I don't mean to put too fine a term on it, but it's a massive up, isn't it?

One of the issues that we haven't addressed is terrorism and global terrorism.

And there's a very real threat now that Iran is going to launch a global wave of terror.

I mean, I don't mean to put too fine a term on it, but it's a massive f*** up, isn't it?

And we're not winning in another sense because we've been talking about the Strait of Hormuz and that is Iran's trump card.

Just talk a little bit what it actually means for the global economy

if it continues with the shutdown, or if Iran continues with the shutdown, I should say.

It seems to me that Iran have got a stranglehold –

with the Strait of Hormuz on the global economy, haven't they?

Because the worrying thing is, for me, and again, push back on this, I'm just a regular Joe, blah, blah, blah.

But you look at the Strait of Hormuz shutting down, and you go, immediately, there is a timeline here.

This can't carry on indefinitely.

And Iran are the one holding the cards.

Because...

that we need it opened.

If not, we're going to be in dire straits economically.

And by we, I mean the globe.

And eventually pressure is going to come to bear on the Americans

And then they're going to have to capitulate.

Or am I projecting?
