Okay.

Now open up the Strait of Hormuz.

Then what you do is you go to the international community and you say, look, we left as a sign of good faith.

Okay.

We're out.

And so now we believe that this is what the argument would be, you know, whether you agree with it or not.

I'm just giving you an argument.

Um, we believe that international law should not allow fees or tolls to be charged if Iran wants to charge some sort of voluntary fee that tankers agree, you know, that that these VLCCs and other things they can do that, but

We don't support that.

And we will now go back and rally an international community in the event Iran continues to shut down the Strait of Hormuz while we're gone.

And so Iran would then have to make the decision.

Okay, well, what do we do?

Like at this point, they're gone.

They said they would leave.

Are we now going to um not open up the Strait of Hormuz until we get $13 billion of unfrozen funds?

Are we going to stand on that?

Or what are we going to do?

And I think it would put pressure on them to basically say, hey, well, we're going to open up the Strait of Hormuz for

At least three months.

While we'll negotiate all as you know, we can shut it down again.
