Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi joins Kim for an inside look at the latest Iranian negotiations, revealing what happened from the Iranian side after traveling with the delegation to Pakistan.

Iran wasn't prepared to give up nuclear power, among other things, but this might be the trigger for the Israelis to risk destroying their oil production facilities.
