So I think that's a very big reveal.
Iran provides a lot of oil and energy resources to China.
It provides drones to Russia for its war in Ukraine.
And if the government there changes, as it sure seems likely now, that's a significant blow to the bad guys.
It could in the long run.
Right now, Russia is relying on weapons from Iran and troops from North Korea for its war in Ukraine.
The Iranian inputs are now in question.
Now, historically, Russia has done quite well in wars of attrition, but right now on the battlefield, it doesn't look very good for Russia, and this certainly won't help.
Well, it's been very interesting.
Again, just in the last two days, a lot of the Sunni Arab states, which had expressed reservations about the U.S.
attacking Iran—
have basically said, we now support these attacks on Iran because, in part, Iran launched counterattacks against U.S.
bases in their countries.
So that has kind of, again, been a big reveal here that behind the scenes, it's very likely leaders from Saudi Arabia and these other countries were in fact encouraging the United States and then by extension Israel
to make this attack against Iran.
Iran is the enemy of pretty much everyone in that region, whether you're a Sunni Arab state or Israel or even Turkey, which has also voiced concerns about this attack.
Iran doesn't really get along with anybody.
Well, that's a great question.
Iran is a huge oil producer.
So if you have a change in government there and they're suddenly complying with the international system that we've established, that's actually much better for us in the grand scheme of things.
