While he has not specifically mentioned sympathy for Israel back home (i.e. Iran), he did say that the regime was pretty much universally despised by the people these days.

He also said that sanctions were a joke, and that apart from Israel, Iran is trading freely, under false-flag invoicing and shipping, with most other countries in the world, including our own. In Iran, he says, that’s not even an open secret. It’s just open. My Iranian friends here are in Berlin, at the other end of Germany, so we don’t see each other every day.
