Ben Rhodes

Now, there is – there's been some polling that suggests about a third of Iranians supported him while another third strongly opposed him according to some Dutch pollster from 2025.

Again, I don't know.

I think mostly this is like –

People in Western media know who he is.

They need someone to call.

They can book him.

He's very bookable, it seems.

But he also, he's like kind of been at least clever in how he has framed this because he's been trying to set up this system to offer amnesty to anyone in the regime who will like go on some online portal, he says, and register their name.

And he claims to have signed up 50,000 people who, you know, he wants to keep in place.

Although, yeah, it's smart.

It's like, would you ever put your name down?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I swear regime change.

I don't know.

We'll find out.

Last thing, Ben, Trump clearly keeps saying he wants to deal.

I'm not really sure what kind of deal would be welcomed right now, right?

Like obviously a deal that limits or ends Iran's nuclear ambitions, gets rid of its ballistic missile program, that would make the US happy and Israel happy.

But protesters might view any deal in this moment as selling them out, right?

Because they want regime change, right?
