'Engaging with the enemy': Iran's leader backs nuclear talks with long time adversary

STUART: SEE YOU AGAIN SOON. AS BENJAMIN REPORTED, NEXT MONTH, ZELENSKYY WILL PRESENT PRESIDENT BIDEN WITH HIS PLANS, QUOTE, END THE WAR WITH RUSSIA. WE ARE JOINED BY LIEUTENANT GENERAL KEITH KELLOGG. PART OF THE REPORT WE JUST HEARD WAS THAT ZELENSKYY WANTS PERMISSION FROM US TO USE AMERICAN LONG-RANGE WEAPONS INSIDE RUSSIA THAT WILL ALLOW HIM TO GO TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE NEXT YEAR. DO YOU AGREE? >> THANKS FOR HAVING ME. YOU FIGHT A WAR AGGRESSIVELY. IT WAS BOLD WHEN THEY WENT INTO THE REGION. IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE RUSSIANS. KURSK WAS THE SITE OF THE MOST MAJOR BATTLE THAT TURNED THE TIDE AGAINST THE GERMANS FOR THE RUSSIANS. THERE WAS A REAL REASON THEY DID IT. THEY MOVED INTO MANEUVER WARFARE, WHAT THEY SHOULD SAY TO THE UKRAINIANS AS WE WILL GIVE YOU MORE TO LEVEL THE BATTLEFIELD. YOU CAN'T JUST ALLOWING AGGRESSOR TO HAVE A SANCTUARY. RESTRICTIVE WEAPONS FOR THE UKRAINIANS WHO ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN. THERE ARE NO SANCTUARIES, THERE SHOULDN'T BE. THAT'S NOT HOW YOU FIGHT WARS. STUART: WHAT WEAPONS DO THEY WANT? >> WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT IS A LONGER-RANGE ATTACK. INCREASE RANGE FROM 150 MILES TO 300 MILES. THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO HAVE TO PUT THE ONUS ON THE RUSSIANS AND THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE THEM. . GIVING SUPPORT TO UKRAINIANS. THEY HAVEN'T ASKED FOR ANY NATO TROOPS BUT GIVEN THE WEAPONRY THEY HAVE, FIGHTING A BATTLE AGAINST SOVEREIGNTY AND WE SHOULD HELP THEM DO THAT. ZELENSKYY IS RIGHT, THIS DRIVES BOTH SIDES TO NEGOTIATION TABLE. THAT'S HOW THIS WAR WILL END. THIS WAR WON'T END WITH A MILITARY VICTORY BUT NEGOTIATIONS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WAR. STUART: A DIFFERENT THEATER. IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER HAS OPENED THE DOOR FOR RENEWED NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM. HE SAID THERE WAS, QUOTE, NO HARM IN ENGAGING WITH THE ENEMY. I THEY INTRIGUED? THAT'S THE FIRST TIME WE HEARD FROM THE SUPREME LEADER ABOUT WE WILL TALK. >> WITH THE ISRAELIS THEY REESTABLISHED DETERRENCE IN THE REGION. DETERRENCE IS BASED ON CREDIBILITY, THE CAPABILITY WHICH YOU GOTTA QUIT AND THE OTHER AS WELL, THE ISRAELIS HAVE SHOWN THE WILL TO STRIKE AGAINST IRAN, HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS AS WELL. THEY SET THE TABLE. THIS ALLOWS THE SUPREME LEADER TO SAY WE WANT TO GO TO THE NEGOTIATION AND DISCUSS NUCLEAR TALKS. THIS IS SEEING IS BELIEVING, THEY BRING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE. YOU SEEN A CHANGE, IT'S BEEN THREE WEEKS SINCE THAT ATTACK BY ISRAEL INTO TEHRAN THAT KILLED THE LEADER OF HAMAS. A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED WHAT THE ISRAELIS ARE GOING TO DO. THEY HAVE A DOCTRINE BASICALLY ESCALATION AND DOMINANCE WHERE YOU RESPOND QUITE FORCEFULLY ABOVE THE NORMS. IRANIANS NOW REALIZE THAT. STUART: IRANIAN LEADERSHIP WORRIED THAT THEY ASSASSINATED THEMSELVES, ARE THEY WORRIED ABOUT THAT? >> THEY SHOULD BE. WHAT THE ISRAELIS HAVE DONE IS SET THE STAGE WHICH AFTER MUNICH THEY SAID THERE IS NO BOUNDS. IF YOU LEAD AN ASSAULT ON ISRAEL WE WILL COME AFTER YOU. WE SAID THE SAME THING. DONALD TRUMP'S LAST STATE OF THE UNION, THE LAST PART OF THAT SPEECH, HE SAID IF YOU ATTACK AN AMERICAN YOUR LIFE IS FORFEIT. WE SAID THE SAME THING WHICH WE PROVED THAT WAS WHAT NETANYAHU IS SAYING IS YOU ARE ON THE TARGET LIST AS WELL. WE SAID THAT AFTER THEY WENT AFTER SOLEIMANI -- IN A RACK, WE SAID THE SAME THING TO THE SUPREME LEADER. KILL AN AMERICAN WE ARE COMING AFTER YOU. THAT'S A GOOD THING TO DO.
