So it's not true.
voice-verified
Just because we're not bombing Iran doesn't mean Iran is not using attacks.
voice-verified
So it's not tit for tat anymore.
voice-verified
There's no tit for tat's been gone.
voice-verified
This is just a wrong framing.
voice-verified
What's occurring is Iran is initiating attacks.
voice-verified
They've attacked seven UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz since August 5th.
voice-verified
And what they're doing is they're trying to squeeze America economically in order to have gas prices raised.
voice-verified
in order to wreck the Trump presidency.
voice-verified
There's a clear game plan here by Iran that I think the media is mostly missing, which is Iran is not sitting back and is it, oh, treading water.
voice-verified
Iran is squeezing the oil more and more in the Persian Gulf and also with the Houthis against Saudi oil.
voice-verified
And what that's doing is it's causing the price of gas to go up and also causing
voice-verified
real rockiness in our financial markets.
voice-verified
Those are the reasons for that.
voice-verified
And I think they want to do that through the midterms, at least maybe through January, to basically wreck the Trump presidency and install the Democrats and force the Democrats to take a position on the Iran war.
voice-verified
So this is Iran playing American politics, not just simply treading water.
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
Thank you very much for having me.
Yes, well, thank you for talking about this.
This is really quite a tragic moment.
