And as you do in bed, Rory, I was reading the latest edition of Foreign Affairs Magazine.
And I was actually reading a piece by this guy about Iran.
He was called Benham Ben Taleblu.
And he's the senior director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which I think opposed โ
the JCPOA, so he's probably, you know, very, very anti-Iranian.
But he set out, it was a really interesting, thoughtful piece, and it was setting out how America, with the support of the Iranian people, could bring down the regime, okay.
But as I read through it, I thought, God, this is bloody complicated.
This could go any which way on the route from A to B. Yeah.
Well, on prediction, while we'd be talking, Rory, our hardworking, dragging them out of bed early in the morning to set up a live podcast team, we'd be doing a bit of polling of our listeners and viewers.
Will Trump be successful in establishing regime change in Iran?
Our viewers and listeners think no, 80%.
Yes, 20%.
Will there be a full-blown war?
Yes, 55%.
No, 45%.
Will Keir Starmer join the US and Iran?
No, 84.
Yes, 16.
Will the Iranian people rise up against the regime in the week of these strides?
Yes, 41.
