If it doesn't go well, I see that, as the Secretary of War said, our forces are still in the region.
and still will be able to bring power to bear.
I see the Iranian response, and I heard the other gentleman from the Quincy Institute talk about where the Iranians are and what they think.
It's kind of like a small child.
They throw a temper tantrum, but they really can't do much.
You're still the parent.
You still have the power.
They can say and do what they want.
What is really critical is that, in my opinion, are the two issues.
It's what we do and how we negotiate the nuclear issue, which is really important, but also the Strait of Hormuz.
And there's no way that we can allow Iran to charge tolls for transiting through the Strait of Hormuz.
The precedent that that would set would undo not just 250 years of American naval heritage,
but another two, three, 400 years of British and other nations.
We cannot allow the Iranians to have a toll booth to control an international waterway.
If we do that, then Beijing will try to do the same for the Strait of Malacca, the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, the Yellow Sea, and the Sea of Japan, to be honest, and beyond.
They want to control even around out to Hawaii and beyond.
So
We cannot allow that to happen.
I don't think the president will allow that to happen.
And I think the best way to demonstrate our ability in this negotiation is to have freedom of navigation with our ships.
