Well, we're seeing that happen.

So Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Al Thani, says that Gulf states and Iran, GCC, are negotiating a new regional security framework, one that relies less on Washington and one that relies more on regional cooperation.

For decades, as Aymeen Jamil explains, Gulf security rested on the U.S.

umbrella.

But what we saw now with the U.S.

failure

in the catastrophic war in Iran.

The Arab nations are now saying, why would we ever be allied with the United States?

We can't depend on a US security umbrella.

So the Gulf countries are moving toward a multipolar security order that will include Iran.

So whether this becomes a lasting stability or temporary alignment remains to be seen.

But the entire regional architecture is shifting.

U.S.

out, Iran in, in terms of the Abraham Accords, which was kind of Israel, UAE, Bahrain,

dictating terms in the region, that weakening and now a new arrangement rising with Iran in command, in charge.

I want to note as well, while you have those regional developments, you have Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump continuing to cause irreparable harm to the United States military.

I did a video on it this morning about General Christopher Donoghue

a four-star general, the last US soldier to leave Afghanistan in 2021, was basically forced to resign.

Hegseth kicked him out.

He was the US Army commander in Europe and Africa.
