but we don't know if the pipeline itself was damaged.

So it's really hard to say what that's, you know, specifically going to do other than the fact that it's going to drive up oil prices.

I think oil closed at 114 today.

So it was up nearly six bucks by the end.

And this stuff's been going on since like four o'clock this morning today, the whole day was like this.

And when they came out and said they were going to escort ships and

And then they said, well, we're not going to escort them.

We're actually just going to kind of talk them through it.

I was like, what are we doing?

Obviously, I'm not a military strategist, but this whole thing seemed kind of odd to me.

So when he came out and said that on Sunday night, he does this on Sunday night because international markets open on Sunday night.

A lot of people thought it was a manipulation thing, but the thing was it didn't work.

Like the markets dropped for a couple of minutes, but they had to immediately come out and say, no, we're not actually escorting anyone.

We're not doing that because that's –

the impression apparently that donald trump gave to be fair he didn't say the word escort uh in his tweet or truth or whatever it was he said we're going to guide ships through the strait and get them all out of the strait so everyone assumed that meant because he said we're going to use naval forces so you know people are like oh that means we're going to escort them

they immediately came out within minutes and said, no, we're not escorting anybody.

We're going to give them the maps and we're going to talk them through it, lend them an ear, whatever the hell it is we're actually doing with that.

The whole day's been nuts.

Like Iran immediately this morning claimed they hit a destroyer or a warship or something.

I'm not sure.
