Now, the fear is that as this war drags on, Michelle, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are hardening their positions and they could end up getting involved in hitting back at Iran.

We heard Saudi Arabia's foreign minister speaking last week that his country's patience is not unlimited.

So one of the reasons why we could see an effort and that this could lead to some kind of success is oil and gas prices are rising around the world.

This is causing a lot of strain in countries all over the world.

And also Gulf Arab countries, they continue to be hit hard.

Their energy facilities continue to be set on fire.

So there's a lot of reason for why there would be countries that would want this war to wind down.

But also one of the reasons why it might not be successful is because there's just no trust.

You know, Tehran and Washington were in talks last month when the U.S.

and Israel launched this war.

And with Iran's top leaders killed, including its top negotiator just last week, it's unclear who would be speaking right now on behalf of Iran.

Trump has laid out also stiff conditions for ending the war.

He's talking about no nuclear enrichment by Iran and degrading its ability to produce and fire missiles.

He's been clear about Iran needing to cut support to militias in Lebanon and Iraq.

This is also a demand by the UAE, which has been targeted by missiles and drones the most in the region, even more than Israel.

Now, there are also demands on Iran's side.

And Iran had already rejected all of that that Trump is wanting now, even before this war.

And now Iran is even saying it wants compensation for the war.

So all of this is happening as we continue to see hits across the region.

Iran hit the city of Tel Aviv this morning in Israel.
