Debate on Reformists, Conservatives and Negotiations With the West

Look, the reformists' father, the hard-liners— The hard-liners are worse than the reformists— You, you—the hard-liners are worse than the reformists— So where are you, then, darling?

My dear, the hard-liners are worse than the reformists.

Sorry, reformism is cancer, and hard-linerism is the plague.

What else can I say? Even before the war, our situation— For forty, fifty percent, year after year, we had inflation of forty or fifty percent.

We have to sort out our foreign affairs.

Where necessary, we should make deals. We shouldn't worry at all about give- and- take— give and take.

We've seen each other's haiku too… Those things they bring up, like, I don't know, honor and all that— Those things they say about it are wrong.

To solve the problem, all of us have no option but to— our priority is definitely negotiation and a deal, meaning give-and-take.

Yes, we can let some parts go and get some in return.

I think the friends who— Why, why, why should we give anything away?

What should we have given them that we still haven't? It doesn't work.

Look, again, it's just vague generalities.

Slogans and armchair deal-making. At this point, it's becoming a reality.

Well, the English have a saying: They say, if you're raped, and you can't fight off your attacker, give in and enjoy the rape.

So this isn't negotiation. It's obvious what it is.

I didn't want to speak this so frankly anymore.

It's something I understand too. You can't take part in any deal.

You have no ability whatsoever. Other than screaming and shouting— We've seen your ability too— what ability do you have at all?

— We've seen your ability to make deals too— My dear—flesh and blood— My dear—we've felt it to our bones. Listen.

Part of a conversation is listening. Yes, yes. Listening well.

Yes. You don't listen. You've shut your ears and only talk.

Sir, empty talk and selling dreams are long past their time, sir.

I'm not saying anything else. You still think it’s the 1980s and the JCPOA era.

That era is over, sir. It’s over. If you want to make a deal, you have to make a deal on your nuclear program and its preamble, Let me answer.

Well—or you have to address the regional issue…

Come on, then. Say I’m wrong. Say I’m wrong.

I wanted to ask you, please. No, this is just how my voice sounds.
