And I think that's why over the last few years you have seen certain countries in the region change some of their positions on how they want to engage Iran. There are a lot of Gulf Arab countries, for example. who they by no means view Iran as a benevolent force in the region.

They're very aware of the threats that they could pose, but they also recognize that a war for them would be extremely costly. And so they're trying to adopt a different posture. And that's a recognition on their end of the costs that a potential full-out war with Iran could have. And I think the president, vice president, they know this.

And that is why they are making sure they're prioritizing diplomacy. And let me just say, thank God we have Steve Witkoff in the administration. He is truly doing the Lord's work and trying to stop this war through diplomacy and also end another ongoing war in Russia, Ukraine. And they're making sure that his effort is the main effort, not a military effort at the moment.

They don't want a major war in the Middle East right now because of what they're trying to do with their countries in terms of economic development, because they're trying to give their people a better life. It's worth noting that Khalid bin Salman, the Saudi defense minister, was in Tehran, I believe, a few days ago. And he's the brother of Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince.

And they recognize fully the threat that Iran poses. And they take it seriously. But just like the Trump administration, they are prioritizing diplomatic outreach and trying to achieve somewhat of a detente. And that doesn't mean you disarm and you join hands and the Middle East becomes this happy, hippie, circle jam band.
