All right, Alexander, let's discuss the situation with Iran and the back and forth that is going on between the United States and Iran, Pakistan mediating.

We have more terms that are being floated out there by both sides.

We have strikes into Iran or retaliatory strikes from Iran.

The United States is saying that these strikes are in self-defense.

We have the war that continues in Lebanon, which also prohibits any movement towards any kind of a deal between the United

States and Iran.

If we are to assume that they want a deal, I continue to believe and you also talk about

it in your videos that this is very much a waiting game, a stalemate.

A waiting game. Who can outweigh the other, it seems?

Yes. But as all this is going on, the war does continue in Lebanon, and that doesn't

show any signs of moving towards any kind of a ceasefire. So how do you see the situation?

Have we changed anything?

Have we changed anything from where we were from our last video?

It doesn't seem like it.

I think you've summed it up very well.

And your last point is, in my opinion, spot on, because this is an extremely frustrating

situation altogether. Now, there is a lot of talk about negotiations, and the first thing

people need to understand is that in fact and in reality, there are no negotiations in any accepted sense of the word going on.

There is Pakistan, which is supposed to be mediating between Iran and the United States.

And I don't know what actual role in terms of providing ideas the Pakistanis are playing.

I don't get the sense that they're doing anything much about that at all.

So what Pakistan basically is, is it's a courier service.
