Iran Reaches Out to CIA, Trump Rejects Talks

0:00On March 4th, Iran made indirect contact with the CIA through another country spy agency just a day after attacks began, signaling interest in talks. With President Trump, even as Tehran publicly rejects negotiations, U.S. officials doubt either side is ready for talks anytime soon, while Israeli leaders push America to brush off the move and keep up the pressure too. Week in Iran's military, Trump shut down the idea on Tuesday, saying it's too late and noting that many potential Iranian contacts have been killed in the strikes. The big question now is what leadership may rise in Iran if the current regime falters, with Trump shifting from hopes of a popular uprising to A. More practical model, like recent changes in Venezuela. Strikes continue, including a hit on clerics picking a successor to the late supreme leader. Ayatollah, Ayatollah, Ali Khamenei, and CIA reports show high. Concerned the about any post-conflict outcomes.
