So, you know, I talk to people who do tons of different things.
I mean, I talk to someone who like sells kind of semi-luxury coffee in Iran, like not at the coffee shop level, but the beans and the stuff, you know.
Well, this is his business, but it might sound ridiculous.
It's like, who looks for luxury coffee in the Mitzvah of Aram?
But this is how he works, and he has many workers.
This is their only job.
They have to be laid off.
What can they do?
Imagine someone has planned their wedding.
Can they get married now, thinking they might not have money to survive?
So it's a society in limbo and in...
This terrible feeling that they don't control their fate and they're in the midst of a crashing economy.
Honestly, so it's beyond politics, really.
It's a terrible feeling that they have.
Yeah.
I mean, that's why they're negotiating.
That's why they negotiate with Trump.
from the beginning.
Let's not forget, Trump's second term, the Iranian regime negotiated with him pretty willingly.
Even though Khamenei gave a speech saying we won't negotiate, they immediately after negotiated with him.
