Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Aizond Geopolitics.

I'm here with Mick Mulroy, Jason Lyons, and I'm Dmitri Contacos.

Happy Easter to everybody who celebrates.

A lot cooking, as usual, world falling apart at the seams, it seems like.

Let's kick off with the Iran negotiations because we're shooting this on Saturday at 11 a.m.

And they just wrapped up maybe an hour, an hour and a half ago.

And instantly on Iranian state TV, it said that talks were constructive.

It was happening in Rome.

There was some confusion last week about like, is it happening again?

Is it in Rome or is it happening in Oman?

As long as they're happening, I think it's a good thing.

I mean, you have seen over the last week or so since, like, it's come out where, like,

they're talking about a jipoah number 2.0.

Like, that's what I see a lot of people talking about it as.

That this is crazy.

Like, we shouldn't do this and stuff.

And I get it.

Some Iran Hawks are Iran Hawks and they're going to do what they need to do.

But, Mick, I wanted to ask you because I'm sure you've been in like meetings like this or at least like seeing this go down like how these talks go because they're saying that there's two, the two parties are in separate rooms and there's a mediator running between them both and stuff like that.

And it seems to me like very odd.

Like these guys just can't sit in a room together.

You know what I mean?
