Is it the Abraham Accords that's convincing Saudi Arabia to take a stance against Iran? No, I mean, they're already fighting with each other, right? I don't think the Abraham Accords moved us any closer towards any type of real peace in the region. What has to happen is something has to happen with Iran. There has to be some diplomatic bilateral communication there.

Hasn't that historically โ€“ hasn't that been the case, though, that you've had a region with tons of sectarian violence for a long time, and then finally Turkey was like, you know what? This isn't worth it. The United States paid them a lot of money. They had conversations with Israel, and you know what?

So you think that for Iran, right, a country that has been sanctioned for God knows how many years now, you think that for Iran, just continuing to sanction them and contain them is an effective way, is more effective than trying to engage them in bilateral or multilateral peace talks? Yes, 100%.

And I probably energizes hatred in the Gaza strip for them as well in terms of conducting, uh, in terms of conducting warfare.

Uh, the one thing that I always say to everybody, uh, especially Americans is you can't evaluate things from an American perspective. It's very stupid. It happened a lot with Ukraine where people like, Oh, oh, well, didn't they work with the Nazis? And like, weren't the Soviets the good guys? And it's like, well, in other parts of the world, it's not quite as simple.
