Letter exchanges, tweets and a phone call - all signs that things are warming up between Iran and the United States. On Tuesday at the United Nations Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, warned the U.S. and others against what he sees as Iran's charm offensive. Ehud Barak shares those suspicions and the belief that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons program - despite that country's insistence that its nuclear ambitions are peaceful. Ehud Barak was Israel's Prime Minister between 1991 and 2001. Brent spoke to him from Vancouver where he was due to speak to the Bon Mot Book Club.
