They basically said, our goal, that's in their constitution, is to export the Islamic revolution worldwide.
And that's what they proceeded to do.
So all the mineral resources, all the economic resources were now tuned to war.
In the time that I, when I was finance minister, and till today, Iran at that time and Israel had roughly the same GDP per capita.
Ours went up.
from $17,000 to $60,000 per capita.
And there it stayed flat.
Why?
Because they took all that money, all that money to arm Hezbollah, arm Hamas, arm the Houthis, and purvey terror around the globe, not only in the Middle East, against the Arabs, against Israel, against everyone else, against Americans.
So what has happened is that Iran collapsed economically.
They have now infrastructure that is completely destroyed, their water system is depleted, their dams are empty, their rivers are drying up, because they don't take care of their people.
This is a horrible sect.
So I gave, in this room where I'm sitting, a few days ago, I gave a podcast to the Iranian people, which I do from time to time, and I had a glass of water,
