And people who understand the markets can play the markets, whether they're going up or down and make fortunes.

Anyway, we want to just hear a little bit about what is going on.

An Iranian journalist, BBC Persian correspondent, Kazra Nagy, was analysing the situation for the BBC.

I'm sure certainly the Iranians don't want war, but they're a proud people.

And they don't want to be humiliated either.

And that feeds into that story on the front of the Sunday Independent about the 500 flights being cancelled by Aer Lingus and possibly on the Business Post suggesting Ryanair might have to do the same later on, depending.

Now, all the papers are looking at Daniel Kinnan and his misfortune in Dubai being arrested.

The Mail has an interesting take on it, that he felt protected by the fact that he had big money and expected a tip off soon.

if there were to be an attempted arrest, that he'd be warned in advance.

But then the idea that his links with Iran, because one of the speculations during the year was, in the event of the U.S.

putting pressure on Dubai to hand him over, that he would go to Iran as a possible safe haven.

Now, given the situation there, the fact that he seemed to be even friendly towards Iranians, not good news for him in Dubai.

Yeah.

I mean, that idea that if you've got lots of money in places like Dubai, that you are protected, you're insulated from harm.

And maybe with property deals and money changing hands, you know, people doing business with each other, even though that's drug money, basically, that has fueled the cannons, that money protects.

And we see, you know, in the United States that money can get you off all sorts of wraps.

But sometimes you reach the end of the road.

One would hope that they learned from the prosecution of Hutch, which, as you know, he was released.

They perhaps pressed the wrong charges.

So we'll see what they do with Daniel Kinnan when his time comes in the Special Criminal Court.
