However, they all share common goals, common interests, a common ideology. So... When the Iranians go to the Houthis and say to them, or the Houthis go to the Iranians and say, we want to hit international shipping, they work that out between them. If the Iranians think that the Houthis' actions are going to prepare the group, they'll try and dial them back.

There's some reporting out there now that the Iranians are trying to advise the Houthis to dial it back.

Within that, there is a deniability. The Iranians are insisting they don't tell the Houthis what to do. The Houthis are their own entity. The Iranians will claim that they're not directing their activities. That's, of course, all is a lie. I do believe that there is some truth to that. The Houthis may have overreached here, not because of... Well, only because of change of administrations.

And this is where the change of administrations works against the Iranians, right? If there was a Biden or a Harris administration and you had continuing policies, I'd be very much willing to bet that these would be resuming strikes. So they do act rationally to ensure their survival.

Their motto is death to Israel, death to America, long live Islam. I'm paraphrasing it, but that's really it. Yeah. At the end of the day, they want those things, but they need to survive. And this is stunning. If you would ask me about nine months ago, the Iranians and their proxies had all the advantages, but they definitely overreached.

They didn't calculate that the Israelis were willing to launch strikes deep into Israel, which has really, I think, shocked the Israelis at the... I'm sorry, the Iranians at the Israeli abilities to launch targeted strikes against their... against their infrastructure.

I believe that they are going to back down. They're not going to admit it, but I don't think we're going to see it continuing attacks against U.S. shipping, particularly if the Trump administration directly targets Houthi leadership. Their leaders, they want to survive. They want to follow through on their death to America and death to Israel pledge.
