And so I think with an eye on horizon, then you can see that this is a huge positive for the global economy and global markets.
The question is, when will the current near-term disruption end?
And that's something that'll be decided by the military.
And there, of course, will be some uncertainty about when they decide to move, in part because the uncertainty protects the lives of American soldiers.
But we expect that it'll be resolved quite soon.
Oh, sure.
The sanction waiver that Secretary Besant came out with is just one of many, many tools that we have ready.
We've got a whole flowchart of tools to use, depending on this or that, and we're ready to move them as soon as we have to, but we're also very optimistic that we're going to be able to get this near-term problem resolved relatively quickly.
You know, there is no conversation right now to dip into that, but we've got something like 400 million barrels ready to go if needed.
But there is, I re-emphasize that there has not been a conversation to dip into that yet because our expectation is that this effort in Iran is way ahead of schedule and that we understand that there are near-term market fluctuations, but we have our eyes on the horizon and we think that's where people should be looking to.
Kevin, you say ahead of schedule.
Is there a schedule?
Yes, but obviously we're not going to go through the schedule on TV.
There's nobody that expects that we're going to have a disruption that is anything like what the bears right now fear.
This is a matter that is being studied very closely by the military and discussed constantly.
And I expect a heck of a lot of progress was made in coming up with a plan that can do exactly what the president has suggested.
Well, I think it's really the insurance and the naval effort and the destruction of the Iranian assault capability.
Those things are all on the table.
And I think that markets will move forward quickly once it's clear that the military, U.S.
military, has resolved those matters.
