The Arab Betrayal: Gulf States, Jordan & Egypt's Secret Deal With Israel EXPOSED

Hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. Ask yourself one question: if Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain— if we are to call them custodian of Islam, why does Israel sleep peacefully at night? Because this regime have more back channels, calls with Tel Aviv than they do with their own suffering Muslim brothers, be it in Gaza, be it in whatever else. They have built, those countries have built the tallest mosques and funded the grandest Islamic conferences and then quietly signed the next normalization deal before the ink dries on the last ceasefire. So the kingdom of hypocrisy has a zip code, and you know where that zip code is? It's in the Gulf. So this is what I'm going to be talking about. This might be uncomfortable for some people, especially in the Muslim world, but I am not here to tell you what you want to hear. I am here to speak the truth. I am here to share with you the knowledge the way I know it for specific reason, is to help people become informed about the realities and the status level of the hypocrisy that is marked now the Gulf state has been exposed. So when you consider the Muslim world, about 1.8 billion people, the world has the world's largest oil reserves and some of the most strategically located real estate on earth. Just think about it. So why, for example, and this just as an example, which is a reality and true, Why, for example, Palestine has been bleeding over 75 years? It's because the leaders who claim to speak for Islam have different god, if I may use the term, and his name is power. So Gulf States don't fear God's judgment. No, no, no, no, no, no. They fear a phone call from Washington or Tel Aviv or somewhere else. And here's the harsh reality. Until Muslims worldwide reckon with this reality and this truth, mark my word on it, nothing will change. So my framing of this is actually about more honesty and truth than the sanitized diplomatic language most analysts hide behind. And that is exactly the kind of perspective that makes for a compelling truth-telling channel like this. And that is what I intend to address in this livestream. So I'm gonna— stick with me till the end because it's a long one, but there is a lot of information with a lot of clips that I had to work on for the last 48 hours to put it together for you. So this is what I'm going to be addressing this, and I highlight a few things, uh, as I move along with it. Once again, I just want to give you a warning, this might not be comfortable for those who might not be willing to hear the truth. But once again, this community stands for the truth, and that's what I intend to do. So the first thing I'm going to share with you is I'm going to share with you a clip about a US recon plane, A-3, which has been targeted Except that, uh, of course media is not going to disclose it. All right, let's play it here, right, right here. All right, take a listen here, it's in English.

The US Air Force—

Iran reportedly—

the US Air Force Boeing E-3 Sentry aircraft was officially destroyed in combat for the first time in history. Iran's IRGC confirmed a precision strike took out this half-billion-dollar flying radar. Satellite footage from Prince Sultan Air Base shows the aftermath path of a coordinated ballistic missile and drone barrage. This is the single most expensive US aircraft lost so far in the 2026 conflict. The E-3 is the brain of NATO air operations, capable of tracking 600 targets at once. The US Air Force Boeing—

okay, why is this important, you may ask? And there is a reason for why I'm sharing this. It's because it's been confirmed today that 2 F-35s have been downed. And as a matter of fact, Iran, at this time of this live stream, they are circling with helicopters looking for the pilots who escaped. They survived because they used the parachute, whatever. Suffice it to say that the Pentagon is confirming that F-35s have been downed. Second one, F-35. That gives you an idea. And I'm not going to get into the details of this I'll do a live about it some other time. The other important information that I want to share with you before I'll delve deeper into the Gulf States is that it was a recent report this morning from the intelligence community, from US IC, intelligence community assessment, which has revealed now a picture that is very at odds with the official narrative adopted by Donald Trump and his, his pathetic, uh, uh, Secretary of Defense and so forth regarding the trajectory of the war in Iran. We all know they've been lying. And the assessments, by the way, citing informed sources— of course, any, anytime you deal with classified info, no name is going to be mentioned— affirmed that Iran still retains approximately half of its missile capabilities as well as thousands of drones. Let that sink in for the reality, which by the way, the media is not willing to disclose. And that is where this assessment further warned that— this recent intel assessment further warned that setting a 2 weeks timeline, because you remember Donald Trump said, oh, in 2 weeks I'm going to end the war. And what the assessment said is that 2 weeks timeline for ending operations is unrealistic. A conclusion that drew the ear of the White House. White House, of course, didn't like it. Donald Trump didn't like it. The Pentagon didn't like it. Both of which moved swiftly to fiercely attack these leaks. And that is why Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, fired the head of the Army here in the US, the Joint Chiefs, fired him and forced him to retire. You put the two and two together and figure why. And that is exactly where these developments are, are moving forward. Now let us get into the Gulf States, which I'm going to be providing you insights about it. I'll play some clips, those are pertaining to this. Then I'll do a brief, or just my conclusion, all this And, and, and, and we'll end with this one. What makes the Gulf States now involvement so significant? Because that's question we ought to ask. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to break it down for you in about 4 or 5 point key points that will make more sense to you. First of all, they share intelligence with Israel about Iranian movements and intentions. Yeah, those Gulf States, those Muslim countries That's almost like Iran is not a Muslim country, which is. Second thing, they open their airspace to Israeli and American military assets. The third one is they host US military infrastructure used in operations targeting Iran. Point number four is they provide financial and logistical support to anti-Iran operations. And the fifth front, which is the key also, is that Jordan— you know, the country of Jordan— literally shut down an Iranian drone protecting Israeli skies. And this, by the way, didn't happen this time. I am referring to an incident back in April 2024, because at that time they said Jordan wasn't involved. I had to dig into this to pull it up. And this is where this hypocrisy comes in to the framing of this conversation. Because to some, they say, oh, Dr. O, hypocrisy is part of every country. And this is like a generally contested either political or theological debate. But there is a real argument on both sides of it. And this is what I intend to do briefly here to provide you both sides of the argument You decide for yourself. So we'll start with those who, uh, the critics that argue that Gulf monarchies prioritize regime survival and geopolitical interests over pan-Islamic solidarity, and that aligning with non-Muslim powers against a Muslim-majority country, in this case Iran, contradicts Islamic Brotherhood principles. Those are the ones who, uh, the critics side. The defenders of this, they argue that Islamic doctrine does not require solidarity with every Muslim-majority government, especially one like Iran, that many Sunni Muslims view it as sectarian, which is not true, expansionist Shia power, which is not true. And they adding that because this Shia power, it's try to destabilize Muslim majority countries, which is not true. Then you have a third group, and you know who the third group is? Those are the realists, argue that nation states act on the security and economic interest. Logical argument. And that religion and statecraft have always coexisted with tensions. This is not unique to just Muslim-majority countries. And again, I just want to provide both sides of the argument first, then we'll move on. But here is the other thing that is worth noting, you know, as an analyst. In my opinion, this should be more scrutinized because some analysts' opinions on this is actually quite divided. We're talking about analysts with credibility and knowledge. Here is the thing: Gulf states simultaneously maintain formal— that's the keyword— neutrality in many conflicts while pursuing back-channel relations, which is a standard diplomatic behavior globally, not unique just to them. I can see the logic of this argument, but on the other hand, I also understand how legitimately complex this geopolitical situation is. And framing it primarily through the aspect of hypocrisy makes more sense, especially that those Gulf states are Muslim countries. Okay, let me play a clip here, and we're gonna go from— and again, I'll be playing one clip at a time, and those are very, very short. There's one that I'm gonna do the translation, but that is very, very short. All right, the first one I want to start with is the, uh, right here, Crown Prince. And what's interesting about this, what's interesting about it is that MBS— you remember what happened last, uh, you remember what happened few days ago when Donald Trump you know, insulted in BS by the statements, vulgar statements to say the least. Well, now MBS is coming back at him, and this might shock you. Let's take a listen and you guys go from there.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has announced $200 billion in support for Iran. He stated that all Islamic countries will now stand with Iran and past mistakes will not be repeated. Saudi Arabia made it clear that Iran will not be left alone. Meanwhile, sources say the United States wants to end this war due to its weakening economy, while the US and Israel are seeking a pause. On the other hand, Iran has clearly rejected any table talks and signaled a strong response. So viewers, will Islamic countries truly unite with Iran, or will the situation change? Comment your opinion.

And we give credit to Vision Spark Media. That's where I found the clip. I looked into it and, and I wanted to share it with you just for you, uh, to, for you to see. And once again, what's important about this is the idea that girl in BS turnaround, possibly there is possibility to that, and that is just part of how relations are. So now I'm gonna play a clip. This now we're getting into Dubai. There is some major developments going on in Dubai. And I'll do the translation. It's short, then we'll move on with what we need to do. Okay, let me add the screen here. All right, and this is in Arabic. I'm gonna just play a little bit, but I'll do the full translation for you as we move forward. Okay, here is what it's, it's saying. British press now exposes Dubai or Abu Dhabi after he threw dozen of British nationals into Emirati prisons, the imprisoned influencer who recorded videos. Just imagine this, there are 70, 7-0, Brits including tourists, residents, and even a man in his 60s where they were cast by into Emirati jail on charges of filming or even merely possessing video footage. Of Iranian missiles streaking across the skies of Dubai. United Arab Emirates threatened anyone who published a photo or video clip documenting the destruction with fines and imprisonment, and it immediately began hunting down and tracking those who defied the order. But London did not remain silent. In less than a week, British newspaper published dozens of articles exposing the United Arab Emirates and revealing its dark side to the world. Up to 70 Britons now face up to 10 years in prison in the United Arab Emirates on charges of filming the drone attacks and Iranian missiles. This crisis has laid bare the United Arab Emirates' authoritarian nature. Dubai is finished. And the, uh, if you listen to the rest of it, which is in Arabic, I'm gonna just go ahead and do the translation for you. Expatri— expats say they are leaving and will never return. Elegance without substance, allure without culture. Dubai is like that glamorous partner you enjoy being seen with but whom you would never actually marry. Initially, videos of the missiles, explosions, and burning hotels circulated widely Then suddenly these clips vanished, replaced by a flood of nearly incidental, uh, identical posts, images of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid or Mohammed bin Zayed, accompanied by slogans such as, 'I know who protects us,' or, and I quote, 'Dubai is safe, there is no need, no need for fear,' end of quote. How do influencers continue to portray the Dubai dream online while the entire world knows that the city is engulfed in conflicts. It shows you now the hypocrisy of where this is going. And that is again the importance of, of understanding this. So I'm going to share another clip. This is no translation, just wanted to show you this, what is going on inside, uh, uh, as a matter of fact inside, uh, inside Dubai. Hold on, let me— bear with me, guys, here, please. All right, let's take a listen here. I think it's in English. I'm— I, I remember seeing it, but it was, uh— all right, here is the link, and I'm gonna play it for you from the beginning.

Quickly, let's move quickly!

Oh my God, okay, I hope no people there. Okay, I just want you to see that one. And when you think about this, the idea of where are we going with this, it becomes clear in understanding that what the Gulf States are trying to hide. And here is what the head of Iran's military, the spokesperson, which by the way, uh, while I'm thinking about it, a lot of people do not know that the spokesperson of the Iran military has a bachelor degree in mathematics, he has a master's in mathematics, and he has a PhD in Western philosophy. I mean, impressive to say the least. Impressive, I must admit. So all right, let's take a look here, and I'm going to translate for you because it's very short. I just want to show you what it says right there in Arabic. What it says is, "Al-Mutahaddid bismul Harasat Tawri Basically, the spokesperson of the military of the IRGC is saying to the, to the United Arab Emirates that it's going to face very serious consequences, especially after the IRGC received documentation suggesting that the missiles that have targeted The school, remember that school that had 168 girls that died? These missiles were launched from the territory of the United Arab Emirates. And that is why yesterday, and I remember I mentioned this yesterday, I said I had a confirmation that the missile was launched from United Arab Emirates, not from Bahrain. And that's been confirmed. Now the next question we have to ask ourselves is what is the next for Gulf States? What's next for them? Because now they are being exposed not only among the Muslim world for their hypocrisy. You know, you go to the mosque and you pray and you do this and do that, you wear the white turban stuff, whatever, and yet you carry this hypocrisy towards the Muslim people within your own country or elsewhere. And that is a fair question for us to ask. What's next for them? Will Saudi Arabia absorb Qatar, as some might have suggested? Will the population rise up against the regimes, be they in United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and what have you? Because those are fascinating geopolitical questions that we need to consider. You cannot overlook something like this. And if we are honest about it, we have to think, to think in those terms. Because remember what happened back then with the blockade on Qatar. Remember the popular uprising. And by the way, I came across a clip which I will share with you in a second here, highlighting to you that the argument— of course, some Western think tanks are saying, oh, the arguments for the uprising is unlikely. Yeah, I might, I might concur with that to a degree, but even if I concur, I'm making clear only in the near term, but not the long term. And remember, Iran is prepared to go for this war for 2 years. Can you believe— can you imagine the local people is gonna in, in those countries, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and what have you, is gonna tolerate that for 2 years? I don't think so. Because here is what the advantage the Gulf States have, because the Gulf States have used before enormous oil wealth You know why they use it for? To buy social peace through subsidies, employment, and welfare. Basically silence them with a paycheck at the end of the month. You all remember the Arab Spring? Do you know how much Saudi Arabia spent to silence everybody? To my knowledge back then, and I was in the middle of— I was in the government, we're talking about $10 billion. To silence everybody. That's why the Arab Spring didn't reach Saudi Arabia. It did, but it was sort of dealt with in a financial way. You think also about what the Gulf States have, this security apparatus they have. It is well-funded and even sophisticated. How sophisticated, you may ask? Is because the technology coming from Pegasus. What is Pegasus, you may ask? Is the spyware coming from Israel that some Gulf states have purchased for one reason: to track dissent. And that is why I'm— because I remember the Arab Spring largely bypassed the wealthiest Gulf state precisely because of this. But there is the other side of the argument. In certain of those countries, the minorities are Shia in Gulf states, and that is now where you start to see this fragmentation that is taking place. I'm going to show you a clip here. Of course, I'm not surprised at this because I wrote about it when I wrote my Saudi book. Let me share the screen here, and I want you to see with your own eyes. And I'll play— hold on. All right, let's take a listen here. All right, there where it says in Arabic, Saudi Arabia asked the people of the southern region of Yemen, which, which are, which are under the control of Saudi mercenaries to demonstrate in solidarity with Saudi Arabia. You know what they end up doing? They end up tearing up pictures of King Salman. That shows you the idea. And again, I'm not surprised at this because the fear of the Saudi monarchy, as I disclosed in my book, is the fear that the Yemenis, especially the Houthis, they won't be able to defeat them. We all know, we remember what the Saudis have done to poor Yemenis, starving them to death and pounding. And this is where you see the hypocrisy, what a Muslim can do to another Muslim. So where is this, this, this, uh, heartfelt prayer to God, or however you perceive it to be, and, and these mosques and all that? And yet you are committing the most atrocities a human have ever experienced. And that becomes the idea of where— because the pressure now is building up, it's building up because the oil wealth dependency, you know, is structural vulnerability as we are moving through the energy transitions. And that is again where you have those countries now don't know what to do. They don't know what to do. And that's where the Gulf states now have exposed how hypocrites they are. You know, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar. As a matter of fact, I found out that Qatar did ask the US to leave. Yeah, I'm, I'm gonna verify this info for you, and once I get a complete confirmation, I will share it, with, with you moving forward. So, and this is where you have, uh, the idea of, uh, the Gulf, the, the, the hypocrisy of the Gulf states. But especially I want to mention two countries, uh, not in the Gulf. The Gulf, we know how they are hypocrite already, but the ones that playing behind the scenes, I'm referring to Jordan and I'm referring to Egypt. Yeah, because Jordan justified its role as the protecting of its own airspace. That's why they shut down the, uh, the, uh, the, the drone. Remember back in April 2024 when Iranian drone missile attack on Israel? Well, Jordan intercepted that Iranian projectiles over its airspace, and you know what it caused? It caused enormous public outrage domestically. Not domestically because the missile was there. No, no, no, no. Because of what the government did instead of letting the missile go and hit whatever target it was supposed to hit in Israel. And this is why how hypocritical Jordan is. Well, many Jordanians themselves say yes. If you ask this question, many Jordanians, they say, yeah, our government is hypocrite. Because Jordan's leadership will argue, oh, they have no other good options. Regime survival depends on balancing relations that are fundamentally intentions. I don't know, you ask yourself that. Let me show you another clip that pertains to Jordan, and, and also because what Jordan is saying We are the custodian of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. That's what King of Jordan said, which is bunch of haraam. Let me share this clip with you, and this is from a Jewish religious person. I was shocked, but there are people like this because I came across some of them. Take a listen, please. This might shock you.

The State of Israel have no right to exist. Not only they have no right to go to wage wars on other countries like Gaza, Iran and Lebanon and so on. The Holy Land in today's day, according to the Torah, it belongs to the Palestinian in full. Not a two-state, and not all of this. From the river to the sea, the whole land, the government should go back to the Palestinians in full, and all the Palestinian refugees should come back, and they should get back their homes in the villages like it was before. This is according to the Torah.

Very interesting. This is a religious man saying what he's saying. Now let me talk about the second country, Egypt, in this, which is the most hypocrite country to me so far in the Muslim world, or the Arab world, whatever you want to, you want to call it. Now we're not talking about the time of Jamal Abdel Nasser, we're talking about the recent of General Sisi, which by the way, if you know how he came to power and who gave him the green light, two countries, the US and Saudi Arabia. No, because Egypt now has a different calculations. What if Egypt is this and that? Where were they when the massive atrocities were committed in Gaza? Why they closed the border in Rafah and not allowing the Palestinians to get— because Egypt has a treaty, a peace treaty with Israel since 1979, known as Camp David. And this is why we've been giving them money every year ever since for that treaty. That's, that's how it tells you, sold their soul. When I say they, I'm not referring to the Egyptian people. It's the damn government and the Egyptian military establishment. That's the one that is running the country. It's not civilians because under Sisi has a strong security and financial ties to both US and Gulf states. When I wrote, uh, uh, uh, the book about the US foreign policy in the Middle East back then. I disclosed one piece of information when I found out that the late Hosni Mubarak— he died, you know— had billions of dollars in a private account in Switzerland. And I documented it with the reference in the book. And I was like, wait a minute, how did he get this billions of dollars? That was the donations we were giving every year, taxpayers' money. Egypt coordinates closely. Here is what you need to understand about the hypocrisy of Egypt. Egypt coordinates closely with Israel on Gaza border security and has kept the Rafah opening crossing closed during the Gaza War. So where is this Muslim Brotherhood that you are a Muslim country and you see them during the, the, uh, the organization of the Islamic countries, or the Council on Islamic Relations, or Islamic organization, the CIO, I believe. All those Muslim leaders come together. Hypocrisy on open day. And that's exactly what Egypt did by crossing or closing that. That's exactly what contribute to humanitarian catastrophe. And there is why even ordinary Egyptian people are so angry. It just highlights to you— here is what I wrote back in my Saudi book, because I talked about both Saudi Arabia and Egypt for that matter. Yemen. Look no further than in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia-led campaign demonstrates ugliness and hypocrisy. The Saudi regime claims to embrace the true teaching of Islam, yet Islam does not call for committing atrocities. As of August 2018, Saudi Arabia is already responsible for the killing of 12,000 Yemenis and the near starvation of 50,000 children, which will eventually lead to their death. That's the harsh reality about the hypocrisy of the so-called Muslim leaders or Arab leaders. And again, this is nothing against the society, the people. You all know how it is even for us in the US. It's the, uh, it's the government, not the people. And what I found very interesting while we're talking about Egypt, because the next clip is going to be about Al-Azhar University, to those who are, pardon me, familiar with Al-Azhar University, which was you know, established back in 971 AD. That's how old. It's one of the oldest, the world premier center for the Sunni Islamic learning, and one of the oldest, most prestigious universities. Why is this important? Because the university itself serves as a major authority on Islamic law, theology, Arabic language, and blending traditional studies with modern education. So the institution itself has a mosque inside it. That's why they called Imam of Azhar and university and scholarly councils acting as global center for knowledge. Here is what they are not telling you about a place like Al-Azhar. Al-Azhar University also is the mouthpiece of the government. When Sisi wants to push some policy, they push it through al-Azhar.

Why?

Because nobody is going to challenge the religious entity. It's no different than what it was with the, uh, with the Vatican. You all remember back during John Paul II when he was a pope. What did John Paul II do back then with the US? How do you think the fall of the Soviet Union came about? Because John Paul II played a role in it. Religion can be used. So what I'm— clip I'm going to share with you is you have another scholar, his name is Hashim al-Haidari. He's a religious scholar from Iran responding to the statement by al-Azhar University, or the head of the Azhar, saying, oh, what Iran is doing to the Gulf States is against religion. This is how it justifies it. So I want you to take a listen. I'll do the translation. We're not going to play it in its entirety, but you need to see it as we move forward, and I'll do the translation for you about it. Very, very important. I found it very crucial. Let's just start with this. Basically what he's saying, we express our regret regarding the statements issued by Al-Azhar, a statement which in its own phrasing, and which we read in the media, condemns the Iranian attacks. Specifically, it condemned what it terms brutal attacks, or words to that effect, launched against neighboring Arab and Islamic nations. I ask, was it the Islamic legal basis? What is the Islamic legal basis for these statements, oh Sheikh of Azhar? Where is the legal foundation upon which these statements rest? Consider the American military bases And you are a man of religion, presumably a scholar. The American bases situated within Arab nations like in Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain— these American bases located in these countries are actively striking Iran. Consequently, there are American military installations launching attacks against Iran. Even if they were not actively firing at this very moment, the fact remains that America is committing aggression against Iran, is it not? Therefore, the right of Iran, the Islamic Republic, to strike these bases, even if they were empty, bearing in mind that these bases are the very source of the aggression, the origin of the missiles and aircraft involved. So what Islamic ruling are you speaking of, Sheikh of Al-Azhar? And he continued in the, uh, he continued in his, uh, in his argument. And let me just play a little bit here. What he's saying is, I address the scholars of Al-Azhar University, or, or Al-Azhar, what is the Islamic legal dimension here? Or is it merely a nationalist dimension? Is there any legal, national, Arabist, humanitarian, ethical, or judicial justification for this stance? Is it Iran that is launching attacks from the Gulf, firing missiles and deploying aircraft from these nations to strike schools, hospitals, infrastructure, the Iranian military, or missile bases? Or is it the other way around, and Iran is merely responding by striking the bases from which it is being attacked? What kind of legal logic are you invoking, oh scholar of al-Azhar? Secondly, I address this specifically to the Sheikh of al-Azhar, meaning the, the, the, the, the boss of the university, the director, president whatever term you want to use. I ask, is it permissible from an Islamic legal standpoint— and you are a religious scholar for an Islamic nation, or for an Islamic nations collectively— to host military bases belonging to nations of disbelief, specifically America, which is considered a non-Muslim state, or to a state like the Zionist entity? Is it permissible to allow such bases to be established and maintained as they have been for 40 or 50 years within our own countries and our own regions? Is such a thing permissible? Why then did you not issue a statement condemning the attacks of normalization, whether be it Egypt's normalization or that of Bahrain, or the United Arab Emirates, or the COVID normalization undertaken by Saudi Arabia while the, uh, with, with Israel? Why throughout all these years has no statement been issued by you regarding the very presence of these foreign military bases? Why you issued no statements regarding the presence of vice and immorality at the events organized in the land of the two holy mosques? By the so-called General Entertainment Authority? Why did Al-Azhar not condemn the presence of dancers, female performers, and scantily clad women in this sacred land, in this country? The sacred— are you issuing statements now? Is this your religion? Is this your legal judicial? What manner Of religion logic are you speaking of? Oh, Sheikh of Azhar, I address you in the name of religion, in the name of the Quran. Wow, very powerful when you hear this in Arabic terms, which is a wake-up call. But that's what I'm saying for my viewers, just to know the likes of Azhar University, don't fall for it. Yes, it is well established It has good credentials or whatever, but it's still a mouthpiece. Tell me if, like this gentleman said, if they ever issued a condemnation about the US or Israel attacking a Muslim country. Put the side of Iran being a Shia or whatever. Did they, meaning Azhar University, issue the condemnation? They did not. And that shows you the level of hypocrisy. And like I did in my Iran book, I disclosed some of this. Here is what I wrote: One need not look far to see how the West, including the United States, failed to support the principles of democracy when the military coup in Egypt ousted a democratically elected president. Whether you agree or disagree is beside the point. A major assault has taken place on, on so-called democratic principles, and the only thing the West did The US included was offering meaningless bravado and absurd prating about freedom, democracy, and voting rights. I understand that in international relations, context matters, but I also understand that democratic principles matter and credibility counts. The United States has a moral obligation to support and defend those principles it was founded on and for which throughout its history it has sustained political turbulence. Even people in the street of some far land of Middle Eastern countries can recognize hypocrisy when it appears. And that was my point. So the broader picture of all this is that the patterns regarding the Gulf States or the Arab or the Muslim countries. So Arab governments since 1970s have systematically used, in this case, the Palestinian cause rhetorically while doing very little about it. Remember, 1967, 1973 wars were the last time Arab state took serious military risk for Palestine, and since then That's it. Peace treaties, normalization deals, and quiet security cooperation have progressively replaced standing for what's right. Yeah, and this is again what I need you to understand out of this. This government, some will say, well, they are not hypocritical by accident, whatever the case may be. But they are hypocritical by structural necessity, trapped between population with one set of values and geopolitical and economic dependencies that demands another set of behavior. That, my friend, is what we call hypocrisy. And that tension is real and it is growing and it has no clear resolution in sight. Unless the US leaves those countries and leaves them to themselves. I'm gonna share with you another clip. This is just, uh, to show you here. Okay, let me share screen about Qatar. Very interesting. And again, I am going to confirm this with you and, and share it once I, uh, this is the picture of, uh, uh, the Qatar Emir and so forth. It is what it says. Finally, an Arab country has taken a strong decision. Qatar is the first country to take the decision to withdraw U.S. forces from its land. Qatar Foreign Minister, from the moment he came out, spoke and said that Qatar has paid a heavy price for the presence of foreign forces on its land. Qatar's relations with Iran is relations of brothers and siblings, and we will not allow it to be harmed again through Qatari land. America has broken all its promises with us and only thinks about itself, and in the end, Qatar is the biggest loser. That's, that's a reality. That's a fact. I am going to check on this. And confirm it for you in, in, in the next time we do a live stream. Two more clips I need to share with you, and this one has to do once again because I, I spend years in the region, I've been on the ground, and I combine both the theoretical, the academic side, but I also combine the tactical aspects of, of, of this knowledge. So I have both versions of the world one on the ground and one from academia. And that's what qualifies me to talk about this, and that's why I'm sharing these clips with you here. So here is the, the excerpt from my Saudi book. Even the United States fell into the commixture of ambiguity when Donald Trump took credit on Twitter for accomplishing the blockade on Qatar. That was back then. What an odd behavior from a Syrian-American president. I am convinced that Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia back in May 2017 facilitated this behavior. Apparently, Saudi Arabia and its allies perceived the American president trip as green light to punish Qatar. The Saudi-led move was at once opportunity for GCC partners and Egypt to punish their adversary in Doha please their allies in Washington and remove attention from their own shortcomings and challenges. This is the harsh reality. Once again, because what shocks me the most, and I had to disclose it again in the same book, I had to disclose it because I won't hold back. That's why I'm saying to some of my viewers in the Arab or Muslim world, It might be uncomfortable, but again, I am not here to say what you want to hear. I am here to state the facts. So simple as this. It is what I argue elsewhere, and I'm going to provide you a link for an article that I wrote. It is a challenging proposition, and with due my respect to all Muslim viewers in this channel, I have great admiration and respect, but at the same time I cannot, under clear conscience, sugarcoat or be cherry-picking the information. I share whatever I know the way I know it. It is a challenge. Here is what I argued back then in one of the articles. It is a challenging proposition to explain to outsiders how Muslims can be the best people evolved for humankind according to the Quran. Yet leaders in the Muslim and Arab countries figure among the worst humanity could imagine in our present age of anxiety. Islamic leaders must condemn widespread hypocrisy, and that is what I argued back in 2014. I had to dig back that article for you, and I'm gonna put it in the chat box. If you feel like reading it. That's your decision. And here is, uh, and I'm, uh, the idea of thinking, uh, I need one other clip, very, very crucial. I just want to give you a heads up here. Tomorrow I'm going to be talking about Yemen. Now, Front mobilizes some advanced types of systems that we're going to be seeing, that's going to now enter the fray. The other one has to do now with the Saudis lashing out at Pakistan. Yeah, you know what the Saudis now saying to Pakistan? You need to pay us back $6.1 billion. Pakistan doesn't have that kind of money.

Why?

Because the Pakistanis didn't come and defend Saudi Arabia when the, the missiles landed. Well, you're the one allowing the bases on your territory. So I'm going to be looking into this as we move forward in the next few days. Now, uh, let me just play this clip here, then we'll move on with the next. 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. Don't watch from the sideline, be part of the movement. Your support keeps the truth alive. Thank you. Now here is the key clip that I wanted to share with you about United Arab Emirates. United Arab Emirates seems now to be coming to the fore as the source of where majority of the attacks on Iran is coming from. But on the other hand, you shouldn't be surprised because UAE has established relations with Israel back then. And I'm aware of, and it's not a secret, that UAE has acquired Pegasus spy systems or spyware programs and equipments from Saudi— from Israel. All right, let's share this clip. And this is the important one that, again, I'm not gonna do all of it, but I'll do the translation for you. And, uh, just for you to see on the picture That's the Israeli president and the Sheikh of United Arab Emirates. Let's just take a listen quickly. Um, basically what it says, the surprise of the season, United Arab Emirates appeals to the Arab nations asking, where are you in our time of need? Anwar Gharash, the diplomatic advisor to the United Arab Emirates president, complains of the absence of Arab and Islamic support for the Gulf states in the face of what he termed Iranian aggression. We in the Arab Gulf states have every right to ask, where are the institutions of joint Arab and Islamic actions? Foremost among them The Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, while our nations and peoples are subject— subjected to this brutal Iranian aggression. He continue on, where are the major Arab and regional powers? The Arab Gulf states have stood as pillar of support and partners for everyone during time of prosperity. So where are you today in our time of need? The curious irony is that the Emirati regime, which today appeals to the Arab and Muslim for help, is the very same regime that has wreaked havoc and corruption across numerous Arab and Islamic nations, even allying with Israel to orchestrate the partition of some of them. The Sons of Zayed regime transferred— transformed Yemen from a happy, a happy Yemen into an enduring catastrophe. In Libya, it fueled armed chaos, backed the coup General Khalifa Haftar, prolonged the war, deepened the internal divisions, and plundered state resources. In Sudan, it funded the Rapid Support Forces Militias, groups notorious for raping women, uh, and killing innocent civilians in Somali land— in Somalia, it supported the secession of the Somaliland region, a breakaway entity recognized by no nations other than Israel. And in Syria, it opened its arms to the blood-soaked Assad regime even if they slaughtered its own people, actively lobbying for its reinstatement within the halls of the Arab League. Following the resolutions, it lent its support to the Israeli-backed Druze Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, lavishing funds upon his militias. And that's what I said earlier. Finally, in the Gaza Strip, it sided with Israeli occupation during the barbaric war, escalating the level of normalization with the criminal enemy, a blatant betrayal of the Palestinian cause from instigating wars sedition and division in Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Syria to backing Israel in its war against Gaza. The sons of Zayed have amassed a heavy record, one that has rendered the name of the United Arab Emirates synonymous with ruin and tyranny. As to anyone who targets the nation, its freedom, and its rights, by what right Do you know, do you now call upon Muslims and Arabs to stand by your side after you have brought destruction upon your own peaceful people? Dr. Anwar, you signed, um, you signed the mutual defense pact with India, yet I do not see you asking, where is India? My friend, Gaza was annihilated, and all that emerged from the Arab world were mere statements. Yet here you are now, coming to seek out the Arabs. You have forgotten that the cupbearer shall eventually be made to drink from the very cup which was— he served others. Such is the law of God Almighty. How often has the Arab League issues— issued calls. Very, very interesting. Okay, I'm gonna stop right there because that was the— I did the translation for you. I just need you to understand once again, when you think about what is going on with, with all this where it's going forward. The mainstream media tendency is to tend to avoid calling things for what they are. I don't. I call them as I know them, to the best of my knowledge and my abilities. Because here's the thing: formally, formally acknowledging that this war raises uncomfortable questions, not only about the sovereignty of those nations in the Gulf But about international law, sovereignty violations, and the rules of engagement that powerful states prefer to operate around quietly with the assistance of those Arab and Muslim countries. And what do you expect when you assassinate a country's generals, blow up their infrastructure, strike their territory, strangle their economy, and destroy their allied networks? That is a war by any honest definition. And the fact that Iran has not been able to respond symmetrically does not make it less of a war. It just makes it— it's a very one-sided, the thinking that is going on on part of the US and its vassal states in the Gulf. Because to me, this framing will be the honest way to do it. And again, I stay away from this diplomatic language. No, no, no, no, I can't do that. I can't do that because it became clear now the fear that the Gulf States were running away from has been exposed. Because there is the bigger deal, the, the bigger fear they have, that when the dust settles, they might end up with no deal whatsoever. Even the US itself is now realizing what a mistake we made. No, because you all remember, we're gonna crash Iran, we're gonna destroy this, destroy that. No, no, because most likely Trump will end the war without a deal. Yeah, which means Iran will be in a strong position to begin with. GCC will always be there, Iran will always be there. And the GCC countries will have to find a way to coexist. Simple as that. Because here is the thing, what those Gulf states wanted to do, they wanted to push for some sort of strategic and moral ambiguity. That's why they kind of, oh, we are neutral, we don't do this, but they'll do things behind close doors. Gulf states, particularly Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates, are not passive bystanders. Let's just put that on the record. They host the very military infrastructure that is central to the US war effort as we speak. Al Udeid Base, Air Force base in Qatar. The US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. The multiple forward operating bases, or known as FOBs, across the region are actively being used as we speak in the campaign against Iran. So in that sense, striking Gulf infrastructure is legitimate response. And don't get me wrong, I'm not one to advocate for attacks or violence, whatever, but in self-defense, you, you don't negotiate, you don't think twice. That's like you taking a walk with your wife and somebody come and start harassing your wife. What, you're going to negotiate with the guy? You're going to issue one warning, and if not, you're going to have to take matters into your own hand. Simple as that. The law will back you on this. Same thing with this. International law will have to back what Iran is doing. So when Iran is striking, uh, the, the, uh, the, the legitimate targets as a response because they are realizing that those countries that hosting this are part of it. If these countries do not want to be involved in, they should ask the US to leave. Simple as that. So to those who are framing the Gulf as victim, I don't buy that argument. I don't buy it. That's for editorial, uh, pieces to sort of misled the population. All I can say right now is that those so-called Arab leaders or Muslim leaders who claim to be the guardian of Islam, which is nonsense anyway, no, have made their choices. And the choice is clear. The choice is clear. It wasn't Islam. It wasn't in this case what happened before Gaza. It wasn't Iran because it's a Muslim country, and it wasn't even you if you happen to be a Muslim. No, from the Gulf Towers all the way— Gulf Towers in Dubai— all the way to Riyadh, all the way to the palaces of Amman, all the way to Cairo, there is a quiet revolution already happening. People are watching. Not the kind that empowers people, no, no, no. But the kind that sells them out. And these regimes have traded Islam, unity or solidarity, whatever term you want to use, for Western security guarantees, normalizing relations for economic lifeline and also for political survival, for moral bankruptcy. That is what's at the heart of it. It's a reality. And the cruelest part that I found as an observer from outside in, as one who's been on the ground, I remember my first trip landing in Riyadh, and I was driving by such humongous mosques, and I asked, what is this for? I mean, don't they have enough mosques? You know, when people are starving somewhere else in the world, in the Muslim world, Why are you— even in Yemen, Ali Saleh, the late, the crazy one I call him, he built a mosque that cost $800— I asked, I went inside and I asked the manager, I said, how much this mosque cost? He said about $870 million, almost a billion. Where do you get the billion from? Oh, we got donations from the Muslim countries. And why? Why people still starving and you are building a mosque? Muslims not going to put food on the tables? Common sense. And this is the cruelest part: the Gulf States are doing it while building the world's grand mosques, as I said earlier, funding Islamic conferences, and invoke God's name on every speech. If that is not hypocrisy, I don't know what is. I have to, uh, sort of— it makes more sense. That's the way I see it. But history is watching, and more importantly, their own people are watching, be they in Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Sudan, you name it, Yemen, what have you. So the gap between this guy— what these governments are saying in Qatar, in Dubai, in Qatar, in Bahrain, and Kuwaitans, and what have you and what they are doing. Like, remember the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius? Watch what a man does, not what he says. Same argument. The gap between what this government are saying versus what they are doing is no longer a crack, like a fissure in a wall. No, no, no, no, it's a canyon. And Kenyans have a way of swallowing everything eventually, including the regimes that created them. That's what I'm seeing coming. Because the Muslim world, the way I look at it, once again, one who knows the culture, speaks the language, uh, the Muslim world, 1.8 billion, is not powerless and it's not voiceless either. It's simply waiting for now. Waiting for what? I don't know. One thing I know for sure is that the wait is growing shorter by the day. And the question is no longer whether this regime will be held accountable. The question is when and what the Muslim world will look like on the other side once the dust settles. Because the dust will settle at Iran's hand. So because one thing is certain, you, you cannot pray towards Mecca while bowing to Washington forever. That just doesn't make any sense. That's to me the pinnacle of hypocrisy, you know. And when it does, the world will never be the same. That is, again, something eventually will have to give. You can't, you know, as the— to those who speak French here, you know, the, the, the adage that goes, "La bie ne fait pas le moine," white dress doesn't make a priest. It's same apply to those Muslim imams, whatever, wearing white and all that stuff, and you pray while you carry, you harbor hypocrisy in your heart. That just doesn't make any sense. Anyway, uh, before I do my conclusion, and I am done here, I want just to give you a heads up. Uh, there's one story I'm working on, is that Iran receives— received 500 Hwasong-18 ICBMs from North Korea. Israel is doomed. So I am figuring out, I'm checking my info and all that, then I will do a live stream for you. Second thing is absolute bombshell. The Russian Chechens, the Russian Chechens combat unit now officially declared they will deploy to Iran to fight alongside Iranian forces if the U.S. launches a ground invasion. And remember, the 6th is the deadline according to Trump. We shall see. That is again where you see one good clip, one good clip that I want to share with you. It's from a German individual. It's in Germany, in German language. I'm sorry, it's worth listening to because you need to know. You need to know. Just bear with me a second here. And we're almost done here, guys. Wow, an hour plus. But hey, I know someone asked me, Dr. O, can you keep this shorter? I can't, because if I keep it shorter, you are not going to get the full picture. Take a listen quickly here.

Und deswegen ist es richtig, dass wir uns daran nicht beteiligen, liebe Freunde. Schiffe mit spanischen Gütern dürfen die Straße allerdings passieren. Warum dürfen die Spanier dort durch? Weil Spanien eben seine Basen für den Iran-Krieg sperrt. Und genau das ist richtig. Spanien mischt sich in diesen Krieg eben nicht ein. Und deshalb fangen wir an, wie es in unserem Grundsatzprogramm auch steht, fangen wir an, auch das umzusetzen mit dem Abzug der US-Truppen aus Deutschland, liebe Freunde.

Wow, that's the— here is what he says. This, that's by the way, it's Tino Chrupalla. He's the co-chairman of the Alternative for Germany, the AfD party. Calls for the withdrawal of US troops from Germany, warning against being dragged into a war against Iran. He points to to the permission granted to Spanish vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, commanding Spain's stance in closing its bases and avoiding involvement in the war. Yeah, it's spot on. It shows you some, some common sense people are waking up to the reality. So, and here is the, the, the My conclusion, which as I said I'll keep it brief here: the Gulf States, you know, the Gulf States, they are not innocent bystanders. They are active participants, opening their airspace, sharing intelligence, hosting the very military infrastructure being used to systematically dismantle Iran piece by piece. You are aware of that? US just attacked and destroyed a bridge, it's called B1. It's not completed yet, it was supposed to be inaugurated in June. Why you going now after infrastructure? And all the while sitting in Islamic summits quoting verses of the Quran, verses about unity, verses about how Muslim needs to be together. You know, that's the true meaning of munafiq in Arabic, the hypocrites. True meaning of it. But here is the part that should keep every Gulf ruler awake at night. Empires don't have permanent friends. If they only learn, they have permanent interests, right? And the moment you stop being useful you stop being protected. This is the harsh reality about how we Americans looking at those Gulf states. The Gulf states are gambling, are really gambling their future, their entire population's future on Washington's loyalty, that is, and Israel's gratitude. History suggests that when you do that, it's a very dangerous bet. You might want to think. So here is the question that I want to leave you with, and if you will be kind, just leave some comments in the comment section. Do you believe the Gulf States are willing partners in this war against Iran, or are they simply trapped with no real choice but to follow America's dictate? Let me repeat. Do you believe the Gulf states are willing partners in this war against Iran, or are they simply trapped with no real choice but to follow American dictates? So please drop me your answer below. I will greatly, uh, appreciate it. Uh, there is one thing, but I'm gonna save it for tomorrow when I do live stream for you. I want to thank you first of all for staying with me here till the end. I know it's a little bit long. Sorry for those who are asking me to cut it short, because if I cut it short, you won't have enough information. That is my point. And if you don't like, just scroll over and move to the section you want to hear. That's— I'm sorry, that's, that's just the way, uh, it's— I take this very seriously. It's my responsibility. If I spend 3 days gathering information from different sources around the world to provide you 1 hour of substantive information, then you can be patient a little bit. I would greatly appreciate it. I take this opportunity to say thank you to David Mills for your, uh, for your donations on PayPal in support of the channel. I'm very grateful. Thank you for that. Also, American Citizen, much appreciate you buying me cups of teas in support of my upcoming trip to Asia. And to Ramzi Abdurrahman, I want to say shukran jazilan. Thank you very much for your support of my channel by your generous donation. As always, is greatly, greatly appreciated. I have two individuals here, two individuals I want to say thank you to. It's Ray, thank you for becoming a YouTube channel. Make sure to join me on April 3rd for the Q&A for members. And Martel, Once again, uh, much appreciate your support, uh, uh, uh, of my, uh, uh, channel here, and I'm very, very grateful. I noticed you wrote, no analyst wants to say it, it's true. So could you give analysis on what ramifications Bibi's death might have on the war if it were to happen? Yeah, I will, uh, I will, I will confirm first of all, uh, his death and so forth. And, and, and yes, I, I'll maybe— I might get you an answer if you are a member of the channel. Uh, uh, you come over to the Q&A and we'll, we'll answer that one. And to all of you, I want to say thank you once again for, uh, for your support. Hold on, let me get back here. And, uh, I just want to share the link if you want to support the channel. I will be very, very grateful, uh, to you if you want to do this. Uh, tomorrow, as I said, I will be working on another story for you, again regarding Iran's acquisition of the ICBM missiles from North Korea. That's gonna be a game changer. It's gonna be a game changer. What I found interesting also, which I looked already, some of those, some of those missiles are for short range, and makes me just think If it is short range, then that is— that means for specific targets within the region. It'll be interesting to see how it's gonna move. Okay guys, uh, once again, thank you for being here, and I look forward to seeing you next time. As always, remember, geopolitics impacts your daily life in more ways than one. Till next time, bye-bye.
