First is, there's no verification, there's no understanding, knowledge that they have found buyers that are non-Chinese.
The Indians were flirting, they were thinking about it.
If they saw the 60 days become 120 days or 180 days,
They might have decided to move in there.
They had not done so.
They didn't find any other buyers besides the Chinese there.
There was a question of whether some of the trading firms would step in just to take product and resell it.
I think Trafigura or others.
I'm told they have not done that.
Perhaps, again, sort of waiting for this first 60-day period to become a little long-term insurance, see that the risk is reducing.
The fact there is no escrow account requirement that was attached to the license actually increases people's risk.
Because if you are doing a transaction with the IRGC, a terrorist organization, you don't really know what's going to happen to you later on, especially with the criminal liability side of a terrorist designation.
Whereas if they actually had a requirement to put money into escrow, you would actually be moving some of that liability risk onto the U.S.
government.
You would just be taking the product and then let the government find out how the payment's going to work later on.
The money gets trapped in escrow.
And the tolls, you know, it would be sanctionable without any sort of official waiver or license to be able to pay tolls for this purpose.
The U.S.
has come down pretty hard on the Omanis in past weeks for saying that they would be into it, they would collaborate on it.
When we saw some sort of collaboration happening, we saw a big slapdown of the Omanis very publicly, which was, I think, actually unexpected.
