“We have been notified and pretty strongly, but we’ll find out what that all means. But we’ve been told that the killing in Iran is stopping. It’s stopped, it’s stopping. And there’s no plan for executions or an execution or executions. So I’ve been told that on good authority. We’ll find out about it.” “It makes me feel horrified. I’m actually horrified. I think the most horrifying part of this is that the Iranian people know their own enemy. They know the Iranian regime. They knew the cruelty that this regime would unleash on them, but they still went out onto the streets because as I said, they’ve got nothing to lose.”
