Saturday night after, so like for an hour,
There was a lot of noise, a lot of light, a lot of commotion, and then silence.
Just absolute.
I don't think Tehran has ever been this silent.
Nothing.
Just silence.
And I know that I try not to watch the videos still because...
I can't take them right now, but I know that videos are coming out now, but most of these videos are from Thursday night, Friday, and maybe Saturday, if it's super violent.
I don't know if I can predict that, but every time the people of Iran have protested, they have responded with violence.
And every time, the next time has been worse for them.
And I think something changed on Saturday night because they killed indiscriminately.
They fired into crowds of people.
And they said that they were going to do that, but I don't think people... They sent text messages from intelligence services to all of the people of Tehran.
That was the only text that we could receive to numbers in Iran.
And they warned the people, don't come out because we are going to use force if you do.
something changed i i know that there's a lot of uh discussion of who can hijack this movement the freedom movement of the people of iran and it's very possible
But I can tell you this, the way that the government of Iran has responded to the protesters, every single person in Iran would happily join any intelligence service to end this regime.
We are not unified in what we want, but we are unified in not wanting the Islamic Republic.
And I think the people around know that in chaos, there's risk.
They know that their livelihood is going to be affected.
