But I think people who are just saying like, oh, let's get rid of the regime and plant a new opposition leader who's going to be a transitional leader, but offer no plan and offer no system and offer no insight.

and not be tested and not even talk about what kind of infrastructure that leader has currently inside Iran, I think that's very troubling.

And I think it puts a lot of the countries in the region on edge because if you thought the Iraq crisis

war and the refugee crisis that it created across the region for countries like Jordan, for countries like Turkey, for countries in Europe, for countries in the Gulf.

If you thought that was a problem, imagine a country of 90 million people, including Iranians, spilling over all across the area and having porous borders with

Afghanistan or Pakistan or elsewhere and see then what kind of crises may emerge in terms of transnational security issues, whether it's in Europe or in the Gulf.

I mean, can I just say really quickly two things?

One, Donald Trump suddenly caring about Cuban-Americans being able to go.

or say hi to their relatives is just the absurdity of it.

And by the way, that's exactly what you did.

That's exactly what President Obama did.

President Obama made it possible for Cuban Americans to go down and say hello to their relatives and actually try to co-opt the country.

And he's making it sound like he's doing it for humanitarian purposes, right?

He's like, oh, we want them to be able to go down there and say hi to their relatives because it's a mess.

Well, A, there's a similarity between the mess that you're seeing in Cuba and the mess that you're seeing in Iran, because all you have to do is listen to Scott Besant, the Treasury Secretary, who basically said, look, we collapsed the Iranian currency, which led to the protests taken to the streets.

And now you're seeing the same playbook in Cuba, which is we are the ones who are making the economic conditions so miserable for the people in Cuba that they're going to go out to the

streets to protest.

And what's going to happen is they're going to get gunned down and killed because of a policy that we're trying to implement by collapsing their economies.

So let's just be very clear about that and speak very clearly about what the United States is doing in Cuba and Iran is implode these countries economically, make the people suffer.

They go out to the streets to demand a better country.
