[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct) Secretary Iran, um, you talked about their bleeding.

[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=3) Uh, do you have a timeline for, you know, how long the Iranian regime can, can hold on?

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=8) And is the end game regime collapse or that the regime comes to the table with less options?

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=13) No, the, the t-- I think the way to look at it is you do bad things, bad things will happen to you.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=17) That's the way to re-read it. And at the end of the day, bad things are happening to the Iranian economy, and it's unfortunate.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=22) The people of Iran deserve better. They don't-- But, but it's their own leaders that are imposing this on them. You know, this is not a country that in the past, for example, when Obama gave them sanctions relief, they didn't use that money to build up hospitals,

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=33) roads, bridges and universities. They used that money to build weapons and arm proxies in the region to attack us and other countries.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=39) So it's unfortunate that they have to be punished for that and that the Iranian people ultimately pay the price.

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=44) But that's 'cause they have really bad lunatic leaders.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=46) So, um, we, we just have to deal with that reality.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=49) But, you know, um, for bad behavior, there will be, there'll be consequences. There has to be.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5qKvihnxQTHr/en/iran-sanctions-secretary-discusses-economic-impact-and-regime-conduct?t=54) Otherwise, countries like these, regimes like this will do whatever they want.
