This is CBS Eye on the World.

Here's John Batchelor.

The State Department.

The nominee is a very well-known senator from Florida.

Mr. Rubio.

What is to be done?

I welcome Mary Kissel, a veteran of the State Department for the first Trump term,

Mike Pompeo and the Secretary of Chair. However, the challenges are remarkably the same after four years of Mr. Biden's

contrary understanding of international relations.

The word appeasement is not appropriate.

I'll just say accommodating adversaries and pretty much ignoring or bossing around allies.

We're going to concentrate on the good parts, which is what

is to be done. Mary, a very good evening to you. I begin with Iran because it's the uncongered

trouble, at least since Jimmy Carter's time, if not before. And Mr. Carter's passing gives us a moment to reflect on what hasn't worked these many decades.

Iran is a rogue state.

It also is a predator state.

However, its economy has now collapsed to the point that it's impossible to believe it could make a comeback.

The last quote I had was

801 or 802,000 reals to the dollar. 800,000 reals. The money is worthless. The regime has

lost credibility. It's lost the war. All of its so-called stooges, the octopus arms, have been defeated or are on their

way to defeat.

They're qualified.
