Sure.

Well, thanks so much for having me.

I think first and foremost, this is an incredible day for the Iranian people and also Iranians all throughout the world.

As a Persian American myself, it is incredible that this is a day of liberation for the Iranian people.

We've seen almost 30,000 people have died in the past couple of months just fighting for their basic rights rights.

to sing in public, to vote, to practice a religion that they want to practice, to be able to go get drinks with their friends publicly.

Just basic freedoms that we in the United States, I think, take for granted.

And that's what these people have died for.

The basic, the average range of those that have passed away have been ages 18 to 22.

And again, that's only within the past couple of months, not to mention the atrocities that the Iranian people have faced for almost 50 years.

My family themselves had to escape Iran, unable to return.

My father has been unable to return to his country.

Since he was 14 and he's in his 70s now.

And so this is an incredible moment for Persians everywhere.

Persians have been protesting.

I think it's throughout 20 countries for this very moment we're seeing now.

And so I'm very excited and very excited.

eager to keep following the news.

I believe so.

I mean, when you see we saw this morning, when you see, you know, Iranians within their own country cheering for missiles that are hitting their own country.
