I think those Shia militias, by the way, may also continue the smuggling of Captagon, this addictive drug that has helped fund the Assad regime in the past. It's going to yield money to Hezbollah and to the regime itself. I can imagine that that smuggling is going to continue by way of Iraq into Jordan.

Jordan has been a popular place for the smuggling of that drug, but also weapons and cash bound for the West Bank. So, yeah, I'm going to see. I think we should expect Iraq to become some sort of an operational hub

for the regime i think look the good news is is that it's now further away from lebanon and it's further away from israel but the regime has not stopped trying to destabilize the middle east they're going to keep it going again that's just one more reason why i think we need to push back against this regime and try to bring it down and i think using the iranian people is going to be the

Better way of doing this, the non-kinetic way, but we're going to need to give them real support and it's going to need to be a whole of government effort, in my view, on the part of the Trump administration. I take your point.

No, I think you're right. It's a huge lucrative business. And the smugglers on the Jordanian border, I'm sure, have already figured out how to talk to the new Al-Qaeda leadership that's taken over Turkish-backed. I'm sure the Turks would probably love it. uh, to benefit from, uh, from, from that drug trade. I think we should expect the Turks to try to take it over.

Uh, but again, I think you're going to probably see some new smuggling networks from, uh, from the Iraqi, uh, side of things where the Iranians are going to try to exploit that process as well.

But I do think that the Iranian land bridge, as we used to call it, the Shiite Crescent, has been disrupted. It's good news.
