And by the way, the repression that the regime has placed on its own people, this has run its course. And so we need to provide the people of Iran with cash, with intelligence, with communication systems, maybe even weapons as required to help them really develop a strategy and an execution. that would bring down this regime that is thoroughly hated.

I think that you've got Azerbaijan, you've got Saudi Arabia, you've got Israel, you've got a whole bunch of other countries in the region that also hate Iran. They hate this regime in Iran, right? They don't hate the Iranian people, but they do believe that the Islamic Republic is one of the greatest problems faced in the Middle East.

You've got a whole country now in Syria, they're celebrating the ouster of Iran from that country. I think the Iraqis would probably benefit as well from expunging Iranian influence there. So, what we need is a process of removing this really rotten regime from across the Middle East, but it's got to start in Iran itself, where I think you have a population naturally inclined to help.

And so I think that's the conversation that needs to start sooner rather than later. And I think it's interesting because you've got a president coming in who's been the target of assassination attempts

by this regime so he's going to be motivated to start to think about how we get rid of these uh these bad actors and and of course there's that history that we have dating back to trump's maximum pressure campaign the big sanctions that were being put on the regime what we didn't do last time we have an opportunity to do now is to extend that to support to the iranian people

yeah i mean look the iranians already control iraq to a large extent and it was a huge mistake of ours to leave when we did in the way that we did because we left iran in total control it used to be that they you know had primary control in the southern part of that country uh that's the the shiite population there and so it was sort of natural but now you know you go further north in baghdad and even into parts of kurdistan and you're still going to see iranian influence

financial influence is clear the central bank i think has just been um hijacked uh by the iranian regime so you know i i'm deeply concerned there i do think that the shia militias the uh the pmus as they're known the popular mobilization units that were based in syria um you know they did leave they melted away uh i think a lot of them went to iraq and that's where they're going to reorganize

I think those Shia militias, by the way, may also continue the smuggling of Captagon, this addictive drug that has helped fund the Assad regime in the past. It's going to yield money to Hezbollah and to the regime itself. I can imagine that that smuggling is going to continue by way of Iraq into Jordan.
