Outgoing CIA head: It would be foolish to tear up nuke deal with Tehran

The outgoing head of the CIA, John Brennan, stated in an interview with the BBC on Wednesday that it would be the "height of folly" if the administration of President-elect Donald Trump renounces Washington's nuclear deal with Tehran. He claimed that such a step "would be disastrous" and spark a nuclear arms race in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf. DEBKAfile: Even with the accord, such a nuclear arms race is already underway.
