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.

And it makes it a lot harder, again, for these bad guys to do the wrong thing.

In terms of weapons sales, the Middle East is going to remain a thorny neighborhood for sure.

But I think if this regime in Iran changes significantly, that eliminates a lot of the conflicts that we've seen in the neighborhood, whether it's

Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen.

Iran has been their biggest supporter.

So pulling them out of the game is going to reduce tensions across the board.
