And then this is also a return to the, quote, maximum pressure strategy, maximum pressure

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

The idea is just a return to normal.

Trump both doesn't want to have to continue the war, but he doesn't want to surrender and show the world that he got absolutely humiliated.

We already threw every sanction in the world at Iran.

Now this is just even more of a sanction with a naval blockade.

All of this just means that they're flailing about.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

The global supply of oil is radically shrinking, radically shrinking every single week that this continues.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

This is still a closure.
