Ex-CIA agent: "The West should recognize Iran as nuclear power"

24 May 2006 [15:18] - TODAY.AZ
The USA should officially recognize Iran as a nuclear power and stop threatening the country, former CIA agent Robert Baer is quoted as saying by ATV TV-channel (Azerbaijani) citing Iranian sources.

Talking to Le Parisien newspaper (France), Baer called useless and illogical US affair and treats against Iran concerning its nuclear program. As the former CIA agent noted, the West should recognize Iran as a nuclear power.

According to Baer, possible use of force by the USA against Iran would be treated as "another aggression against Islam", which would bring about more unity of Muslims in their struggle against the US. Robert Baer stressed that a military action of the US against Iran would surely raise oil price up to $300-400 per barrel, REGNUM reports.
