Iranian leadership: Let's build nuclear centrifuges and enrich uranium. Saudi leadership: Let's build another luxury hotel, but with a clock on top of it, like Big Ben. Iranian leadership: Drones are the weapon of the future. Let's build the cheapest, most effective kind. Saudi leadership: Let's build a random city in the desert, but make it a line and give it a cool name like Neom. Iranian leadership: Ballistic missiles will establish deterrence. Let's become a global leader in hypersonics. Saudi leadership: Let's build the biggest cube-shaped shopping mall in the world.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Iran's demands for a peace deal with the U.S have changed Previously, they wanted U.S bases out of the region, along with compensation for the damages from the war Now their main demands are compensations, sanctions lifting, and guarantees of no future war This is very important as the removal of U.S. bases from the region is a delusional request, so I am glad this is off the table Iran also needs to forget about compensation, Trump will never accept But the other two conditions, I think they are workable I think Trump will lift the sanctions if Iran becomes more friendly to the U.S., giving Trump more leverage over the Strait of Hormuz And regarding guarantees to prevent another war, well that's easy, as Iran proved they can close the Strait of Hormuz and sustain heavy bombing while still attacking Israel and the Gulf. And they can mine the Strait. These are the ultimate deterants for any future war So in brief: - Security guaratees are already established by Iran's ability to close the Strait - Trump I think will be open to lift the sanctions - Reparations, I'm sure a solution can be found in a different format I'm optimistic we are going to get a peace deal soon!

The market is currently betting that this whole "Hormuz problem" gets cleaned up in the next 30 days. And I’m looking at the data from my office in Abu Dhabi, and so far it’s heading that way. But if that two-mile-wide spigot stays choked for three months, you’re looking at a global catastrophe. History is a simple guide: keep oil above $93 for a quarter, and all 11 sectors of the US economy start to bleed out. Japan is already staring down the barrel with 70% of its imports at risk.

SECRETARY RUBIO: The United Nations still has tremendous potential to be a tool for good in the world but we cannot ignore that on the most pressing matters before us, it has no answers and has played virtually no role.

He has been a strategic architect of the UAE's regional posture through DP world as the crown jewel of Emirati statecraft. The networks he built including through Epstein will have lasting benefits for the UAE.
