They were doing it on the sly, but it was a small amount.
And then when Biden lifted those sanctions, China signed this 25-year strategic agreement with Iran and purchases about 90% of the oil that Iran ships out, as you said, 80% to 90% of it.
And when Trump came into office, he has chosen not to reinstate those sanctions.
He's put other sanctions on.
But reportedly, Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump did speak about the possibility of reinstating those sanctions somewhat.
And it was, I think, deliberately leaked out because the Chinese then responded and basically said, hey, don't do that.
But look, this regime was on the verge of collapse at the end of the first Trump term.
If the 2020 election doesn't get stolen and Trump leaves those sanctions on, this regime might not even be here today because of sanctions, because of sanctions.
Yeah, and there's a couple other things to look for, Steve, if I could just make your audience a little smart.
Ramadan starts tonight, and the Iranian people are much more secular than the regime, and a lot of them are rejecting Islam.
They've been burning mosques during the course of these protests, but the regime enforces Ramadan.
They prohibit eating in public, and it's a time that typically could lead to a lot of unrest.
Also, today and tomorrow,
The bazaar shop owners who started all the protests have called for a national strike, including a strike of all the petrochemical workers and all of the trade unions, and also calling for people to potentially come back into the streets, although there's, of course, a lot of fear of getting gunned down.
We could see a lot of unrest in the streets of Iran over the course of the next couple of days with the convergence of these factors here.
Well, I think that defensive help in terms of missile defense is probably necessary.
Although Israel has been bolstering its missile defense in preparation for this, I'm not privy enough to know if Israel can handle the missile defense alone.
Because if the regime senses it's going to collapse, they could unload their arsenal of missiles.
And their ballistic missile capabilities have actually gotten better since the 12-day war.
So defensive assistance Israel might need.
