet more sanctions are imposed on Iran by the USA. JCPOA, noting that "according to Article 29, the US is committed to refrain from any policy intended to affect ‘the normalization of trade and economic relations with Iran.'' Also, President Donald Trump is reported to dissuaded other foreign leaders from doing business with Iran at the 2017 G20 summit, thus a violation of the agreement…….8) 2010 to 2012, Israeli Intelligence assassinates 5 Iranian scientist. Oct 2011, Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich supported "taking out [Iranian] scientists," and presidential candidate Rick Santorum called the killings "A wonderful thing”……..9)Four fairly recent wars just outside Iran’s borders, twice in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria…..10) Continued bad mouthing by the goons in the Trump administration……11)December 2011 US CIA Drone flying in Iran airspace then falls out of sky..….12) 2010 Cyberattack called “Stuxnet” on Iran by Israel and the US July 18th…..13) The US has up to 42 military installations surrounding Iran (My count, I could be wrong). I provided a link for a map to verify, or do your own search: www.juancole.com/2012/02/ring-of-iranian-bases-threatens-us.htmlthis does not count Israeli military or ships at sea in the area..…. Now who are the real terrorists? (As I study this, the list keeps getting bigger and bigger)…..14) US support of SADAM’S INVASION of Iran in Iran/Iraq war (Sadam used chemical weapons on Iran and no world condemnation)……..15)On March 14th, (2016) Iran announced that it will never pay the $10.5B that a U.S. court demanded it pay for the 9/11 attacks. The same Bill-Clinton-appointed judge who had ruled, on 29 September 2015, that Saudi Arabia has sovereign immunity for 9/11 and so can’t be sued for it, ruled recently, on March 9th that Iran doesn’t have sovereign immunity and fined Iran $10.5 billion to be paid to 9/11 victims and insurers; but, on March 14, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Iran won’t pay, because, as the Ministry’s spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari put it, "The ruling is ludicrous and absurd to the point that it makes a mockery of the principle of justice while [it] further tarnishes the US judiciary’s reputation.” Source: by Eric Zuesse March 16th 2016…… Yet they still cheer for US wrestlers when they came to Iran in Feb 2017 for a tournament. Now who are the real terrorists? (As I study this, the list keeps getting bigger)

[@princepouncer2729]

Well in Islam and amongst Muslims,language is very important and has grave implications if it articulates that there is another 'god' besides Allah, the One True God, (polytheism) which is the biggest sin in the sight of God. Even in jest, a Muslim whether practicing or not, never jokes like that ever. Muslims do not 'chill' when it comes to religion like Christians who have turned their religion into a joke. To even remotely suggest god-hood to any creation ( human animal, angel, jinn) is totally abhorrent and the biggest sin in Islam , and one which can make someone a non-Muslim automatically, unless he corrects himself ( catches himself in his error.

[@mbena7869]

Hassan Allahyari a monster? Don't think so. Im very familiar with the history of that region. I do know we toppled the Iranian democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mosaddeq, in 1953! We placed a monarchy that the Iranians removed after 27 years. Thats how the Khomeini came to power... and how we did the same for Iraq, and had them attack Iran. Many Americans do read. We also recognize why those countries don't trust us. As for human rights, I don't think that is a real issue for us, as stated in the interview. Some of our best allies have much worse Records! It is all about controlling the biggest energy sources in the World!

[@vino2230]

[@حسنالللهیاری]

M Ben A, how nice that you are familiar with Iranian history but there is a misunderstanding, the monster that I applied to is the criminal Islamic regime that occupied our country for 38 years and trying to wipe out our great history.

[@mbena7869]

Hassan Allahyari what history they are trying to wipe out? Do you prefer having the Shah as your king? Yes, democracy isnt that great, look what we have here in the US as a president! But it is still much better than monarchy? You should look to your neighboring countries and see how good it is? Did you see the Khomeinis funeral? I did see it on tv, and I don't think a very bad leader would've had that many people marching in the street and mourn him. Just saying! Iran maybe not the best country in the world, but under the current circumstances, they are doing much better than their neighboring countries. Any country that has been under siege for almost 40 years and still able to prosper and stand on it feet, to form a powerful country, is respectable country. I may not agree with their government on many issues, but I have to give this to them.

We need to pay attention to Mid-Easterners, especially Iranians, I believe, and Putin, to hear how sensibly they speak compared to Americans that have nothing but presumptions and their own vainglory. Zarif was right when he said America is not a cause. Are you a cause because you're an American, or are you a cause because you have formed a belief by your original thinking based upon provable facts? Notice how Rose assumes facts not in evidence about the chemical weapons in Syria, and refutes the American principle of innocence until prove of guilt by investigation. Zarif calls for an investigation; why would Rose steer away from it and presume Assad's guilt. What is to be feared from an international investigation - that it was a false flag attack? Rose is fruitcake that is out of his league contending with Zarif. He's beneath contempt.

Although he does get biased sometimes in some of his interviews (which is something inevitable from any individual), but overall he tries his best to be as objective as possible in understanding the arguments presented by the other(s). He's not like some other journalists who embody in their approaches already inset conspiracy oriented outlooks and opinionated worldviews. We definitely need more journalists like him for a better understanding of some of the most complex issues facing world politics today. It was an enlightening and highly informative interview. Thanks for sharing ~

I agree with you 100%

[@Marmullak_es]

I love the way he says CHARLIE 😁 Mr. Zarif is one of the best things that happend for Iran and I love his passion 😍

[@muskaanfatima4228]

Thanks Mr jawad zarif so intellectual

[@dustinnoftsier6400]

He's a very brilliant man. I just heard a interview with him last night and I'm listening to his interviews now. He makes alot of sense out of all this madness.

The deal is working fine in preventing Iran to enrich uranium which was the goal of the agreement. If you don't like the Iranian ballistic missile program, then initiate another diplomacy and try to make another deal, because it is a different agenda. Scraping the deal for different reason is ridiculous, and is yet another nail to the coffin of rationality in US diplomacy.

[@bahsazad8089]

Federico Mazandarani, Indeed from your incoherent comment, I can see that your brain was smashed on that incident!

[@bahsazad8089]

Frederic Mazandarani, First of all, take a chill pill before you comment. Your comment has nothing to do with what I wrote initially. Who talked about Anglo Saxon invasion of Iran, or Pahlavi regime actions, or whether Iran is a republic or not? Are you OK?! What’s the relationship of your claims with my argument?! Maybe you believe that because of Western nation’s hostility toward Iran, it should enrich uranium to the point of acquiring nuclear weapons? Well this is not what your Khamenei believes as he claims that nuclear weapons are banned or “haram” in Islam. So, if you are fond of nuclear weapons, start having your convincing argument with him, not me! Secondly, Iran is very willing to initiate diplomacy and normalize relations with western “anglo saxon” “colonial” countries and it is being expressed many times by Zarif and many other diplomats. In fact, it has been one of Iran’s main foreign policy goals. In other word, for many reasons Iran is in the dire situation that desperately needs relationship with “colonist Anglo Saxons”. Again, talk to your policy makers and ask them to change it! I think you know this much that we are not living in 15th century any more, right?!

Shhh u disgusting western ass kissing fool

[@hamishf2794]

Just wowwwwwwwww to zarif

[@AK-qg7mp]

10:15 some history lessons

[@MrGeneralPB]

...charlie rose ought to shut up more and start asking worthwhile questions without interrupting his guest in the middle of his answers

[@jambojam25]

That was really a slap on the face of western where he said their allies doesn't even have a ballot box n lecture others

[@catchconcepts2.079]

I never knew IRAN has such Ann intellectual foreign minister .. That's great!

[@zero-vn7np]

As an Iraqi I wish we had a great politician like Mr. Zarif not like the thieves and corrupted politician we have who were brought by the Americans after the invasion of Iraq in 2003

[@MrVishalsinha23]

someday i want such an intelligent person to represent India too, very impressive

[@Subuzgreatest]

That'll only happen when the RESERVATION SYSTEM is abolished.

[@worththewatch1517]

If it wasn't for Zarif, we wouldn't have had the deal now. This man had to negotiate the deal on both sides, on one side with the westerners in their language and on the other side, the hard-liners in Iran who are known not to want the deal in the first place

[@skiados7]

Mohammad Javad Zarif may be the best FM in the world today. The essence of what he says is correct. Regardless of the fact that one can question whether the Iranian government is truly representative of its people, Iranian people and culture as a whole is light years ahead of most of its neighbours, who unfortunately get the political and military support of the United States. I am convinced that Iran should be part of the effort to find solutions in the region, and not excluded, like immaturely the US government insists on.

[@mrmaaical8727]

Salute to Mr Zarif, he nailed, that’s what a man with mind control and balance looks like; you can’t even compare his level with Orange Clown US president. Thumbs Up to Iran...day after day Iran are getting more admirers.

[@God_is_Justice]

This guy speaks better English than George W Bush. hell everybody speaks better English than George W Bush, remember him? ;-) ;-)

[@musttydd8407]

I am not in to Iran policies but what a man is Mr. Javad wish we have politicians like him in my country

[@Elmira-s4w]

Which country is that?

[@arashkborzoo]

MASHALLAH, I feel immensely proud to have him as our foreign minister. I truly feel proud an Iranian whenever I hear him talk.

[@imatanyani]

The legend of his mouth preceeds him. I had heard about him and now I have seen and heard first hand. This country could not have asked a better top diplomat.

[@hjalmarschacht2559]

Dr. Zarif is a consummate diplomat and a credit to his country. The man TALKS SENSE, and we do well if we listen to him. It is amazing to me that people don't realize that Iran is a natural ally of the United States, whereas saudi Arabia is not.
