The nation of Iran, which, by the way, just as an aside, it's wild how fast the news cycle is moving right now.

0:08.2

Because if you go out into the street and you ask an average person about us, meaning America, bombing Iran, they might say, oh yeah, that was a wild guy.

0:17.5

I almost forgot about that.

0:18.6

It's like, brother, that was last month that happened.

0:21.9

It's wild. Just as an example, if Canada bombed, surprise bombed, the nuclear sites here in the U.S.,

0:29.7

we would be talking about that nonstop for many, many months. It would be like the Pearl Harbor

aren't even aware of. And it's the fact that the country, Iran, is running out of water. They're

1:22.3

facing a severe water crisis. And I don't mean in the center of the country that's more

1:27.0

arid, mountainous, and

1:28.9

desert, but rather in the actual big cities where people live. Like, for instance, the capital

1:34.0

city of Tehran, where water pressure is so low in many apartment buildings that taps are
