Voice as a representative of shiites around the region. It was the United States saying the iranians have a legitimate say in how we act with the shiites in our country. In effect, and i think lee actually wrote this in one of his columns, this was a death sentence to nimr baqir alnimr. The only way our voice with the saudis about the way they treat the shiite is going to have any resonance is if they believe we are building a regional order in which they are larger security concerns are going to be addressed and their fear of an expanding iran is going to be addressed. If they believe we are going to help roll back iranian militias, then we might be able to have a fruitful conversation with them about whats going on inside their country. But under the current context, it is impossible. Host thank you, mike. One of the things i want to come back to that you brought up, which will play on a point i wanted to come back to with ali is about revolution and the state and if it is possible f

D advance. Lee you mean for the Islamic Republic . Or for saudi arabia. To say heres our chance. If the u. S. Does not want to get more involved, or for that matter, in terms of thinking signals and a time horizons, it becomes clear that the white house is going to move into hands that will differ. What do folks see here as primary horizons, given that. Lee we are going to shut down a couple of minutes, so lets make this our last round. If you would like to start . Ali the iranian party is more patient than most of us think. You know, i actually do agree that there is no sense of urgency from their point of view to start the revolution right now. They are patient. They are playing a game which they believe is serving their interests. And also they perceive the United States as a gradually declining world power in the propaganda of the revolutionary guards. But also, in their weekly magazines and journals.

To the extent that im wrong that this is something more sophisticated my sense is this has happened some time ago. Once the oil is refined you have testified that the assad regime is purchasing some of the oil. Some of it is being smuggled into the southern regions of turkey where you said the price of gasoline is higher than we would expect here. If you are purchasing barrels of oil at 30 or so a barrel you have reason to know this may be illicit oil. Are we doing enough as treasury of the United States to determine who the middle men are that are purchasing oil at 30 a barrel and make sure we are following that money into what accounts . That is exactly what they are doing, identifying the middle men. That is what i discussed more explicitly in my testimony. There is also a significant more diplomatic push to get the turks to do more in southern turke
