[Verse 1]
Trump says the talks with Tehran are moving along
"Good conversations," but the warning isn't gone
If negotiations crumble, more strikes could arrive
Diplomacy's a tightrope, both sides trying to survive
Meanwhile Netanyahu's picking up the phone
Saudi deal and regional violence, nothing left alone
The ex-ambassador confirms a call is due
Pressure building like a sandstorm pressing through
[Chorus]
Drones from Iraq, oil facilities scarred
Saudi pipelines tested, infrastructure jarred
Iran-backed militias in the crosshairs again
The east-west corridor bleeding at both ends
Houthis claiming targets, Riyadh intercepting fire
The Gulf is not a furnace — it's a compressed wire
[Verse 2]
Saudi Arabia halted operations cold
At a major oil facility, that story's being told
Drones came sweeping from the Iraqi direction
Riyadh defending with aerial detection
The Houthis say they struck the transport veins
The lifeblood of the oil trade running through those plains
Al Jazeera, France 24, Reuters all confirmed
The pipelines were the target, every outlet has affirmed
[Chorus]
Drones from Iraq, oil facilities scarred
Saudi pipelines tested, infrastructure jarred
Iran-backed militias in the crosshairs again
The east-west corridor bleeding at both ends
Houthis claiming targets, Riyadh intercepting fire
The Gulf is not a furnace — it's a compressed wire
[Bridge]
Now here's a word for the vocabulary keen —
*Sanguinary* — meaning bloodshed, violent and extreme
These conflicts carry costs that markets quickly feel
Brookfield raised two billion for a Middle East deal
Private equity flowing where the tension is immense
Capital is *sanguinary* in its own dark sense
Two billion dollars betting on a region under stress
Investors reading chaos like a geopolitical chess
[Verse 3]
So count the players in this layered desert game
Washington and Riyadh, Tehran bearing blame
Houthi drones are proxies in a war by other hands
Every intercepted missile shifts the balance of demands
Diplomacy in one ear, artillery in the other
The Gulf speaks in coordinates — not as friend or brother
[Chorus]
Drones from Iraq, oil facilities scarred
Saudi pipelines tested, infrastructure jarred
Iran-backed militias in the crosshairs again
The east-west corridor bleeding at both ends
Houthis claiming targets, Riyadh intercepting fire
The Gulf is not a furnace — it's a compressed wire
[Outro]
July twenty-eight — mark the date, know the names
The pipelines, the proxies, the diplomatic games
Good talks or more strikes — the answer isn't clear
The Gulf held its breath on this day of the year
