“As the Mideast grows increasingly chaotic, it’s smarter to increase stability, not reduce it. A deal with Iran is better than no deal,” wrote Brzezinski, who served as a national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter during the 1970s.

Representatives from Iran and the P5+1 international mediators — the US, Russia, China, Britain, France, and Germany — are engaged in intense negotiations in Vienna to clinch a long overdue agreement with Tehran over its nuclear program, Iran’s Press TV reported on Monday.
The two sides extended their self-imposed end-of-June deadline for a comprehensive deal to July 7.
"Over the past few days we have in fact made genuine progress, but I want to be absolutely clear with everybody we are not yet where we need to be on several of the most difficult issues," Kerry told reporters in the Austrian capital.
"At this point negotiations could go either way," he said.
"If hard choices get made in the next couple of days and made quickly we could get an agreement this week. But if they are not made, we will not," Press TV quoted him as saying.
