Checkmate in the Gulf: The 4 Real Reasons Trump Was Forced to Blink on Iran

Hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. What if I told you the world's most powerful now military just hit a wall it couldn't break? Because you all know, back in March, the beginning of March 2026, this year of course, Donald Trump did the so-called, now by many standards, the unthinkable a total U-turn on the war with Iran. So, so forget about the headlines. The real story that is now involving the downing of the F-35 or a direct threat to Israel's nuclear core. And don't forget a global oil crisis that almost collapsed the US economy and now is raging in other parts of the world like India, which I will show you some clips of what's going on. So what I'm going to do in this live stream, I'm going to be providing you my own analysis about 3 or 4 key points that I believe what prompt Trump to really take about turn or U-turn or reverse his decision, whatever. Uh, one thing for sure is that the fear of the retaliation from Iran is part of it, but it's not being disclosed. And this is exactly what I'm going to be, uh, stressing in this live stream here. So following the 23-day— now we are entering into 24th day, uh, of the conflict— Donald Trump now is halting the, the war with Iran. Of course, one of the first thing that comes to mind is the failure of the military objectives. You all remember when we started, oh, we want a regime change, We're going to turn everything upside down. And that in itself, this approach to the war, has resulted already in US casualties and damage to American facilities. You have also the Gulf so-called allies pressured for a ceasefire after Iran threatened to destroy their energy infrastructure. And at the same time, Iranian strikes near the critical Israeli nuclear and gas sites, in addition to Dimona, which I did a video for you yesterday, uh, which by the way, uh, just FYI for those who might not, who might not know, we had about 54,000 people watching live when I was doing the live stream for you. So that is testimony to our community. But at the same time, when you think about the Israelis now, this premature about the victory. Same with the Americans. And the bigger of them, of them all, is two things. One is the closure or the failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which sparks, as I said, economic strain for many countries, especially in the energy. And the other thing has to do with the several or severe domestic political turmoil, both in Tel Aviv and in Washington. So the way I'm going to structure this live stream here for you, I'm going to do a translation for you, very brief, because it's a long, long interview, but I'm not going to play it in its entirety. Then I'll move into my own analysis, and I'll conclude with a conclusion and play some clips for you towards the end. So make sure, please, to stay with me towards the end. So let's take a listen at this particular, uh, uh, uh clips here. In the, in the latest developments, Iran Television cited official sources reported that Tehran has rejected the terms of the proposed US peace plan aimed at ending the war. For its part, the Iranian channel Press TV reported that Tehran has outlined its conditions for accepting any cessation of hostilities. These conditions include a complete halt to aggression and assassinations, the establishment of mechanism to ensure that war is not reimposed upon Iran, and demands for war— for war reparations, as well as the end to the conflict on all fronts, including those involving factions allied with Tehran throughout the region. What it's saying is, uh, furthermore, Tehran conditions call for international recognition of its sovereign rights to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz, backed by clear guarantees. Joining us from Tehran to discuss this development is Dr. Ahmed Bashmas— Bashnas, I'm sorry— a professor of political science and international relations. Welcome, Dr. Ahmed. In your opinion regarding the Iran stance, has Tehran definitely settled on a position in refusing to negotiate, or does its current stance remain ambiguous, perhaps adopting a strategy of calculated ambiguity at this stage? Greetings to you and to our esteemed viewers. The matter is entirely settled. There will be no negotiations, Nor is there any utility in negotiating with the party that lacks self-respect and shows no respect for the negotiation process itself. We have engaged in negotiations with them twice, specifically with the Trump administration, and on both occasions they launched attacks against us while negotiations were still underway. Consequently, there is absolutely no evidence that could convince the Iranian officials to place their trust in a negotiator or to embark on a third round of talks. Moreover, they assassinated a senior Iranian official. I can tell you with certainty that no politician in Iran is willing to jeopardize their political, uh, future by entering into negotiations that they know in advance are destined to fail. Yes, I understand. Now, in your opinion, Iran has put forward a set of conditions, 5 conditions to be precise, one of which involve assuming control over the administration of the Strait of Hormuz. How realistic do you consider this Iranian proposal to be? Furthermore, does it not appear to overlook certain realities and consequences of this ongoing conflict? Um, no, first, regarding the Strait of Hormuz— regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has no need, meaning that those who circulated this information may have been mistaken, for anyone to acknowledge its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. However, the remaining conditions are indeed accurate. And I'm gonna stop, uh, right here because, uh, I have to cover the analysis. I just wanted to play a brief clip for you to put things in perspective as we move forward in this conversation. Now, to move into my own analysis about how I see it from a geopolitical perspective, there are a lot of moving parts, so I'm gonna share 3 or 4 points. The first one of why Donald Trump had— did a complete U-turn on this. Of course, I am— I believe this is my own opinion. I believe that the fear of the retaliation from Iran— we saw so far what Iran is able to do inside Israel, and that means the any military installations within the region is of reach to the Iranian missiles. You remember that, uh, picture I shared with you back then about— here is about the range of Iran missiles. Yeah, nothing is off limits to Iran's missile in the region. And that is one of the calculations Donald Trump is thinking. So the first one, the first point I'm going to share with you is the military failure. So despite the high-end tech, like for example the B-2 stealth bomber, the US couldn't actually hit its targets. Because why? So far because the Iran government didn't crumble. And as a matter of fact, Iran's missile program still intact. And even worse, the US now took the PR hit, especially when the F-35 was forced down and several other military— US military facilities were destroyed. And I use the term destroyed because I saw some images of the Al Udeid base in Qatar And when you look at— when you think about the 14 deaths and hundreds of injuries in just 3 weeks, so the quick win Trump wanted turned into a costly stalemate. That's one. Second one will be the Gulf States. The, the, the, uh, I don't know what you call them. You guys decide to use the term that is appropriate for those leaders. We're not talking about the people. We're talking about the leaders of those countries. So the Gulf states, Trump allies in the Gulf, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and etc., were initially along for the ride. But things got real when Iran released a target bank of their energy plants, or plants rather. And that is exactly where it was a wake-up call for them. Now, there is one information that is circulating right now on YouTube. I want to clarify it for you. It is not true that the Saudis are joining the Americans in fighting Iran. That is not true. So be careful of what you watch. I'm seeing some, uh, clips that people put in, images of Netanyahu being dead, is assassinated. Come on, people, stop playing with the, with the, with this stuff. It's not real, it's not true. But the fact is that for the Gulf states, the threat of losing their power grid, for example, the threat of losing oil infrastructure, that in itself created a panic inside the Gulf states. And that's when now these nations, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman to a degree, Jordan, it's useless anyway. Egypt is whatever. Egypt, it just goes with whatever the wind is. This is why these nations realized that while Trump was safe in DC, those countries were in a splash zone— another word, in a hot zone. And that is why they pressured the US to stop before their economies were permanently reset to the Stone Age. There is a possibility to that. My argument Like I stated in my, uh, in my book, and when I wrote my, uh, Saudi book, I brought this point, and here is what I wrote. I'm going to share it with you. Let us put the statements within the context of how Saudi Arabia uses religion to control the domestic agenda. One does not, one does not have to look far to realize how the twisted interpretation of Islam's Wahhabist clerics funded by the Saudi government aims at two things: one, blaming the West for all its social ills and preventing Saudi youth from learning about the world and integrating. In consequences, Saudi youth are forced to accept those interpretations, which in turn suppresses any domestic uprising and guarantees the survival and stability of the Al Saud monarchy. And he was an author, and I disclosed his reference in my book. John Bradley, uh, was a journalist who worked in Saudi Arabia, and when he disclosed that for 7 decades, generation after generation of Saudis has grown up being told at school by Wahhabi-inspired teachers that the West is the source of all evil At the same time, they have been forced to accept also without question that the very survival of the kingdom's ruling elite and the developments of infrastructure is entirely dependent on the intimate cooperation with the West. How do you reconcile— how to reconcile the pride, even arrogance, of the former with at least the implicit admission of weakness of the latter. Saudi youth partake in the bounty of the West. We are able to buy the latest consumer goods, which exposes them all the more easily to its temptations. That's exactly what I argued. Why you're gonna see now the swings within the population in the Gulf States? Because the Gulf States are saying How this came about is because the presence of the American forces on our ground. Will it make more sense to ask the American to move so we can live in peace? Yes, it does. Will the leaders in United Arab Emirates, uh, uh, uh, and Qatar and Kuwait and Bahrain do it? I have my doubts. What do you think? And this is exactly where I see this trajectory moving forward. If the truth matters to you, hit like, subscribe, and tap that bell. No spin, no agenda, just the stories they don't want you to know. So don't watch from the sideline. Be part of the movement. Your support keeps the truth alive. Thank you very much. Indeed. Thank you for your support. Now let's move to the third point, and the third point, this is crucial. This has to do with the protection of Israel. But the game is over. Moment came when Iranian missiles started landing near the Dimona nuclear reactor, like I explained to you yesterday, and in addition to other major gas fields like Leviathan, which I didn't talk about in details because Dimona was more important. But in Washington, there is an unwritten rule And I'm gonna share it with you. Anybody who works inside the government in Washington, especially if you go into sensitive positions in the military intelligence and so forth, you will understand. And the unwritten rule is this: if Israel's core survival or energy grid is at risk, the strategy has to change. Let me repeat that. This is the unwritten rule in Washington. If Israel's core survival or energy grid is at risk, the strategy has to change. So to prevent Israel from being, uh, plunged into darkness and complete destruction and facing a multi-year economic collapse, this is part of why Trump had to pull the plug on the escalation. He is forced to do so. I will be releasing a video on Sunday. Make sure to watch that video. I did specifically an analysis about this point, so make sure to watch it. You have a better understanding. And number 4 is the global economic chaos and domestic heat. Trump couldn't keep the Strait of Hormuz open. That's one. And like I said yesterday, the Strait of Hormuz ain't— is not completely closed. No, the Strait of Hormuz is closed to the Americans, to the Israelis, and to any other nation that is taking part of the war against Iran. But it's open to others. Excuse me. Of course, they have to pay in the Chinese renminbi or yuan. Now, Trump couldn't, as I said, keep the Strait of Hormuz open, which caused now global oil prices to explode. They hit the American right at the gas pump. That is the harsh reality. Uh, I wish I had the picture. No, I don't. Sorry, I thought I had a picture to show you, but, uh, it's okay. And they hit now American right at the gas pump with the 2026 midterm elections around the corner. It's going to be in November. Even Trump's usual supporters You know, Tucker Carlson, Joe Kentz, you know, they started turning on him. And facing a total loss of power in Congress and tanking US economy, this is part also why he chooses a U-turn to save his political future. And to highlight to you this particular point, I'm gonna share some clips as I mentioned earlier because those are very short, just to show you the chaos the lack of access to energy now it's causing inside some countries. Uh, let me play this one here first. Bear with me here, guys. All right, I'm gonna share the screen and I want you to take a look. There we go. This is in India, and the fight was about gas stations because it was not enough, uh, sort of locations to get into, uh, to get gas. And you start to see now fighting erupts inside, uh, gas stations because people are having, having a hard time, uh, finding, uh— I'm gonna share a clip with you here. All right, hold on a second here, please. Let me just do it. And that was shared with me, uh, with Matt. Thank you very much, Matt, for sharing this one here. Take a look. That's in India. And this is why I'm saying last time, you know, you can't trust India, especially when it betrayed Iran by providing the coordinates. And second, to those who have been arguing India should play a role as a mediator, is the last thing you want. Literally is the last thing you want. Now, when you think in terms of this brief analysis, I'm going to keep it short here because I, I just wanted to share with you my own insights regarding this. What these changes and the U-turn— because Donald Trump has realized now the, the, the presence of the US, the credibility of the US, the security of the US is all collapsing. And that in itself will create some regional power vacuum because the failed deterrence. Do you know that the Gerald Ford aircraft carrier now is going to be out of service for about 2 and a half years, to my knowledge? This is not because it was a mechanical error. No, it's because it came under attack from Iran and we decided to move the aircraft carrier because, you know, sinking a $13 billion aircraft carrier— optics matter in international relations. And this is why the military solution has not neutralized Iran's government. Instead, instead, it has created some sort of Some will say some security vacuum that the Sunni extremist group will exploit. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. The Sunni extremists will do whatever they do because some of those Sunni extremists are supported by both the US and the local Arab or Muslim countries in that region. Where you're going to see moving is part of this change into the geopolitical landscape is the Gulf realignment. What lies ahead for the Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates? Because now it's going to have— they're going to have for their own survival— when I say their own, I'm referring to the leadership, the monarchies, which is a shame on them because they should put their people first. But the survival, they're going to have now to move away from a total compliance and alignment with Washington, especially after seeing what happened at what Iran is capable of doing. And once again, Iran made it clear that it has nothing against its neighbors. Where the problem is, is with the presence of the American bases from which— from where, I'm sorry, the missiles have been launched at Iran are located on those, uh, neighbors, uh, countries. And this is why those leaders in the Gulf will have to decide, are you representing your people, the welfare of your people, your own interest, or are you being submissive to the American pressure and Israeli pressure for that matter, especially United Arab Emirates. And the other thing has to do with the safe haven. This is the myth, if I may use the term, The narrative that the Gulf states are permanently stable destination for global investments and tourism has been irreversibly shaken now and broken. Makes you now wonder when Monaco is going to become now the next Dubai. You move into the energy and economic fragmentation regarding this, also part of this, uh, plan of Donald Trump's U-turn. It's because the strategic choke point, especially when it comes down to the Strait of Hormuz, and you all know this by now, uh, we're talking about 20-21% of the global oil that transit and, and LNG, liquefied natural gas, go through it, uh, through there. We're also talking about— I had a chance to read an estimate by, uh, JP Morgan. This is from a risk assessment department, it's internal stuff. They are projecting that the possibility of oil reaching about $200 a barrel Can you imagine what it's going to do to you and me, average people? And but on the other side, because there's only two sides of the story, one a winner, one a loser. The winner in this is going to be Russia and China. Windfall. Russia is currently primarily benefiting, benefiting from this. Why? Because using $110 oil spike, and I hope they can I don't know how much they charge in India for this, but, uh, India was getting a very, very cheap oil from Russia. Maybe Russia needs to rethink that. Then China, on the other hand, China is accelerating its pivot to overland energy supplies from Russia to bypass the vulnerable maritime routes, deepening the Euro-Asian Axis. This is also another thing that I see moving forward the next 5, 10, 15 years is the Central Asia and the role it's going to play, especially in the global energy security. That's the way I see it. And the last point into this has to do with the industrialization of Europe. Surging energy costs are now forcing permanent shutdown in chemical and steel manufacturers across the UK, across the EU, and threatening some sort of technical recessions Uh, some forecasts that I read suggesting by probably last quarter of this year, November, October, November, December, somewhere around that. All this, we are not going to ignore the cyber aspects of it because there is a cyber offensive into all this, and that's part of this geopolitical-driven new environment. The other one has to do with the food security. You can ignore that either. Fertilizer and access to grain, which all— because the maritime blockade that has triggered now grocery supply emergencies. And I'm just providing you an over, uh, uh, view of really where the issues are. And the last thing before I'll do my conclusion here, it has to do with the US domestic and diplomatic strains, because what we find in ourselves now is that the US is isolated. It's not Iran. Iran is capable of defending itself, and I'm going to show you some clips about the production of Iran's missile. It's like we producing food on a daily basis. That's how much, how many missiles Iran has. But the problem with the US is this, is this: the unilateral nature of the US strikes has strained ties with other allies. And it's gonna be, as a matter of fact, have now a long-term decline of the US dollar as markets move towards safe havens like gold. This is why the Iranians are asking any ship that passing by, you're gonna have to pay up in the Chinese yuan. That's basically a subtle way of the, uh, really, really reducing the petrodollar into, uh, sort of, it will become irrelevant at some point. That's the way I see. Those are the key points. As I said, I'm gonna keep this very, very short, but those are the key points I wanted to share with you. So I'm gonna share my conclusion for you, and I'm gonna do 3 clips because from now on, at least till this conflict settles, I will be doing a clip or 2 towards the end just to Give you an idea. I know someone make a, uh, some irrelevant comments which I did not appreciate. Uh, he or she has the right as long as you don't cross the line. And the line was, is that I am doing these clips when I share them with you, it's just nothing but to allure you, and it's a marketing strategy. And that's, to me, it's insulting. So to that person I will say please refrain from this. And if you have nothing of substance to contribute to our community, I will greatly appreciate if you could unsubscribe. Straightforward. We don't need individuals like that. So here's my conclusion for you about this before I share the clips with you. Trump's U-turn, in my opinion— again, those are my, my own opinion analysis— proves that in 2026 that the raw military power that the US has expo— has sort of flaunted and all that is not enough to rewrite the geopolitical map. Because you remember what Trump was saying, we're gonna obliterate Iran, we're gonna change the government, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that, and I will be the one to appoint the new next leader of— supreme leader of Iran. That's, that's, that's delusional, Mr. President. You need to come to grip with the reality, and those people surrounding you need to have some gut to stand up and tell you the truth that you don't want to hear. So between failing strikes, a global energy crisis, and a mountain— mounting pressure right here at home, so the cost of this war simply become too high to pay. So far we spent over $27 billion plus. But this is— this— the question becomes, is this a permanent peace or is it just a 5-day breather? How can you trust the US government? Because that's the truth. We've done it before. Remember, Iranians now are smart enough to know what's need to be done. All right, let me share the first clip with you. Uh, this one is about an information that, uh, circulating before. I didn't know it at that time. Checked, confirmed, turns out to be true. And this has to do with the, uh, Mujtaba al-Khamenei. So I'll let you take a listen quickly here in Arabic language, and I will do the translation for you. Okay, let's, uh, let me just translate to you. Mujtaba Khamenei has been secretly transferred to Russia. A source close to Iranian new Supreme Leader has lifted the veil on a hidden truth, and the details are far more alarming than anticipated. He traveled aboard a Russian military aircraft during a highly clandestine operation necessitated by his critical health condition. US and Israel airstrikes has rendered his medical treatment in Iran virtually impossible. It was at this juncture that Moscow intervened. Sources confirm that Putin offered to take him in for medical care following a direct telephone conversation with the Iranian president immediately upon his arrival, he underwent emergency surgery. He is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital located within one of the presidential palaces under tight security and the joint supervision of the Russian and Iranian physicians. This is a secret saga that, if proven true, could reveal hidden realities far more dangerous than anything we could know. Very, very crucial development. Why is this important to understand? Is because where, uh, Mojtaba Khamenei is thinking to move forward with the nuclear program. Forget about— I think what his dad, uh, the late Ali Khamenei, was doing. His dad was kind of moderate in a sense. Mojtaba is not. As a matter of fact, the old new leadership coming up to, to, to helm of power, they won't have it with the Americans or the Israelis. That is what's important. Second thing I want to share with you within this context, why I found it important to understand, uh, that what Mujtaba Khamenei is thinking in, in the long term, it's going to have a major impact on the trajectory of the Middle East moving forward. And the US will stand, or Israel for that matter, We stand no chance, and I say this very, very carefully. They will stand no chance into all this. Let's take a look at, uh, I'm sorry, let's listen to this, and I am going to provide you the translation. All right, what, uh, the translation for this is that thousands of missiles lie buried underground, yet only 3 of them constitute a true nightmare for any air defense systems in the world. Do you know Iran's triangle of terror? In third place is the Khaybar Shekan, a long-range sniper with a reach of about 1,450 kilometers, designed to be lightweighted and possess a tremendous speed. It slices through defensive shields like a knife through butter. In a second place is the Emad, the first Iranian ballistic missile capable of being guided right up until the moment of impact. Its precision is such that its margin of error is mere meters from the target. And taking first place is the Fattah-1, a hypersonic missile that flies at 15 times the speed of sound. No radar can detect it, and no interceptor missile can catch it. It is a balance-breaking weapon, an arsenal that promises to make the next war entirely different. Do you believe there is any air defense system capable of halting this deluge? Very important. And once again, why am I sharing this with you? To put it in a perspective with what we talked about earlier, why Donald Trump is taking a complete U-turn from his, uh, threats, uh, about, uh, to Iran. And with this, I am going to do— remember last time I shared a clip with you, and I'm going to redo it again because I intend to provide you, as promised, once certain information becomes available to me, uh, and confirm it, I'm going to share with you about this weapon and the one I just, uh, uh, displayed for you here. This is why I wanted to, uh, share those clips with you to put it in perspective. Okay, now, uh, let me just say thank you, first of all, uh, to the community. Uh, as I said last time, we had about 54,000 people were watching live as of yesterday, uh, and that's to me sort of when you let that sink in. Why? Because it's not just a number. You're talking about hungry minds, those minds that are hungry for the truth. And I did post something for the community to read, so please go to the community tab and check out the post that I put yesterday. You are talking about these 54,000 minds that are hungry for truth, that are committed to the real conversation we have here in our community. And this is the, for me, the reason why I do what I do. As I told you, I gave up teaching at the university here to do this one here. Because why? We've built a community together, especially now in an environment where media is just giving you a sort of cherry-picking the information. The world is drowning in noise, shallow takes, and manufactured narrative like that clip that I saw earlier on YouTube, that's Netanyahu is assassinated. Come on, man. So, and the difference between this channel and others is because we chose something different. You and I, all of us, we choose substance over rhetoric. We choose depth over just superficial. And we choose truth and honesty. And above all, we choose each other because that's the only support we have. And this is why I urge you, if this is your first time here, I will greatly appreciate if you could subscribe and share the channel with others and encourage them to subscribe. Why? Because we want to reach every corner of the world. There might be someone out there who needs to hear this conversation and hasn't found us yet. They are out there, I am sure of it. Searching, looking for something meaningful of substance to listen to. And this is why it's also— you play a role into this. It's not just me, you play a role into this. Whatever way you support the channel, it's up to you. So help me make this to every corner of this planet, because truth doesn't have borders. As I wrote, and neither should we. And that's why I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. Uh, what I'm gonna do for the community, uh, just to let you know, well, especially I do it for the members, I am gonna do a live Q&A for the members soon. I don't know when yet, I have to look at my calendar and figure out the time, and, and especially about what's going on in the war in Iran, Middle East, and so forth. And it's the right thing to do for members who have been supporting the channel, both the ones on YouTube members and the one on Buy Me a Coffee members. I have a few members on, on that platform, and soon I will be doing the Substack. Substack, for now I'm just gonna be open it to everybody. I will be posting my analysis there, written one, for now till later on, and we'll decide, uh, should we, if we want to move into that direction. So, but for now, I, I have so much on my plate, and I am working diligently to ensure, uh, that, uh, it is the link for Substack. If you wanted to subscribe to that, I will be posting some analysis there, and later on we'll decide how we want to do moving forward. The same I will do with TikTok, except that TikTok already took down one of my clips because I said the truth. And that gives me a hint again. I know TikTok is not, uh, it's owned a certain percentage by the Americans, so, so I can see why that is. And I take this opportunity once again to say thank you to, uh, Ramzi Abdurrahman for buying me, uh, cups of teas in support of my upcoming, uh, trip to Asia. And I also want to thank, uh, uh, Tisfay Asma Mao, thank you so much for your generosity. Uh, I'm not going to disclose the number of how many cups Tasfay bought me here in support of the channel. So I want you to know, Tasfay, I am so grateful for supporting the channel and the content that I create here. Uh, SC Lee, also an avid supporter of the channel. I, I remember, and I still have the record of SC Lee, first donation to the channel, some about 2 and a half years ago. And that shows you, uh, and to me, I am so grateful to our community for this. This is why, again, and I'm overwhelmed with gratitude from all of you. Doesn't matter you, you support the channel or not, you are here in our community, you are part of this. And that's to me gives me gratitude and, and want to express that to you because he means something to me. We all in on all this together, so how you want to move about it, it's your decision moving forward. Uh, I'm going to be working on, again, on other stories for you, uh, moving forward, especially the military one, because it's very crucial to understand. And also, I am confirming one statements from the Defense Minister of Russia regarding the specific types of missile Iran has. Iran did not show everything yet. And what Israel and the US did, it's, it's a stupidity of the highest order. They underestimated Iran, and now they're going to be paying the price for it. So I look forward to seeing you, uh, tomorrow. Once again, thank you for being here, and please make sure to share this video with others. As always, remember, geopolitics impact your daily life in more ways than one. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I can't do this. Sorry, I have to take this back. I gotta say thank you to Muhammad, uh, for becoming a channel member. Truly appreciate you for that. Army with Harmony, I can't thank you enough, man, man, for really, uh, getting or gifting, uh, memberships to others in the community. So grateful to you for that. Martel, I can't thank you enough again for your support. Bibi is dead. He was hit on 3/2, flown to Germany. I was aware of the trip to Germany but not about Bibi, and died on the 9th. His plane, the Wings of Desire, is still in Germany, has not moved in 24 days. If it is the case, I know people in Germany, I can confirm this, uh, but so far, at least my contacts in DC couldn't confirm that he's dead. And, and I'll, I'll check, I'll check on this to make sure. And the last person I want to give thanks to is Misa 007, who become a YouTube member. To the YouTube members, make sure to join me for this upcoming Q&A, which I'm going to set up, uh, soon, and I will let you know. Once again, thank you very much for being here, and I look forward to seeing you next time. Bye-bye.
