Well, some fools, men of the J.O. So here from the WWE, when it's just me between matches, it's day one itch. That means it's Chumba time.

Once that is removed, what happens next? Edmund Fitton Graham gives an example of what happens if the Kurds of Iran rise up and assert their authority and their significance. Much more of this tonight. But the Israeli is at least, and I think the Israelis probably going after this in a slightly more focused way than the US is. The Israelis are talking directly to the Iranian people and saying, you know, we aren't going to help you throw off the shackles of the Islamic Republic and build something better. And from Israel's point of view, of course, it's understandable they see it in those terms because the Islamic Republic has been dedicated to this explicitly dedicated to the destruction of Israel. And the Israelis see in Persia a potential partner. They see it as a future friend, which would break their isolation in the region. But you also mentioned the complexity of Iran and that's really important. Let's not forget the Kurds. Let's not forget the Baluch.

Let's not forget the Azeris. This is a complicated patchwork country. It isn't just Persia. It is something bigger than that. And of course, that was holding together in a way there was a certain stability with the Islamic Republic because it was a unitary nation state under totalitarian governance. What happens when you break that down? Will we see, for example, Kurdish moves? I've already seen deliberate military moves from the US Israeli side to weaken the IRGC in the Kurdish areas. And there's one prison where all the inmates have been released because of an air strike. So if you then end up with a Kurdish militia that enters the fray, does that then draw in Turkey?
