Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank both our witnesses, Professors Stanton and Ottolenghi. I think they had excellent sets of testimony.
Let me begin with Professor Stanton. Sir, you have identified some seven early warning signs of genocide in Iran. As a cultural anthropologist and law professor, you've also developed a paradigm or model of eight stages of genocide, as part of your analysis of recent genocides. And you have indicated that every one of the first six stages has already happened in Iran.
I have a twofold question. What is the relationship between the early warning signs framework of analysis and the eight stages of genocide model? Second, can you describe how Iran has already proceeded through the first six stages?
