00:08know, the Iranian military, the Iranian quads, yeah, the IRGC and the Quads Horse inside of it operate, they run
00:20the country.
00:21The clerics are, you know, they're figureheads. They issue fatwas. They, you know, hold huge rallies. But if you want
00:34to know who runs the country because you want to know who runs the economy, it's the military.
00:40Were they ever going to quit just because the leaders? These are people who had just killed 40,000 Iranians
00:47a couple of months before in order to stay in power.

00:56were sending 10 and 11-year-old boys to the front lines.
