It was a warning set of shots it fired yesterday.
Now, we don't really know.
We're not in Iran's head in the in the decision loop.
So we don't know if they meant to hit a U.S.
ship and missed.
or if it was a warning shot, but this is going to become clearer in the next day or two or this week, very, very likely.
It really is the case, the Trump administration has effectively, if you play chess, what they've done is they've put a pawn in the middle of the board
And they've dared the other player to take it when the other player has a lot of pieces to go and take it.
And if it doesn't take that pawn, then more is coming.
You see what I mean?
That's the kind of gambit that's going on.
But it's a very high-risk gambit.
And it's risky for U.S.
troops.
And it's really going to be risky for the world's economy.
Because the kind of damage coming is going to be much more longer term damage.
Right.
That's right.
This is completely to be expected.
And you've heard me talk about this earlier.
