Naseem, tell me a bit more about yourself and how you came to Ireland.

And you feel happier about that because it's doing something for the climate and the environment.

Indeed.

That's great.

Maya, when we last had you on, you joined us to talk about the anti-regime protests in Iran and then things really escalated very shortly afterwards.

How surprised were you when the US and Israel launched their attack on Iran last February?

That must be so frustrating.

And I think that's probably behind you setting up the network as well so that Iranian voices can be heard.

And that's why we're having you on.

What are you hearing from your family and friends in Iran and how they are feeling at the moment?

I mean, Maya's just described there how it's been going on for so long.

It's decades of this.

But what has been the more recent feelings in terms of everything that's happened in the last few months?

I think you've both made the point really well that the Islamic Republic is not the Iranians.

I mean, this is the thing that I think is the really big point that you want to get across, that there's a whole population there who are... Do you want a secular democracy is what the ideal is.

How close or, I mean, is it just...

very, very far away or what do you think?

I'm always asking you about being hopeful or are you hopeful?

And I know it's a really hard question because it's very difficult.

But what are you thinking about that at the moment or what are people feeling?
