Yeah, in fact, Robert, would you like to hear about CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper talking about uncrewed surface vessels?

I will always listen to someone named Brad James.

You know that about me.

So as you can see, naval drones, uncrewed surface vessels.

This is going to be an issue in this conflict and many others going forward.

People are going to deny any reality that they don't want to engage with by saying that it is AI.

Yep.

And that's deeply troubling.

So let's talk about what has been happening since we last spoke.

Haag Island, an island in the Persian Gulf that is replete with oil infrastructure and storage facilities.

It's the island through which a large amount of Iran's oil exports travel.

Yeah, there's a basically so the most of the coast of Iran is too shallow.

for the huge vessels that are necessary to actually move crude oil.

And Karg Island is like a very rare deep water port, basically.

So it's kind of the hub.

Yeah.

I was struck by the United States last weekend of raid.

The claim that the raid only hit oil infrastructure on Karg Island.

It's very hard to get any independent information from Iran currently because of blackouts, because of the lack of connectivity, and because of regime oppression.

It's quite possible that what the US is saying is not true.
