Transcript [00:00] Everyone, something happened this week [00:01] that got covered mostly as an energy [00:03] story, but it's huge. The UAE decided to [00:06] leave OPEC. That's right. Leaving OPEC, [00:10] massive headline, you probably heard [00:11] about it. And everyone's talking about [00:13] it in terms of the oil, and that's all [00:15] obviously very important, and we'll [00:16] explain that, too. [00:17] But they [00:18] Excuse me, but they walked out of OPEC [00:20] after 59 years of membership. Right? [00:23] There was no no counteroffer or [00:25] negotiation or discussions. They just [00:27] sent a letter giving a deadline, May [00:30] 1st, they're done with May 1st is [00:32] is a couple days from now. Now, the [00:34] media, again, is focusing on the oil, [00:36] but if you understand what the UAE's [00:38] been doing over the last few years, and [00:39] I've been watching this closely. I just [00:41] made a video about the UAE a couple days [00:42] ago, you might have seen on this [00:43] channel. [00:45] This is the UAE moving in the same [00:47] direction they've been moving, [00:48] announcing loudly and publicly [00:51] what their vision for the Middle East [00:53] is. [00:54] That's what I'm going to walk you [00:54] through in this video, and we're going [00:56] to do it carefully. We're going to go [00:57] layer by layer and show how everything [00:59] connects, and we'll put the whole puzzle [01:01] together. [01:02] So, the first thing to understand [01:04] about the UAE leaving OPEC, [01:07] uh you have to see this pipeline that [01:08] they built. This is critical to [01:10] understanding the whole strategy. So, [01:12] years ago, the UAE built a pipeline. [01:15] Here's the UAE. This is the UAE here, [01:17] Abu Dhabi, Dubai. This is the UAE. And [01:20] they built a pipeline [01:22] from [01:23] their oil fields [01:25] over to the east side, to this port [01:28] here, Fujairah. You see this port? This [01:30] is Fujairah Port. [01:32] They built a pipeline that crosses [01:33] across the country, and it takes oil [01:35] out, and this is the key, it allows them [01:38] to take oil out of the Gulf of Oman to [01:40] the, you know, to the Indian Ocean [01:42] without having to go through the Straits [01:44] of Hormuz. [01:46] Okay? That's what they did. They And [01:47] they built it as a hedge [01:49] to just for a a situation like we're [01:51] having now. [01:54] Um because they were worried that Iran [01:56] could close the Straits. We're worried [01:57] about the instability in the area. And [01:58] now they Now tankers can load up on UAE [02:01] oil outside the Straits of Hormuz and [02:04] take it out. [02:05] And what's been happening now with the [02:08] Straits being so disrupted, [02:11] the Saudis have their own pipeline. [02:13] Everyone's been [02:15] been um [02:16] you know, [02:18] been worried about oil prices. [02:20] Now the Now OPEC is a cartel. It's an [02:22] oil cartel, they control they control [02:25] oil prices, and they control oil prices [02:28] by setting quotas and setting limits on [02:31] how much oil can be pumped by the member [02:33] states so that they keep oil prices high [02:36] enough to make whatever they want to [02:37] make. [02:38] >> [snorts] [02:38] >> And [02:40] OPEC is dominated by Saudi Arabia, and [02:42] and they were uh mandating that the UAE [02:46] cap its production. And the UAE has [02:48] increased its capacity to 5 million [02:50] barrels a day, [02:53] and [02:54] they and they're not allowed to pump [02:56] that much, and they end up leaving [02:57] billions of dollars on the table. [02:59] And they have the capacity to pump more. [03:02] And the UAE did the math, and they're [03:03] like, "Why are we still in OPEC?" And [03:05] they decided to leave OPEC. That's the [03:07] energy side of the story. Okay? [03:11] But the [03:11] But this pipeline didn't just change the [03:13] UAE's relationship with OPEC. It changed [03:16] its relationship with the with the whole [03:18] Middle East, or it's part of their [03:19] changing relationship with the Middle [03:20] East. Now, I've been saying this for a [03:22] long time on this channel and elsewhere [03:24] that the UAE is different than all the [03:26] other Gulf states. They've been making [03:28] deliberate strategic bets on the [03:30] Israel-America axis, [03:32] and they've been open about it, and [03:34] they've been paying a price for it [03:35] diplomatically in the Arab world. And [03:37] think about what the UAE's done. They [03:38] signed the Abraham Accords. They were [03:40] the first major Gulf state to normalize [03:42] with Israel. They weren't pressured into [03:43] it, they wanted to do it. It wasn't one [03:46] of these reluctant peace deals like you [03:47] had like Israel with Egypt or whatever. [03:50] They were actually into it. They also [03:52] sided with Israel on the Somaliland [03:54] recognition when the Saudis and the [03:56] Qataris and the Turks were all opposed [03:58] to it. [04:00] Um [04:02] And you know what? Other Arab states [04:04] like the Saudis and the Qataris and the [04:06] Turks [04:08] and the Egyptians, they're always [04:09] talking out of both sides of their [04:11] mouths. I mean, the Turks aren't Arab, [04:12] but a Muslim state. Talking out of both [04:14] sides of their mouths, sometimes they're [04:15] pro-Western, sometimes they're not [04:16] pro-Western. But the UAE has been very [04:19] clear. They've been making clear [04:20] choices, and they've been moving into [04:22] the pro-Western camp, the pro-Israel [04:25] camp. [04:28] Let me put it this way. When the dust [04:30] settles on this period of the Middle [04:31] East that we're living through, [04:34] the UAE-Israel partnership is going to [04:36] be very influential in the entire [04:38] security architecture of the whole [04:40] region. There was a headline the other [04:41] day that about how Israel actually was [04:43] providing Iron Dome [04:46] um a missile defense to the UAE. [04:51] So, the UAE made a bet over these years. [04:54] A bet on on the on the Israel [04:56] relationship, on a pro-Western, more [04:58] moderate approach. They've been doubling [05:01] down on it. [05:02] And the OPEC exit is part of that game. [05:08] Let me explain. [05:10] The UAE is actually building pieces of [05:13] infrastructure all over the Middle East [05:17] to create a new a new alignment. [05:24] One example of that is another news [05:26] story that probably you missed. Most [05:28] people missed it. Is this news story. [05:31] This is from last week. Jordan and UAE [05:34] to launch $2.3 billion Akaba [05:38] Akaba Port Railway. Hmm. [05:42] $2.3 billion Akaba [05:45] Akaba Port Railway. [05:47] So, let's take a look at Jordan, [05:50] and we will understand what's going on [05:52] here. Okay, so here is Let's go over to [05:54] Jordan now. [05:56] Here's Jordan. [05:58] Whoop. [05:59] Here's Jordan. [06:00] Okay? [06:01] So, Jordan's all the way over here. [06:03] So, why is the UAE investing in a [06:05] railway in Jordan? So, this railway [06:09] that they invested in, [06:11] it [06:12] it um [06:14] down in the south of Jordan. Okay, down [06:16] here in the southern part of Jordan, all [06:19] the way down here, we have the Port of [06:20] Akaba. Okay? Here's the Port of Akaba. [06:23] It's a port on the Red that opens onto [06:27] the Gulf of Akaba, which leads down into [06:29] the Red Sea. [06:31] Okay? It leads down into the Red Sea, [06:32] which then goes down out through the Bab [06:35] al-Mandab Strait. Let's pull this Let's [06:37] pull back the camera. [06:38] Okay? The Gulf of Akaba leads down to [06:40] the Red Sea, out to the Bab al-Mandab [06:41] Strait, or out into the Red Sea and up [06:44] to through the Suez Canal. This is a [06:46] major strategic uh port. So, this is the [06:49] Port of Akaba on the Jordanian side. On [06:52] Israel's side, it's called Eilat. [06:55] Okay? That's what you have there. [06:57] And near the southern tip of the Dead [06:59] Sea, [07:00] you have potash production [07:03] uh at at um at Ghor al-Safi, and you [07:07] have phosphate mines at Shidiya. Okay, [07:11] let me show you those on the map. Okay? [07:13] So, that's [07:15] uh Ghor al-Safi is right around here. [07:20] Ghor al-Safi right here, at the bottom [07:22] of the Dead Sea. And the Shidiya [07:24] phosphate mines are closer to the Saudi [07:26] border down here. [07:28] Okay, so they have these very important [07:30] uh mineral mines that are that are [07:32] there. [07:33] And [07:35] And then you have the Port of Akaba. So, [07:37] getting those minerals from the mines to [07:39] the port is currently being done by [07:41] trucks on congested roads. And the UAE [07:44] is building a 360-km railway connecting [07:47] all of it. [07:48] Connecting the mines to the ports. It's [07:50] a 50/50 joint venture between uh Abu [07:53] Dhabi sovereign wealth fund and the [07:54] Jordanian government. [07:56] Um and the phosphate company, the potash [07:58] company, the government investment fund, [08:00] all that. [08:01] So, it's part of a broader $5.5 billion [08:05] investment between Abu Dhabi, that's the [08:07] UAE, and and uh and King Abdullah of [08:10] Jordan that goes back to 2023. [08:13] So, the UAE And the UAE already [08:16] has owns the port rights at Akaba. They [08:19] have port rights. They don't own the [08:21] port rights. They have port rights at [08:22] Akaba. [08:23] So, this railway, they're not just [08:24] building it to help the Jordanians move [08:26] their potash and their and um and their [08:29] other minerals. [08:30] They're building the railway to a port [08:32] that they already have influence and [08:35] access [08:38] uh to. What they're doing is they're [08:40] building a piece of a supply chain [08:43] through territory that they are steadily [08:45] integrating into their [08:47] into their orbit, into their supply [08:48] chain. Now, here's where it gets really [08:49] interesting, because the railway isn't [08:51] just about Jordanian phosphate exports. [08:54] Now, let's take a look at the whole [08:55] region. Let's pull back the camera even [08:57] more and look at the entire region. [08:59] Okay, let's let's let's really really [09:01] pull back the camera, okay? [09:04] So, here's the here's the whole region. [09:06] Let's zoom in a little. [09:08] All right. Now, we can really see [09:10] everything. [09:12] The United States has been championing [09:13] has been championing and moving forward [09:15] this major infrastructure vision that is [09:18] called the IMEC corridor, IMEC. The [09:20] India-Middle East-Europe Economic [09:23] Corridor. The strategic logic behind [09:26] this corridor is very simple. They want [09:27] to create a land and sea trade route [09:30] that connects India to Europe through [09:33] the Middle East as a direct competitor [09:35] to China's Belt and Road Initiative, [09:37] which runs through Iran and Turkey, [09:40] which are two countries that are not in [09:42] the Western camp. So, the United States [09:44] is building an alternative land route, [09:46] which runs India through the UAE, [09:49] through Saudi Arabia, up through Jordan, [09:51] through Israel, and then onto Europe via [09:54] the Mediterranean. [09:55] It's the infrastructure backbone of the [09:57] new Middle East that America is trying [09:59] to build. [10:00] Now, look at where the UAE Jordan [10:02] railway fits in. [10:04] It's the Jordan leg of IMEC. Okay, let's [10:07] go back. Let's zoom in again on Jordan [10:09] and I'll explain more about the railway. [10:11] Okay? This railway [10:13] is meant to go [10:16] from from Aqaba up to the Dead Sea, but [10:19] but that's that's what they're building [10:21] now, but it is actually meant to [10:22] continue all the way north up to Syria. [10:27] Okay? That's the long-term vision for [10:29] it. [10:30] Uh towards Syria and the Mediterranean [10:33] and southward connecting Saudi Arabia [10:35] and the Gulf. [10:36] That's what's supposed to happen. [10:38] And um in its full vision, this is not a [10:41] Jordanian mining railway. That's not why [10:44] uh the UAE is investing billions of [10:46] dollars there. It's a con- it's part of [10:48] a continental corridor that's going to [10:50] connect the Gulf to Europe overland [10:53] through friendly territory. [10:56] And it's going to be anchored by UAE [10:58] investment. Now, the UAE is not waiting [11:01] for this to be negotiated into existence [11:03] down the road. They are building it now. [11:06] They're building it piece by piece with [11:07] their own sovereign wealth fund. [11:10] Now, we have to talk about Saudi Arabia [11:12] because to understand the full [11:13] significance of what what the UAE is [11:15] doing and why the OPEC exit matters [11:17] beyond the oil markets, you have to [11:19] understand something counterintuitive [11:21] about Saudi Arabia's interest. [11:25] Saudi Arabia, and I've said this many [11:26] times on this channel, you've heard me [11:28] say it. Saudi Arabia does not want the [11:31] Iranian regime to fall. [11:33] I've been saying this for a while. I [11:35] know it sounds strange because they're [11:36] enemies [11:37] and we know that they were encouraging [11:38] the United States to attack Iran, but [11:40] they actually don't want it to fall. [11:43] Saudi Arabia and Iran are rivals. They [11:45] fought proxy wars. There's a deep [11:47] Sunni-Shiite tension between them. [11:50] Um [11:51] MBS, the head of Saudi Arabia, the Crown [11:54] Prince, uh compared Khamenei to Hitler. [11:58] But Saudi Arabia depends on Saudi [12:01] Arabia's entire strategic importance [12:04] depends on Iran still being [12:07] a hostile regime. Why does that make [12:09] sense? Let me explain. [12:12] Cuz you have to understand this to [12:13] understand everything they're doing. [12:16] So, let's look at let's zoom in a little [12:18] bit more on Saudi Arabia. Okay? Here's [12:20] Saudi Arabia. [12:22] Big country right here, right? See it? [12:24] There's Saudi Arabia. [12:26] But we have to zoom back a little bit so [12:27] we see Iran and Saudi Arabia. Okay, so [12:29] here's Iran. Here's Saudi Arabia. Keep [12:32] that in focus as I explain. [12:37] So, Saudi Arabia right now is [12:39] indispensable to the West and to the [12:41] United States. They have been for a [12:43] while. Why? Because Iran is a pariah. [12:47] Because Iran is hostile and dangerous [12:49] and destabilizing and you know, the West [12:52] needs a reliable ally in the Gulf. They [12:54] need a large oil-producing country that [12:57] can be counted on. Saudi Arabia fills [12:59] that role. [13:00] And that's why they've been able to play [13:02] both sides for decades. Everybody needs [13:03] them. So, if they're not happy with [13:05] Americans, they start courting the [13:07] Chinese. Right? The Saudis are always [13:09] switching sides. Everyone needs the [13:11] Saudis, but everyone needs the Saudis [13:13] because and you can see it just by [13:15] looking at the geography. Because Iran [13:18] is so toxic. Everyone tolerates the [13:21] games and the hedging and the [13:22] double-dealing of the Saudis because [13:24] they need them because Iran because you [13:26] can't deal with Iran. Saudi Arabia knows [13:28] this. They're not naive. They understand [13:31] that their leverage over the West is [13:33] precisely because Iran is a pariah [13:37] state. So, you can't build a land [13:39] bridge, a land corridor across Iran if [13:41] you're the West. That's why China's [13:43] using Iran. [13:44] Now, imagine that this changes. [13:47] Look at Iran. Look at it. It's a country [13:49] of nearly 90 million people, more than [13:51] double Saudi Arabia's population. Look [13:53] at the size of the landmass. [13:56] Look at that. It's huge. [13:58] Iran is a massive country [14:01] and it borders the Gulf. It borders [14:02] Iraq. It borders Turkey. It borders the [14:04] Caucasus. It borders Central Asia, [14:06] Afghanistan, Pakistan. It has access to [14:08] the Caspian Sea and the Indian Ocean. [14:11] And it has, of course, some of the [14:12] largest oil and gas reserves on the [14:14] planet. And despite everything the [14:16] regime has done to suppress it, it also [14:18] has one of the most educated, talented, [14:20] and pro-Western populations in the [14:22] Middle East. Now, imagine the Iranian [14:24] regime falls. Imagine a pro-Western [14:27] democratic Iran. Imagine the Iran that [14:30] Reza Pahlavi, the Crown Prince, is has [14:32] been describing in his public [14:33] statements, led by him or not. Imagine [14:36] that you have an Iran that recognizes [14:38] Israel, [14:39] that ends support for terrorism, that [14:41] becomes a reliable a pro-Western energy [14:44] supplier. [14:46] Suddenly, you have 90 million people, [14:48] enormous oil and gas wealth, massive [14:50] strategic landmass, all in the hands of [14:52] a Western ally. [14:54] Now, let's think again about the IMEC [14:57] corridor. Wait a second. If the IMEC [15:01] corridor is supposed to run from India [15:05] from India and then it's going to do a [15:07] little bit on on the water to get over [15:09] to the Emirates, then through Saudi [15:11] Arabia and up through Jordan Israel [15:13] because you got to bypass Iran, what if [15:16] Iran is pro-Western? Then you don't need [15:18] Saudi Arabia. [15:22] You don't need Saudi Arabia at all. [15:25] You have options. Saudi Arabia becomes [15:27] less important. [15:29] The reason that the IMEC corridor has to [15:31] go through Saudi Arabia is because Iran [15:32] is a pariah. [15:35] The most direct and most efficient land [15:37] route from India to the Gulf to Europe [15:39] runs through Iran. You don't need to go [15:41] around. You don't need Saudi Arabia's [15:43] cooperation. [15:45] So, a pro-Western Iran plugged into the [15:48] IMEC corridor doesn't just make the [15:50] corridor more efficient. It makes Saudi [15:52] Arabia less important. [15:55] They don't become irrelevant, but they [15:56] become less important. The strategic [15:58] leverage is not there anymore. Their [16:00] ability to play all sides as they've [16:03] been doing forever [16:04] goes away. [16:06] The United States no no longer needs to [16:08] court them all the time and tolerate [16:09] their games. [16:11] This is why the Saudis want a weakened [16:13] Iranian regime, not an eliminated [16:16] collapsed Iranian regime. They want it [16:18] degraded and contained, [16:21] but they want it to remain. [16:24] Um [16:25] Now, look at this. This week, Saudi [16:28] Arabia has been lobbying Washington to [16:31] de-escalate with Iran. [16:33] To back off the maximum pressure, to [16:35] negotiate. This is from a country that [16:37] was reportedly pushing for the hardest [16:39] possible line on Tehran just months ago [16:42] with their own authorized leaks to the [16:44] New York Times saying the Saudi Crown [16:45] Prince was urging Trump to continue the [16:47] campaign. [16:48] Right? And this tells you everything. [16:50] They're constantly playing both sides, [16:52] switching sides, [16:53] going back and forth. [16:55] Because they want Iran weak, but they [16:57] don't want Iran gone. [16:59] That's that's the key point here. [17:02] And this is where the UAE land bridge [17:04] comes straight back in because the UAE [17:06] is building for the world where Iran is [17:08] gone, where a pro-Western Iran [17:11] eventually plugs into the IMEC network [17:13] directly, and where the UAE, having [17:16] built the infrastructure in Jordan and [17:18] elsewhere in this new order, is still a [17:21] big player in it. [17:24] Okay? [17:25] Saudi Arabia wants de-escalation, not [17:28] primarily because they're afraid of [17:30] Iranian missiles. They're not so afraid [17:32] of them, although that's real. They're [17:34] lobbying for de-escalation because [17:36] they're afraid of what it will look like [17:39] if there's real peace with a peaceful [17:42] pro-Western Iran, with there's real [17:43] regime change. [17:45] That's the subtext of everything going [17:47] on right now. And the UAE's OPEC exit, [17:49] which was timed to this precise moment, [17:52] while the whole question of where what's [17:54] going to happen with Iran and while the [17:56] Saudis are are pressuring the Americans [17:58] to back off of Iran, [18:00] they're they did this now. [18:02] It's it's the UAE saying out loud, [18:05] "We're building for the new order." [18:08] And they're betting on the Iranian [18:09] regime falling. So, what does this leave [18:11] Saudi Arabia? [18:14] So, they've been watching the UAE build [18:15] this new architecture for years. The [18:17] Abraham Accords, [18:19] right? The UAE signed them, the Saudis [18:21] didn't. The normalization with Israel, [18:23] the IMEC corridor that the UAE is a [18:26] center is a center is a central player [18:28] in. [18:31] And then there's the Jordanian [18:32] investment and the Aqaba port rights [18:34] because they're because they're part of [18:35] the US-aligned [18:37] system. [18:39] These are all laying the foundation. [18:42] This is the UAE laying the foundation [18:44] and the Saudis are just watching. And [18:46] now they exit OPEC. UAE walks away from [18:49] OPEC. The cartel that Saudi Arabia [18:51] controls and has dominated for six [18:53] decades just lost its third largest [18:56] oil-producing member. [19:00] Right? The normalization deal with [19:02] Israel [19:04] and Saudi Arabia has been sitting on the [19:06] table. Saudi Arabia has been demanding [19:08] formal security guarantees from the [19:10] United States, a pathway to a [19:12] Palestinian state, all kinds of [19:14] preconditions. [19:15] And those demands have kept [19:16] normalization frozen. [19:18] But here's the pressure that's building. [19:20] The UAE is building a new Middle East [19:22] with Jordan, with Israel, [19:24] with American backing through IMEC, [19:26] which then connects to Israel's [19:28] alliances with Cyprus and Greece. [19:31] There's a whole new new alignment being [19:33] built. [19:37] And and it has American backing. And [19:39] every month that Saudi Arabia holds out [19:41] is another month that the infrastructure [19:42] of the new order gets built around them [19:45] rather than with them. [19:47] At some point, Saudi Arabia has to [19:49] choose. Do they join the new order [19:52] or do they get left out [19:54] while everyone else builds the future [19:57] without them? The UAE's moves, the [19:59] railway, the the port rights, the OPEC [20:02] exit, they're all making that choice [20:04] more urgent and more expensive to delay. [20:07] I've been saying for a while that I [20:09] think Saudi normalization with Israel is [20:11] going to come at some point. I still [20:13] believe that, but I think it's going to [20:14] come not because Saudi Arabia suddenly [20:16] becomes ideologically comfortable with [20:18] it. I think it's going to become because [20:20] they look at what the UAE is building [20:22] and realize that there's a big cost to [20:24] staying out [20:26] and that that cost is higher than [20:28] joining. [20:31] Okay, let me bring this home [20:34] cuz this is ultimately what we're here [20:36] to talk about. The Abraham Accords were [20:38] never just a piece of paper. They were a [20:40] bet. They were a bet that Israel and the [20:43] moderate Arab states could build a [20:45] common future together. Economically, [20:47] strategically, eventually in terms of [20:50] security, which we're already seeing. [20:52] The Abraham Accords were a bet that the [20:54] shared threat of Iran and the jihadists [20:57] and all that [20:59] and and [21:00] that that the share and and the shared [21:02] opportunity of cooperation with Israel [21:05] that all of that was more powerful as a [21:07] as glue in the relationship [21:11] than the decades of Arab rejectionism [21:13] and the Palestinian veto over Arab [21:15] foreign policy. The UAE is proving that [21:17] bet right. [21:20] Okay, they're building pipelines and [21:21] railways and a sovereign wealth fund [21:23] that and port rights [21:25] right? This construction project in [21:26] Jordan, the walking away from [21:29] from a 59-year-old cartel [21:31] rather than accepting the constraints of [21:34] these [21:36] Arab countries, these Arab states that [21:38] are staying in an old paradigm they [21:40] don't want to be a part of anymore. Now, [21:42] think of what this means for Israel. [21:44] The security architecture of the new [21:46] Middle East [21:47] is going to be built around the [21:49] Israel-UAE axis. [21:51] With whatever partners choose to join, [21:53] especially if Iran falls and and is part [21:55] of that, too. [21:56] Jordan's already basically in it [21:58] economically. [21:59] They have a major US Air Force base [22:01] there. They buy their energy from [22:03] Israel, a lot of it. [22:05] The path [22:06] >> [clears throat] [22:06] >> The path is open for Saudi Arabia to [22:08] join. And if Iran's regime eventually [22:10] falls and a pro-Western Iran enters the [22:13] picture, the entire game changes in [22:15] Israel's favor in ways that are almost [22:17] hard to imagine, hard to overstate. [22:20] I've been saying since the beginning [22:21] that we're living through a genuine [22:23] historic realignment in this region. [22:25] It's not just a military campaign. [22:28] Everything's being restructured. The UAE [22:30] The UAE's moves right now are more [22:33] evidence of that. And uh [22:37] you know, that is [22:39] that it's building new relationships. [22:41] So, the mainstream coverage of this [22:43] story, just to sum up, will tell you [22:44] that this is about oil quotas and and [22:47] not wanting to adhere to cartel [22:48] discipline. [22:50] Uh it's about that a little bit. It's [22:51] not really about that. It's about which [22:52] countries are building the new Middle [22:54] East and which ones are trying to [22:56] preserve the old one. [22:57] Right? It's about pipelines and railways [22:59] and port rights and sovereign wealth [23:00] funds [23:02] and and the and the and a historical [23:04] realignment. It's about the It's about a [23:06] Gulf state that made a bet on Israel and [23:09] the Abraham Accords when it wasn't [23:11] fashionable and it's now cashing that [23:13] bet in ways that are going to reshape [23:15] the region for decades. We're going to [23:17] keep watching this closely. There's a [23:19] lot more to say about where Saudi Arabia [23:21] goes from here and what a pro-Western [23:23] Iran might look like. [23:25] And uh I'm going to do more videos on [23:27] that, of of course. So, if you found [23:29] this useful, please share it. A lot of [23:31] people are missing what's actually [23:32] happening in the Middle East and they [23:34] need to understand it. So, please please [23:36] share this with your friends [23:37] and make sure that you're subscribed so [23:39] you don't miss any of uh of the videos [23:41] that are coming. Thank you so much for [23:43] watching. God bless.
