Yes.

We could blow up every boat in the entire Strait of Hormuz in probably 10 minutes if we wanted to.

So could other countries.

We're not going to do that.

And so I do think the argument of, well, they control things, well, I mean, it's a terroristic threat, and I hope that it's not going to become a reality.

But again, as we talked about yesterday, I think you have to apply rational actor theory here, reasonable man theory, as we used to talk about back in the days in law school.

If I owned a $100 million boat filled with oil right now,

I'd be a little bit apprehensive about allowing that boat to go through the Strait of Hormuz.

So until those individual boat owners and the corporations that run them and the CEOs that are in charge of them feel like their product and their boats are safe, then they're not going to move.

And so that will be the test to me of how much is there actually a ceasefire that can be trusted going on.

I think we'll know by the weekend.

J.D.

Do you think that J.D., having been opposed to these strikes, and the Iranians now presumably having read the New York Times article like we did, which takes you into the deliberations about this decision –

Could that help?

And second part here, I would say I think the leak of the article actually helps Trump some because people are saying and you and I know this is not true, but critics are saying, oh, he's a mad king.

Right.

They're making like Game of Thrones analogies.

You can't trust him.

You have no idea what's going around.

The article about the discussion surrounding what to do with Iran was actually Trump as board, basically board chair going around the room asking everybody for their opinions.
