The United States has “no choice but to find a way to coexist” with Iran, said CIA Director John Brennan in 2007, according to a new leak by Wikileaks.
Wikileaks published Wednesday data the organization claimed it had obtained from an email account belonging to Brennan.
The group initially made the announcement in tweet, as an investigation was already under way by the FBI and Secret Service over the hack of Brennan’s account, claimed by an American pro-Palestinian teen earlier.

In one of the documents released, Brennan gives “recommendations to the next President (assuming office in Jan. 2009) on how to play the figures on the U.S.-Iranian Chessboard.”
Brennan starts the document by an analysis of Iran’s “impact” in the region.
“Iran will be a major player on the world stage in the decades ahead, and its actions and behavior will have a major and enduring impact on near- and long-term U.S. interests on a wide variety of regional and global issues,” Brennan said.
“The United States has no choice but to find a way to coexist–and to come to terms–with whatever government holds power in Tehran,” Brennan furthers said.
Dated November 18, 2007, the document was also filled with stale accusations against Iran with terrorism.
