And my second question, this agreement requires Iran to stop attacking the Kurdish opposition in Kurdistan region, which they did two days ago. So what this agreement does fundamentally is it required requires Iran to behave like a normal country. And If [Iran] doesn't [behave like a normal country], as so many people think that it never will, then it doesn't get any of the economic benefits. And if they do, then that's a great thing for everybody. It's a great thing for the Kurds. It's a great thing for anybody who has been under the brunt or under the threat of Iranian funded terrorist organizations. (02:00–42:55)
