00:00Sir, very quickly, there was a moment yesterday when Orochi came into the room
00:04and did not greet you, you guys did not shake hands, and then he walked out of the room.
00:09Did you feel snubbed by that? Did you feel it was an intentional move on their part?
00:13How did you interpret what happened?
00:14No, I mean, I, trust me, I've spent a lot of time dealing with the Iranians over the last few
00:19months.
00:20Sometimes I find them extremely confusing as negotiators, but look, we had a little press
00:25conference. They obviously don't quite have the same First Amendment protections in Iran
00:28that we have in the United States of America. We talked to you guys and then had a series of
00:32really good meetings. What I did find kind of funny is that after that initial meeting,
00:37there was this, you know, sort of social media firestorm where everybody said the Iranians are
00:41going to leave, and then we proceeded to talk to them for like the next nine hours. So I would
00:45just
00:45encourage the media, mistrust a little bit what you see coming out of Iranian social media.
00:50They can be confusing negotiators, but we feel like we're making progress. Thank you guys.
00:55Thank you guys. Take care.
