Who are they fighting with, if anyone?

What's their relationship between Iran and the U.S.

and maybe Iran and Israel?

Let's talk just a bit more about the relationship between Iran and its neighbors.

I've seen some scholars describe Iran's strategy as triangular coercion, which is an idea that comes out of game theory.

The idea being that Iran, in order to stymie or beat a much more powerful military like the U.S., will attack neutral or neutral-ish third parties.

Were you surprised to see Iran do that?

And what do you think are the ramifications of those attacks, especially on the UAE, let's say?

People have short memories.

Let's just talk a little bit more about the UAE, especially in contrast to Saudi Arabia.

So the UAE left OPEC.

It seems to be developing more of a rivalry with Saudi Arabia.

Also, the UAE has been using the Iron Dome system from Israel to defend itself against Iran, even though...

Cooperation with Israel is still taboo among most of the Arab public.

So where is the UAE positioning itself?

Where does it find itself in a year or three from now, especially in relation to Saudi, Iran, Israel, and the U.S., let's say?

Where do you think that moves?

Because it's been put on pause during the Iranian war.

You said earlier that...

Israel was not really under threat by Iran, which surprises me because the proxies Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south, it certainly, I think, feels like a constant threat if you're living in Israel.
