Former CIA and NSA Director General Michael Hayden has said he is OK with letting the six-month temporary deal on Iran's nuclear programme go forward.

Hayden however added that the leaders should be truthful that Iran's uranium enrichment has been accepted.

According to newsmax, Hayden told Fox News Sunday that the Iranians are far too close to a nuclear weapon, adding that the leaders have just hit the pause button.

He added that now the leaders have to negotiate hitting the delete button with them.

He said that at the end of the day, 'Iran's going to be a nuclear threshold state'.

The deal allows Iran to have uranium enriched to five percent. Previous U.N. resolutions have called for a complete dismantling of its nuclear programme and that all materials be shipped out of the country, the report added.
