This was a strategy that the U.S.
started in the second Bush administration in 2006.
Yeah.
This guy, Stuart Levy, was reappointed by Obama, sort of quaint in 2026 America that a Republican would stay on into a Democratic administration.
And he pursued that strategy, handed it off to his successors in the Obama administration.
And that was the key to getting the Iran nuclear deal, right?
It was putting Iran under financial and economic pressure that then got them to the table for the 2015 deal.
And, you know, I think Trump,
It wasn't that he thought that the economic pressure wasn't working.
It was that he thought if he only put more pressure on Iran, he would get an even better deal.
Didn't work.
And so he tried to use military force instead.
I think the irony of the current situation, though, is that what Iran is doing
is they're basically taking a leaf from the U.S.
playbook.
They're saying, well, hold on.
The U.S.
has used its key choke point, which is the dollar, to try to pressure us.
And so the way for us to fight back is to say, well, what choke point do we have?
We have the Strait of Hormuz, the most important energy choke point in the world.
