And again, I think if President Trump starts thinking bigger picture, this is something he's uniquely postured to do.

He's a strong leader.

The Iranians still, even though they don't trust him, they view him as a strong leader.

I think he has a potential of resetting our relationship with Iran, even in the wake of all this.

I think you need to take the tensions down first.

That's why I'm recommending for us to get out of there.

But I do think there's a potential for us saying, hey, a strong Persian government – I mean right now we're dealing with the former leader of al-Qaeda in Syria.

It's not a far cry for us to deal with a group of Iranian leaders that maybe we don't like but we're going to deal with because they're an energy superpower.

Geographically, they're a superpower.

it's much better to be friends with them than having them shut down the Straits of Hormuz every time we get into a dispute with them.

So I think if we just recognize the world as it is and move past our own pride, I think we'll be in a much better spot.

Totally agree.

Joe, thank you so much for your time.

We appreciate your analysis, sir.

Thank you guys.

I really appreciate it.
