FULL PRESS CONFERENCE: US Senator Says Iran Regime At Weakest Point Since 1979 | DRM News | AC1F

Published | Video Starts at 17:15

I've gotten to know MBS pretty well. I think his vision for the region of integration and economic growth and AI dominance can only happen with a region not on perpetual fire. As long as the Ayatollah is around, he's up to no good. If the regime does collapse, cost the demand of the Iranian people, then I think this region will explode in a good way. If the Ayatollah is still standing, it will explode in a bad way. (17:15–17:19)

CLAIM
