The administration is claiming that because there's been a ceasefire pause, that there should be... It's no longer a war, as if when bombs... Are they asking to reset the counter?
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
They're trying to reset the clock.
And the thing is, is you can't say... Taking your hand off the base and tag rules and putting it back on.
Yeah, it's like you can't say when the war's only happening as bombs are being dropped and then the war stops when bombs are done being dropped.

The international law across the board shows a blockade is an act of war.

Yeah, so it's very much... I mean, I'm very concerned going forward with what's going to happen, especially since we...
we're now seeing Iran circumvent the straight and start striking the pipelines outside of, and that's definitely going to have market implications for sure for us and the world.
Of course they're doing that because it's working.
