Could Iran become a nuclear power and change the balance of power in the Middle East?

Have the United States and Iran blown their best chance of
striking a deal to stop Iran acquiring nuclear weapons in
exchange for a lifting of sanctions? And, is it now only a matter
of time before Iran becomes a nuclear power? The deadline for
talks has been extended, but Republicans take control of the US
Congress in January and with an election coming up in Iran, those
opposed to a deal will have more sway. Hardtalk speaks to Vali
Nasr, a Middle East expert who used be an adviser to President
Obama's administration. So what is Obama getting so wrong? And
could it mean that Iran ends up with nuclear weapons and changes
the balance of power in the Middle East?
