Yeah.
But I don't think we have any resolution to this for several months.
But I do think you're going to get the straight open or partially open and you're going to get the oil prices into an equipoise and I think you're going to have a cold peace
on this situation, but you're not going to have a resolution because Trump doesn't want to pay the money because of the tarring that he'll get that he's Obama-lite.
Netanyahu doesn't really want it to 100% stop either because of the political coalition that's fracturing before him.
And the Iranians don't care.
They just want to be able to sell oil so they can try to get their economy revived.
If you take those three points of the triangle, that's a 60-day freeze, let some oil through the Strait, and we'll be in this sort of weird equipoise.
But I think he's changed the right wing propaganda on this.
Because when you listen to Fox News or these other people and they just want you to go hard at the Iranians and beat them up like it's a sports team, I think he's now changed the narrative, which is this is a way more complex situation.
And so even the Fox News pundits, they can't seem to get around the fact that the realities are there's just only so much that the Americans can do.
And I'll just take you back to the tanker wars in 1984 to 1988, very similar situation, very tight parallels where we had to reluctantly escort commercial shipping out of there.
And I think that's where we're going to be.
The next president, Kat, will be sitting here saying, okay, well, Trump left me a mess.
How do I quietly resolve this with the Iranians so that I can have free flowing oil and goods and services coming through the strait?
And that will be done without talking to journalists.
That's my prediction.
That'll be done in a subterranean sort of a way.
It's a special day in the UK, also here in the US.
And look, as a dad myself, I wanted to give our listeners a quick tip.
