i have to ask you this, did you ever meet kavous seyed—emami? using their mouthpiece in the iranian press, that you and he were linked in an espionage network. i have met a lot of iranians that, especially those with passion about the environment, including kavous seyed—emami. and indeed, last summer, i was invited by kavous seyed—emami to give a lecture on iran's water problems at the university that he was a professor of. and i remember that, like you know, we were walking out asking why he is teaching at that university? and he was very proud of his impact and the fact that he can have an impact and, you know, try hard for the well—being of the iranians. i don't think, overall, in my life, i might have been in meetings with him or places for a few hours in total, so i can't reallyjudge everything about him, but i was always getting positive vibes and i felt that he's a guy who cares about his country. i have to ask you, you're talking to me from obviously an undisclosed destination in california, which is where you are currently. to some, wat
