There's a lack of knowledge about Iran and the Iranian people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not an Iran expert.
Inside Iran, people are actually quite well-educated about America. There are things they don't understand, particularly in the government, but the people, by and large, know the American sensibility quite well, and the reverse is not true.
I think first of all that Iran is a problem for the whole world.
I did not know many of the details relevant to the Iran and contra initiatives.
Fundamentally, we have to recognize that Iran is not a partner.
Iran is isolating itself from the rest of the world.
The international community is unwilling to accept the policies of the Iranian regime.
Iran is the base of an axis of evil which is a problem for all the world.
The intelligence community does not have complete 'eyes on' the totality of the Iranian nuclear program, nor can it guarantee that we have identified all of Iran's nuclear facilities and processes.
It's the governments that create the problems. People are fun; people get along. People in Iran really love Americans. There is no problem between us.
