Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Dr. Ottolenghi, thank you very much for your testimony. I just want to ask you one question, to begin, that's outside of your testimony.

How much support is the Iranian regime giving to Bashar al-Assad right at the moment? Estimates are that up to 10,000 people are dead in Syria. Is the common citizen of Iran aware of the regime's support for the Syrian regime?
