What was said

"They know that the Russians have been actively helping the Iranians in the war, and they're kind of cheesed off."

The speaker reveals that Persian Gulf sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE sent smaller delegations to Russia's economic forum because Russia has been actively assisting Iran militarily. This insider information about deteriorating Russia-Gulf relations adds context to shifting Middle Eastern geopolitical alignments and explains reduced investment interest from wealthy Arab states.
