And it's kind of the, you know, it's part of the diplomatic process.
It's part of the negotiation.
So I think it's in the interest of both of them that they will move beyond this and will return to some kind of negotiation.

economically for the region to get back into business, for the gas and the oil to start flowing again, and for the global economy to get a bit of a breather.
I think that what you could find is that... So Oman, for example, was proposing to the Iranians the other day a system where you'd have two corridors.
One would be that they'd go down past Iran and they'd have to check in with the Iranians.
And the other would be they'd go down through Oman and it'd be kind of free for everybody.
And so it may be that at some stage they come up with some idea that they charge some kind of fees.
They can say it's a fee for administration or for environmental protection or something or other, the way they can do all of these things.
So they won't officially charge a toll.
But nonetheless, there will be a system where Iran can make some money out of it.
I think, though, from the Iranian point of view, much, much more important than even the money they make
is the principle and, in fact, the fact that they can actually control shipping that goes through the Strait of Hormuz, because that's a lever that they can pull at any time that they want to get something out of their neighbours or their adversaries.
