Dearlove describes arriving at empty Libyan airbase and greeting two men in jeans to see Gaddafi.
“Well, eventually two guys in jeans turn up. So we open the door of the plane and say hi. No, literally we say hi, we're here to see Gaddafi.”
Dearlove suggests Iran may remain under Ayatollahs but become more compliant and willing to negotiate.
“One is you end up with an Iranian regime, which is still run by Ayatollahs, but is prepared to be more compliant and will negotiate with Americans and with the rest of the Middle East.”
