Nobody Saw This Coming: Iran's New Supreme Leader Just Shocked The World

Hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trend, where truth matters. They killed his father, his mother, his wife, and his sister. And though Iran will sort of— the, the, the expectations what Iran will surrender, instead they created now, meaning the US and Israel, created a supreme leader with nothing left to lose and a nation for that matter that is rallying behind him more than the US and Israel could have even imagined. So what you have, Mujtaba Khamenei ain't negotiating with the West or the US for that matter. And he is not retreating. He is coming forward for everything. This is exactly the miscalculation that Donald Trump and Israel did, and now they're gonna be paying the price, including the Arab states or the Gulf states, that is. So in this live stream, I'm gonna be providing you a translation of a particular clip, and I'll do a brief analysis and conclude with that. Tomorrow I will be addressing specifically the GCC or the Gulf states as to where things are headed for them. As a matter of fact, to my knowledge, Dubai now is shut down. United Arab Emirates is begging the Arab and the Muslim world. And by the way, where were you when Gaza was bombed to Stone Age? So funny how these Muslim leaders' hypocrisy— I just, I just, I don't— it's beyond, uh, uh, uh, description here. And here is a thought-provoking for you. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain to a degree, Kuwait to a degree, they all told Iran they wanted no part of this war. This is where this hypocrisy is. Then why are the US bombers taking off from their soil? Like I've argued since the beginning of this war, Iran is not going to let up on targeting US bases on the Gulf states' territories or soil. So you have now Gulf states are learning the hard way that you cannot host a US and call yourself neutral. That's just nonsense. And Iran is making sure that these countries will pay the price for that lie. That is exactly where you are seeing. So, and, and I don't want— I do not want to overwhelm the information. That's why today I want to talk about the Moushtaba Khamenei's statements that he's not going to surrender and he is not negotiating. Then tomorrow I'll mention the Gulf States, but tomorrow I will detail, uh, exactly, uh, what's going on with this. But the first clip I want to play with you is— and I'm not going to play it in its entirety It's the Donald Trump speech last night to the nation. Did I listen to it in its entirety? No. As a matter of fact, I didn't even listen to it at all for a simple reason. I know two things that's going to come up. One is going to be bragging with lies. Oh, we are on the verge of destroying Iran and so forth. And second, he's going to lie about the economy as well, how great our economy is. And third, for why it's— I have no respect for the guy when you are lying to people to their faces. You know, respect is earned. The respect is not taken by force, or you, you coerce other people to respect you. No, no, no, no, no, is earned. And for me, and I don't speak for others and my fellow Americans here, I have no respect for the guy. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna listen to a clip, then I'm gonna let— then we'll move on into what we need to do. But before I'll do this, I want just to highlight a few key things. Because we're not going to listen to the entire clip, uh, clip is too long, and I'll provide you the link for that. What I was interested in is the articles that I read regarding this, and I came across one specific article written by, uh, Bill Kristol, Bill Kristol or William Kristol. He's a well-known author here in the US. Then you have Andrew Eager and Jim Swift. All three, they wrote a comprehensive article. I had a chance to read it, and here is what I'm saying in quote: We are going to finish the job and we are going to finish it very fast. End of quote. Good luck with that. He also said, and I quote Donald Trump, that is, we are on track to complete all of America's military objective shortly, very shortly. End of quote. It tells you right there the lie to the— to our faces, to the whole nation. And this is why even Trump is eager to have the American people understand that this war is so very much nearing completion, which is not because the idea that what he sold for the last 2, 3 weeks and what's been noticed here in America to those who are familiar with American domestic politics, his popularity is taking a nosedive beyond what you can even imagine. As a result, Trump wants out, and that's why last night when he gave the speech lying about it, of course, giving the promise. I mean, are you gonna trust any politicians in Washington when he or she promise American people? And that's what he's promised. He promised Americans over and over that he will be out soon out of the war. Good luck with that, because here is the harsh reality according to this article, and I couldn't agree more, that Trump doesn't want the American people to think too hard about the lack of justification for the war because it's not our war. We conducting all this on behalf of Israel. It's, it's no secret. No, he doesn't want anyone to dwell on the fact that there was no imminent threat from Iran or that Trump didn't obtain authorization to go to war from Congress because Congress didn't give one. He doesn't want the American people to focus on what his administration's conduct of the war has shown about its lack of character and competence. When you go and target a school of little girls, 168, What does it have to do with war? What do little girls have to do with war? Why would you even target a school? And by the way, once again, I found out that the missile was launched from United Arab Emirates. The first time I said Bahrain, and I, I, I hold myself responsible to this because that was the information available to me at that time. Later on, I contacted whomever I need to contact and find out that Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, Mr. O, the missile wasn't from Bahrain, it was from United Arab Emirates. And this is where Trump is coming to divert the attention as much as possible from the real-world consequences of his war, because now it became his war. It's going to go down in, in history as the worst, worst president ever who dragged America into a war. Let's take a quick listen here, and again, I'm not playing I have it on a specific timestamp, and we'll take a listen to this.

Which is now absolutely destroyed, hurting their air force and their missile program at levels never seen before, and annihilating their defense industrial base. We've done all of it. Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, their missiles are just about— used up or beaten. Taken together, these actions will cripple Iran military, crush their ability to support terrorist proxies, and deny them the ability to build a nuclear bomb. Our armed forces have been extraordinary. There's never been anything like it militarily. Everyone is talking about it. And tonight, I'm pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion. As we celebrate this progress, we think especially of the 13 American warriors who have laid down their lives in this fight to prevent our children from ever having to face a nuclear Iran. Twice this past month, I have traveled to Dover Air Force Base, and it's been something. I wanted to be with those heroes as they returned All right, I'm gonna stop right there because it starts to be nonsense.

Exactly for why I wanted to just share this quick clip with you. What I'm gonna share with you, uh, on the chat box is the link to the article, not the clip. If should you decide, uh, to read the article, which I will highly recommend, uh, and here is the link, you can read it later on. Now let's move on to our, uh, what we are going to be talking about in, in this particular, uh, livestream. And this has to do about Iran's announcements from, and according to the rules of the Supreme Leader, Mousavi Khamenei, is that what are the option— military options and where Iran stands on the negotiations. So let me share the, uh, screen with you here. I'll do the translation, then I'll move into my brief analysis, and we'll conclude with this one. Okay, here it is, and let me just move this one out, and we'll start. What it says right there in Arabic is urgent or break-ins. Let's take a listen here, please. In breaking news, just in, the deputy speaker of the Iranian Parliament, uh, states that, um, the authority to decide on matters of war, peace, and negotiations rests with the Supreme Leader, and that he has not yet authorized any negotiations. As a result, to reiterate, the decision regarding war, peace, and negotiations fall within the prerogatives of the Supreme Leader, and he has not granted authorization for negotiations as of yet. This is the statement made by the Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament. Okay, let's continue here. Uh, joining us now from Tehran, uh, Al Arabi TV correspondent Hazim Kallas. Hazim, welcome to the program. Naturally, we will follow up with you regarding developments on the ground, particularly following multiple statements from the Israeli side earlier this morning claiming the completion of a wave of strikes targeting infrastructure belonging to the Iranian, uh, regime in Tehran. However, Let us begin perhaps with this breaking news item and the statements made by the Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament. This comes at a time when there was talks of an exchange of messages facilitated through Pakistan mediation, yet now the Deputy Speaker of the Iran Parliament is declaring that the decision regarding war, peace, and negotiations lies solely within the authority of the Supreme Leader and that he has not authorized such actions up to this very moment. Yeah, precisely, Sonia. According to Article 5 and Article 110 of the Iranian Constitution, "The decision regarding war and peace rests in the hands of the Supreme Leader of Iran, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces," as stated by the Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Ali Negzad, in remarks reported by Iranian news agencies earlier this morning, though originally delivered late last night during a public rally in Iran's Markazi Province. The Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Ali Khamenei has not— I mean, Moushtaba, in this case— as of this moment, authorized any negotiations whatsoever. Abbas Araki, the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister, Ismail Bakhi, the Foreign Minister spokesperson, uh, the Foreign Ministry, I'm sorry, spokesperson, and a number of other Iranian officials have clarified with full transparency that the exchange of messages whether conducted directly, as confirmed by Arakchi, a practice that continues during both, both times of peace and war between him and Steve Werikoff, the US special envoy for the Middle East, or exchanged through intermediaries such as Islamabad or others, does not constitute negotiations but rather merely an exchange of messages amounts to nothing more than an exchange of messages, mutual warnings between the two parties. According to Abbas Haraji, negotiations essentially means clearly establishing the conditions for talk, that is, sitting down at the table. Iran, fuck that, it's thicker, be shaky, be bigger, jidden, be jannib al-Amriki. Takul be an alidar al-Amrikiya and kalabat ala tawilat al-mufawadat li Maratain. Iran, ludigat min had al-jahar Maratain, wal an tasma'h be an tul dag marra talitha. Shuroot mu haddada ala natana Iran. Laysat raddan ala al-mukhtarahat al-Lat Yousufat be anaa mukhtarahat al-bunud al-Khamsata Ashar. Regarding negotiations, the conditions for which Iran views as currently unfulfilled. No talks can take place while Israeli-American aggression against Iran persists. Iran has lost a profound amount of trust in the American side. It asserts that the US administration has twice walked away from the negotiating table. Having been bitten from the same hole twice, Iran will not allow itself to be bitten a third time. Iran has announced specific conditions not merely as a counter-response to the proposals described as the US 15-point plan, but rather as prerequisites that in its view must be met for any negotiations to proceed. The first point centers on a complete and comprehensive cessation of aggression across all fronts, ensuring the establishment of peace, or rather sustainable security, that guarantees Iran will not be subjected to aggression again. Furthermore, Iran demands that the aggressor party pay reparations for the damages inflicted upon Iranian facilities and infrastructure. This point was highlighted by the head of the judiciary in a statement earlier this morning, in which he affirmed that the judiciary, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and relevant agencies, will legally and judicially pursue those responsible for the Israeli-American aggression against Iran through international forums. Additionally, the Iranian Red Crescent Society has indicated that it is daily documenting all incidents occurring within Iran specifically the targeting of residential areas and civilian infrastructure, and is submitting this documentation to international organizations including the International Court of Justice. Iran conditions also extend to the Strait of Hormuz. As far as Iran is concerned, Sonia, the status quo in the Strait of Hormuz will not revert to what it was previously. Indeed, any agreements reached must inevitably pass through the Strait of Hormuz. This sentiment was reiterated by Ali Nixad today, building upon statements had he made last evening, which were subsequently reported by Iranian media outlets this morning. For Iran, the Strait of Hormuz is a matter of national sovereignty. Indeed, people across the entire political spectrum in Iran are commending the fact that the country has successfully utilized the Hormuz card in the most effective manner possible to serve its supreme national interest for the country. Consequently, any agreement must pass through the Strait of Hormuz. As for developments on the ground, about an hour or perhaps an hour and a half ago, An explosion was heard in Isfahan, though we do not yet know precisely what it was, based on reports from local media outlets in Isfahan. Furthermore, the Israeli-American strikes targeting the Iranian capital earlier this morning impacted several districts, including Nobonyad in East Tehran, as well as areas towards Shiyan, the, the, and locations in Central Tehran, near the former US Embassy. Strikes were also reported in West Tehran, specifically in the Taraj district. Finally, I would like to note that the Nurses Syndicate has announced that the death toll among nurses resulting from these American-Israeli strikes has reached 10. Additionally, the Tehran Ambulance Organization reported that 25 emergency and ambulance centers have been rendered inoperable due to damage. Of these, 3 centers were completely destroyed, while 23 vehicles sustained damage and 8 ambulances were totally the, uh, were totally destroyed. Uh, I want just to, before I close this one here, we've demolished— I'm sorry, I want to give credit once again to Al Arabiya TV platform. That's the clip from them. Usually they report immediately. Now the point for this, why I want to highlight this to you, to highlight to you that what the American president said last night has nothing to do with the reality on the ground. The fact that he just sort of, uh, spewing lies to the American people. As far as if, if you get a chance to listen to some of his clips, when he's talking about we have no inflation, which is a lie. As a matter of fact, now the gas— the gallon of gas has crossed $4, which is usually for me here in state of Texas is unheard of. We are state that has oil, whatever. We hardly ever see Gas usually, gallon will go above even $2.25. But now we're looking— last night I drove and I saw it at $3.89, and within one day from the morning it was at $3.49, and now it's crossing $4. It just— that's the reason why I wanted to share this with you, to highlight to you how much lies coming out of Washington, Tel Aviv, and even some European, which European are useless for that matter. Now with this leads us to ask the, the key question. The statements of, uh, of, uh, the parliament in Iran, uh, as far as the decisions rest with the Supreme Leader, M. Khamenei. Why is this statement significant? Well, first of all, you're going to have to put in perspective few, I think few weeks ago, if not few months ago, the president of Iran, Masoud Bejishkian, said that he will consider ending the war if there are certain conditions were met. In other words, we can negotiate with the Americans. Remember, you have to understand the structure of the Iranian government. Like I— as I disclosed in my Iran book, I put a full disclosure of the structure of the Iranian government to understand. The president of Iran is not on the same level as the Supreme Leader. And this is why these statements by the parliament, uh, in support of Mojtaba Khamenei is significant. Mojtaba Khamenei's remarks were unlikely to find favor with the Iranian president, but it won't matter. It's because it's the Supreme Leader that decides along with other entities. That doesn't mean he's forcing his way on the president, but he has the final say. Because Massoud Raisi suggested that Iran would consider ending the war if certain conditions were met. A Supreme Leader openly contradicting his own president because he said no negotiations and no retreating. And that is again where you see— now some would interpret this as an internal fracturing, the worst possible moment. Others will say it was just miscommunication. What do you think? I'll let you decide on that. The other thing that the statements, the significance of it by Majdaba Khamenei or the parliament for that matter, is a direct rejection of what the US was hoping for. Because the US was hoping all of— because now it became our war. You don't hear Israel anymore. Israel behind the scenes is saying to the Americans, you know, whatever you do, send your troops, send everything, because Israel can't fight because it's small. Iran will wipe out Israel in no time. I mean, it's a fact. I'm not saying something you don't know. But the fact is that when you think about what the Supreme Leader's first public statements represent, he represented doubling down on Iran's established position. No negotiations and no surrender. So rather than what the Trump administration might have been hoping for, a kind of change in rhetoric from the new Supreme Leader, no, turns out to be the opposite. What we are actually hearing is more of the same. And this is what Donald Trump didn't count on because now the new leadership in Iran, it's taking a different approach than what the late, uh, Ali Khamenei— believe it or not, the US now we realize, you know, when the late Ali Khamenei was alive, he still has some sort of, uh, uh, moderate approach to certain things. This new, uh, uh, group of leaders in Iran forget about negotiations, and rightly so. I mean, how can you trust now negotiations with the Americans? Forget about it. It's done. Move forward with what Iran needs to do to secure its security. So, and the other thing, the important point, is that the Strait of Hormuz is now— is being used as a weapon. Now, there are those who say, and I'm going to show you a map here quickly just to highlight to you, you see here Amman, okay? And you see here the, uh, the, uh, Iran on this side, and the Strait of Hormuz right here in this tight area. Now there is one in the northern part of Oman, belongs to Oman, and the southern part of Iran belongs to Iran. But here is where the key is. Most of the ships, the cargo, oil, and all that, go through the Iranian side, not the Omani side. Because the Iranian side is much sort of wider and deeper, that to my knowledge. That is why Oman is not saying any— anything. And this is where Iran comes in as far as using the Strait of Hormuz as a weapon. And the IRGC have warned that any ship passing through the strait will be targeted. Yes, some of them— some statements that I read, it says the term could be targeted. And that's reference to, in my opinion, if there is any— if IRGC found out that any cargo that is passing with a different flag is in support of Israel or the US. That's why they use the term "could." As far as the ships or cargoes for China or other friendly countries, no, those are passing. And that in itself reinforcing now the fear that the waterway is being used as a pressure point in the wider conflict. We all know, I'm sure you, whatever part of the world you're in, you are noticing the hike in the oil energy prices. So the growing disruption pushed now the International Energy Agency, the IEA, and the major consuming nations to release about 400 million barrels from strategic reserves. That's just part of it. And the other thing about the significance of Mujtaba'a statements is that he vowed an open-ended revenge. That's to me very concerning because now Iran is not going to let up. That's why Donald Trump in his statements yesterday was saying, oh, we almost destroy missile— Iran's missiles, whatever. He is lying. You know, the president of America is a liar, straightforward. Iran has massive amount of missiles buried underground somewhere, and that is why Khamenei, Mujtaba Khamenei, vowed that Iran will continue pursuing revenge for those killed, especially the school girls that was targeted by missile US launched from United Arab Emirates. And this— here is what he said, and I quote, and, and what he wrote. I'm sorry, not he said, because he didn't appear yet. Every member of the nation who is martyred by the enemy becomes an independent case for revenge, end of quote. Read between the line. He also added, and I quote, Until it reaches its complete extent, this case will remain open above all others. End of quote. And basically, what, what, what, what is the message of Khamenei? The message is Khamenei is saying to all U.S. bases in the region should immediately be closed or they will be attacked, and that armed groups in Yemen will also do the job. While other groups, of course, you talk— we talking about— here's a reference to two: Hezbollah and the one in Iraq. The one in Iraq now is being activated also because they want to help. So the bottom line to this is that this statement, in my opinion, closes the diplomatic off-ramp to Trump because that's what he was hoping for. Because if those negotiations will ever start, Guess what? Trump's gonna play the card of, you know, we submit, we force them into the negotiating table. Iran is not gonna be playing, and rightly so. They've been burnt twice, meaning tricked with the negotiation with Americans, and you can't trust the American government. It will be a mistake. It will be a mistake to trust what the US government is saying. I say it, I'm not shy about saying it. It's unfortunate, but you can't be cherry-picking the truth. That's where I stand on this. And this is why now you're going to be seeing— I'm, I'm using the future— you're going to be seeing the escalation on multiple fronts simultaneously. And that is again where you see the legitimacy of the new leader as far as this statement. And, and again, the war appears to be entering now even a more dangerous and open-ended phase. And that leads us to the next phase of what will the Gulf states do. 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. So what I'm gonna do now, I'm gonna play another clip. I'm not playing in its entirety, I just— for the first two, I think, 2:18 minutes or 3 minutes. Then I'll do one brief analysis on this and I'll conclude. So let me, let me share the screen here and we'll, we'll do the translation for it. All right, let's take a listen, please. And by the way, the reason I want to share this with you, because it has the virtual mapping, so you see, and some satellite images, and that is the reason why I wanted to share this with you. Here's what it says: Iran has begun striking key chemical facilities within Israel. Thereby shifting the war into a completely new and distinct phase, a development that Israeli sources have already alluded to earlier. The strike was executed today, meaning that was the 2 days ago, beginning with the missile launched at extremely high velocity, believed to be a hypersonic missile, that headed towards southern Israel It focused specifically on northern Nagaf region in the district of Beersheva, as we can observe. Okay, subsequently the footage emerged showing a massive explosion, an incident regarding which sources spoke and reports conflicts. Suggesting that one of Israel's critically important chemical plants had been targeted by the Iranian side. If we attempt to verify the details of the targeted location, identifying exactly what was struck by analyzing the clear footage available to us, we notice here highlighted in red a sidewalk flanked by several trees, as, as well as other distinct landmarks. These markers indicate that the explosion occurred just to the right of the specific features we have pointed out. Furthermore, from a vantage point in close proximity to the site targeted by the Iranians, there are additional key makers that— key markers, I'm sorry, that allow us to pinpoint precisely which building was struck, specifically this building right here. Let us quickly switch to satellite imagery. We find ourselves looking at Beersheba, zooming in specifically to an area approximately 8 kilometers south of Beersheba. We arrive at Ramat Hovav. This region is considered home to the largest concentration of chemical industries in all Israel. The specific angle that corresponds exactly with the footage we viewed moments ago is this one right here. Let us obtain a clearer satellite image to better utilize the visible topographical features and landmarks. We observe that we are indeed looking at the very same markers we identified just moments ago. Consequently, it is highly probable that this specific structure is the building that was struck or targeted. To further confirm this, we can see that the landmarks immediately surrounding this building also corresponds perfectly with the image we observed earlier. Note here that we are in fact looking at the exact same physical features present on the ground, present on the ground, a correspondence that it confirms to you that this is precisely the building Iran had targeted meaning that the Iranian strike was precise and indeed highly precise. The targeting was highly precise and by no means indiscriminate, given that this specific building and none other was the intended target. It is worth noting that this structure, alone with the adjacent, with the adjacent buildings, appears somewhere somewhat distinct A significant buffer zone separates them, with no other structures situated in close proximity to those, uh, buildings or factories. This lays out— confirm— this layout confirms the presence of highly explosive materials and underscores the severe safety risk that will ensue should an explosion occur at these locations. Furthermore, the entrances, specifically the access point for this building and its neighbors, neighbor, uh, neighborhood, neighbor, appears somewhat isolated and restricted. This further— this feature further reinforces the conclusion that this facility is of considerable strategic significance. Naturally, the area in question is home to 19 chemical manufacturing plants representing a significant portion of Israel's chemical industry, as well as ammonia storage tanks. These tanks are considered extremely hazardous. Indeed, they pose the single greatest risk among all of these facilities. According to numerous specialized experts, any leak within these installations will immediately trigger high-level chemical hazard alert. Ultimately, such an incident will result in severe environmental contamination, thereby endangering not only the safety of the personnel working on site, but also the lives of civilians residing in the surrounding area. Consequently, as it is evident, facilities of this nature are invariably situated in isolation, far removed from urban centers. What further heightens the significance of this specific site targeted by Iran is its relative proximity to critical strategic assets such as the Dimona nuclear reactor. Observe the area in question, Ramat Huvav. It is situated approximately 36 to 38 kilometers from Dimona reactor and 23 kilometers from the city of Dimona itself. I'm gonna stop right here because it's, it's too long, but I just wanted to highlight to you— why am I sharing this with you? To highlight to you the precision of Iran's targeting certain locations. Iran didn't target, for example, let's say, uh, a residential building. It didn't target school, for example. But also it highlights another dimension, that Iran is in possession of really precise coordinates. How does it— how does it get that? That's the million-dollar question. But the answer is clear, because China is providing. It's no secret anymore. China is providing the exact coordinates for the locations. Remember the clip I shared with you yesterday about the targeting of the US base in Jordan? Who provided that? It was the Chinese satellites. And that's exactly my point. Just, I wanted you to see this because once again, Western media is not disclosing this. Now, the last part I want to talk about briefly here is my own analysis about how the Gulf states interpret Iran's stance. And tomorrow I will do a detailed analysis about the Gulf states with each one of them, where they stand. But for now, I just want to provide you an overall view. The Gulf states' interpretation of Mojtaba Khamenei's stance is kind of, uh, layered with fear, and rightly so. There is fear, okay? There is frustration and there is also, also profound, in my opinion, profound strategic pressure that Iran is posing on the Gulf states, and rightly so. Iran can play it very, very smartly and it's doing it. Because remember, the day after, once the dust settles, Iran will always be there. Some other Gulf states will always be there. Unless the plan changed, because the whole idea of this, the agenda for Israel expansion, is to have Saudi absorbs Qatar. Because remember, few years ago, remember the blockade that was on Qatar? And I wrote about it back then. That was the aim. And now with the United Arab Emirates being the back door for Israel, which I will tell you in a second here What United Arab Emirates is doing, begging, and I use the term begging, the intervention of Muslim countries. Really? Well, we'll talk about this in a second here. Here is where the issue is regarding how you see this, how this situation can be analyzed. There are those who are saying, oh, the Gulf states are victims. No, they are not. Some said, oh, that's just the way— no, it is not. Most of the analysis coming out of Western think tank, or even some inside the Gulf states themselves, and I know of some, for example, there is one think tank that exists inside Riyadh with the King Fahd University, if I'm not mistaken, and, and that has to push the narrative towards what the— what, what will be for the domestic audience. Because the Gulf States now, they are not interpreting Mojtaba Khamenei's statements from a distance. They are living in it. They are part of it. Because the attacks spared no Gulf States, but for a reason. Remember the first 4 days 4 days, yeah, 4 days of the conflict. Which country suffered the most? And I will detail all this later on, but which country suffered the most? It was United Arab Emirates, United Arab Emirates, followed by Kuwait, then Bahrain, then Saudi Arabia. And of course, Saudi Arabia normalized relations with Iran in 2023, but behind the scenes They've been supporting the US, allowing US bases on their territory to launch the refueling planes and tankers and all that stuff. Even Qatar. Qatar and Oman will likely also— will likewise struck. Well, of course we know why, especially Qatar with Al Udeid base. As a matter of fact, here is the harsh truth which I will detail tomorrow Some of those Gulf states, they want the war to continue, but to continue up to a point. Because their interpretation now to justify for domestic audiences in those Gulf states, oh, the next leadership in Iran is a hardline. And if we don't do this now, we might see the uprising of the Shiite minorities inside those countries, which has nothing to do with the truth. The stance of the new Iranian leadership is one for defending its country, but also targeting US military bases that those countries in the Gulf States are the one harboring or creating, uh, uh, uh, allowing their soil to be used for that. So Because even Donald Trump yesterday, he had to say it, oh, Qatar is part of the war, Saudi Arabia is part of the war, Jordan, which is a joke for its king that is considered himself the protector of Al-Aqsa Mosque. You know, he's the custodian, which is a joke. Where was he when the Al-Aqsa Mosque was shut down? Did you know, to those Muslim viewers that I have, I don't know if you know or not, No prayer has been conducted in Al-Aqsa Mosque because Israelis shut it down. So where is the King of Jordan that's supposed to be the custodian of it? And the king himself is a joke, to say the least, because that's why Iran targeted the presence of the U.S. in Jordan. And the other thing that the Gulf States are concerned about the most is being expelled exposed now. They are being exposed, and that's what I'm gonna detail tomorrow. I don't want to get ahead of myself here because I want to keep this short, to the point, and tomorrow I will address the Gulf States. Now, what I wanted to show you or share with you, I'm gonna just share it with you quickly here, but I'm not gonna do much about it, uh, like as far as go through. All I want you to see, the statement that comes with it, is what's going on right now. 50%. That's, by the way, the Israeli president visiting United Arab Emirates. All I want to say is the first sentence, the surprise of the season. United Arab Emirates appeals to Arab nations asking, and I quote, "Where are you in our time of need?" End of quote. Really? This is— if this is not hypocrisy, I don't know what else. And you all know the relationship United Arab Emirates has with Israel. As a matter of fact, it was one of the other 3 or 4 countries that normalized relations. You have United Arab Emirates, you have Morocco, you have Egypt, and you have Jordan. And yesterday Donald Trump told MBS to normalize relations with Israel. Yeah, I mean, he has the gut. He has no shame, you know. But at the same time, are you gonna take MBS for his words? The guy is beyond whatever you want to describe him. But the fear in now the Gulf states is about the uprising of the Shia. That is where the concern. And tomorrow I will really provide you a much more in-depth analysis because I wrote extensively about this particular aspect. I'll share one quick excerpt from the— I think when I talked about it, I talked about it in the Saudi book. This is what I wrote back then. It already became clear that countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council, GCC, are benefiting from greater Iranian trade and investments. Qatar is one of the such beneficiary. It is interesting to speculate on the economy and geopolitics in 2030 after the terms of the nuclear agreement Iran signed with the West in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, action known as JCPOA, expires. Saudi Arabia may be in the dustbin of history by then. That's what I argued, and it'd be interesting to see. 2030 is around the corner, but tomorrow, so make sure please to join me tomorrow for this detailed, uh, analysis about the, uh, about the, the Gulf States, which I'm gonna highlight in detail because there's some stuff you need to know. So here's my conclusion for you about all this. US and Israel, of course, when they launched this audacious military operation in modern history, thinking, oh, we're gonna just intimidate the Iranians and we're gonna cut off their heads. You know, and the body will collapse. That was the plan. It didn't work out that way, as always does with military operations. Look at Afghanistan, look at Iraq, look at Somalia, look at Yemen, and now look at Iran. Here is the harsh reality: instead of broken Iran, crawling to the negotiating table, the world now has a Supreme Leader who watched his entire family get wiped out in a single strike and responded not with grief but with declaration of a total war. What would you do if your entire family would be wiped out by an aggressor? And the Gulf states, they are out here claiming neutrality. What are such hypocrites? While the US is bombing, bombers are taking off from their own soil. You cannot light the fire then complain about the smoke. That's exactly what United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt to a degree are the win. And here is the hard truth that nobody wants to say it out loud. This war was supposed to make the world safer, right? That's what they're saying. Instead of— it created now a different trajectory. It crowned a son of the late martyr, late Ali Khamenei. And handed Iran now the most powerful propaganda tool it has ever had in the last 40 years, with one single caveat, and that caveat is the Strait of Hormuz is still closed as of today, or controlled, whatever term you want to use. The missiles are still flying, and one question hangs over, over there, overall. Especially on part of Israel and part of America, not on part of Iran. Was it worth it? What do you think? Make sure to leave me a comment in the comment section. I would really like to read your feedback on this. So, uh, I take this opportunity to say thank you to armed American citizen for buying me cups of teas in support of my upcoming Asia trip. Yes, I am still planning on going to Asia once we reach the target number, which is set at around $10,000. We are making very slow progress. It'll happen in due time. But so I just want to thank those who have been buying me cups of teas in support of the upcoming Asia trip. So if you want to, should you decide to support that, here is the link for it. I also want to thank Ramzi Abdurrahman for your generous donations in support of this Asia trip. Thank you so much for that. And for the channel, if you want to support the channel, I will be greatly appreciative to you if you do so. And for my books, because you will learn a lot about these particular aspects of it, and here is the link for that. If you want to get a copy of my Iran book, especially, and the Saudi book, because what's happening right now, I have talked in quite length about it, even the US clueless foreign policy in the region, which is coming to an end anyway. So once again, just remember, join me tomorrow for the Gulf States. I will be addressing all this. It will be an interesting conversation because there is a lot that the— even United Arab Emirates now is imposing penalties, legal penalties, on social media influencers if they post anything. It shows you the hypocrisy of some of the Muslim countries, not all, I'm not generalizing. So I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. As always, remember, geopolitics impacts your daily life. In more ways than one. Till next time, bye-bye.
