There are groups, for example, that patrol the border in the United States and they find the cartels are bringing over like Middle Eastern guys and they're, you know, sometimes escorting them on horseback and dropping off one Middle Eastern looking guy wearing like camo.
There's a very deep tie between the cartels and Middle Eastern terrorism, and a lot of that does go through these same networks.
I remember as a journalist, when I was investigating some of this, I was even told back probably well over a decade ago,
that Hezbollah even had training camps in Tijuana, that they were working with the cartels, they were teaching them how to build explosive devices, they were taking lessons from that.
Now we see the cartels doing drone bombs, you know, those little handheld drone bombs.
I was told that they were helping them on tunnel building, some of the technology they have for that, for the drug tunnels.
But again, part of the Iranian interest is smuggling networks and again, illicit underground untraceable finances.
Well, let me explain it like this.
So, when we think about business deals, oftentimes we're thinking microchips, we're thinking oil, we're thinking natural resources.
The world does not work like that.
There are surface world economies and there are underground economies.
And you have some countries that operate completely or almost completely in underground economies.
Black markets.
Some countries in Latin America are almost entirely black market economies.
North Korea is a black market economy.
They run four of the largest arms traders.
They're including in the Middle East, by the way.
They do counterfeiting of US dollars and other international currencies.
They do drug trade, and that's their economy.
Iran is not entirely, but heavily an underground economy.
