They're getting worse by the day.

There are logistical problems in Iran.

tons of sectors, but that doesn't mean economy will collapse.

One of my favorite things about all of this is that we all use these different terms, like the weakening of the regime, the collapse of economy.

What does it really mean?

If it means that people go out and there is no bread to get and they'll die out of hunger, no, that's not gonna happen.

Right.

Man is a country of 90 million.

It has tons of borders, different countries.

It has different sort of resourcefulness methods.

It will be able to keep something going on for nine years, just nine months.

I mean, you know, and whatever blockade you have, the longer it holds, the more cracks they'll find.

The blockade has been terrible, but.

Is it terrible enough that something magically will happen and the whole place collapses?

That's not going to happen.

Now, is it enough that they would put so much pressure on the powers that be that they'll either turn on each other or give unprecedented compromises or, you know, those things are possible, but also not so easy to achieve and by nature unpredictable, which is why...

You know, it's very interesting.

President Trump talked like he's found some genius methods.

It's like if he just comes and attacks everybody and kills all the leaders and put this, okay, they'll all capitulate.

You know, if governance and statehood and warfare were so simple, everybody has big planes and they would just start it.
