How this agreement affect Iran backed groups across the region, especially the Iranian backed groups in Iraq. 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 it doesn't, as so many people think that it never will, then it doesn't get any of the economic benefits. (42:38–42:45)
