And so, like I said, I just feel like I have lived in the same story over and over and it's been deja vu all over again.

So he was criticized a lot by his own base for not responding enough to United States first, and then later to Israel, who was constantly agitating Iran by assassination of Fakhrizadeh in 2021, by killing Iranian IRGC commanders in Syria from 2021, all the way to killing of Zahedi in April 2024.

So how many had to like exactly so he had to like constantly, in a sense, speed up their the urge for entering into war with America and Israel, and also dragging the the reformists and the those who were after appeasement.

We absolutely knew it happened, one.

Two, Fakhrizadeh, to the extent that Fakhrizadeh was alive, he was gonna continue to work on the weapons program.

David BlairGUEST
23:38

David BlairGUEST
