That's A. B, the Iranians, we went into this war trying to degrade Iran's nuclear capacity.
They discovered they had the nuclear option, the Strait of Hormuz.
The other thing, C, Iran since 79 has wanted to get the United States out of the Gulf and they become the Persian Empire again.
That is their task.
So how do you kind of undo this knot in some way?
My one view is on the short term, on the Strait of Hormuz, either all ships are out or no ships are out.
And you're going to cut off Iranians' money and China's energy.
Everybody's out or nobody's out.
And it's easier to close something, as the Iranians have proven, than for us to try to open it.
So reverse the score.
Second, medium term.
The Iranians want a fee.
I think we go to the UN's International Maritime Entity.
They run it.
There is a fee charge, but it goes to Iran, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, everybody who got suffered in this process, not just Iran.
And the dollars or the resources are split that way among all the countries.
And it's managed by the United Nations Maritime Association.
Third, long term, use the Abraham Accords beyond what it is as a peace agreement that we're a party to.
It now finances a pipeline for Kuwait, for the UAE, for Bahrain, et cetera, either to the Gulf of Oman or to the Red Sea.
So there's alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz.
