There are well over 1,000 Iranian millionaires and easily over 20 billionaires in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, and yes even (ugh!) France.
 
Even the Pahlavis have a lot of money.
 
These ingenious individuals solve every known human problem in technology, medicine, science, and finance.
 
They also like to buy pretty shiny expensive things. On sale.
 
Moreover if at any time any foreigner makes the mistake of asking any one of them, they will tell them emphatically how wonderful Iran is, how great the people are, and will immediately want to buy them Persian food to prove it.
 
Yet, as of this morning, like right now, I just checked, and there has definitely not been any zoom meeting called to discuss how to go about the now significantly simpler task of buying and then freeing Iran from Islamism and Zionism in one fell swoop.
 
At this stage of the war between Israel and the Islamic Republic, one would think with the other Persian penchant for finding the best deal on a Bentley, the Iranian Illustriati Con Carne would by now have texted each other or something.
 
They must be too busy "hiking".
