Sivash, to you, first of all, as I say, we're into the third straight week of this.
From the fragments of information that's coming in, what can you tell us?
Caroline, is this the biggest threat to the Islamic Republic since its inception?
Paul, to you in Washington, a number of questions about whether Donald Trump will intervene, giving some of the recent warnings he's given to the regime.
I'll come back to that point, but Sirvash, Caroline was touching on it.
This was sparked by inflation and economics at the end of December.
It is now morphed into something entirely different with so many of the protesters on the street calling for the end of the regime.
But tell me more about how the regime itself is portraying it.
What is appearing on state television, for example?
Caroline, let's go back to something you were mentioning a little earlier, because the Internet blackout is making it very difficult to actually find out the facts of what is happening on the ground.
But it has a wider impact, too, from all of those desperately around the world trying to find out about loved ones who are living in Iran.
Paul, let's pick up on something you said in your earlier answer.
You made the point that the Iranians are saying they are willing to negotiate with the US, but only on an equal basis.
But in terms of the Trump administration, do you get any sense that he is seeing this as an opportunity to topple this regime?
A quick postscript on just that, because Jackson has contacted us to say, would US allies be supportive of any strikes in Iran?
Iran's tentacles have stretched across so many countries in that wider region.
Siavash, just on the possibilities of a conflict, your assessment of how people, protesters even feel about a possible war?
A real quick one on this, because Iran's parliamentary speaker said Tehran would consider US bases and Israel as targets if they detected signs of an impending attack.
