It's just an opening where the oil goes through.

Iran doesn't do anything, but they want to control it for the same reason the mafia wanted to control Canal Street.

And Trump has sort of outsmarted them.

He's like, okay, you build a circle around the Strait of Hormuz, we'll build a bigger circle around you.

and control the ships that go to Iranian ports.

And so Trump has in a way checkmated Iran, even in the one kind of final remaining card, what the Iranians thought was their Trump card, if I can use that term, and Trump has sort of outsmarted them.

Now,

Israel, I think, does want regime change in Iran, and maybe the Israelis want to keep going even after the United States has completed its mission.

This shows that American and Israeli interests are not identical.

We do what we need to do, America first, and then we're done.

And if the Israelis want to keep going, that's up to them.

In my opinion, you cannot do regime change without a land invasion, without going door to door.

You can't do it.

And so what that means is not that regime change cannot happen, but if regime change does happen, it has to be done in the end by the Iranian people themselves.

Remember at the end of the Cold War when the people themselves of Poland, Czechoslovakia, which is now the Czech Republic, Romania, Eastern Europe, Berlin, these are people who took back their own countries themselves.

They pulled down the Berlin Wall.

They went into the Romanian palace and grabbed Ceausescu and pulled him out of his office or his home.

So in other words, in the end, I think that people have to fight for their own freedom.

I don't think that we can assure regime change to Iran, much as I would like to see that happen.

I think we can create the conditions for it.
