Just block the Gulf of Oman.

Be far enough standoff if he has to.

Just block.

gulf of oman before it gets to the arabian sea and uh turn back every ship don't anybody come in and turn back every ship and don't let any of these dark ships and don't let the chinese communist party get their fuel because you got to give a wake-up call to xi because they also think they're on the winning side right now um you have argued i want you to go with details

We weren't there yet.

In fact, you're saying, hey, the mining situation was very cloudy, although it looked like there was no mines.

You sent the two Arleigh Burke class, I think, destroyers through yesterday.

You kind of now have proven or at least proven, I think, to enough people that there's not really hasn't been a big minefield laid.

And now because of other.

things that we did to make sure that we could defang and declaw, you can actually do a naval blockade.

Is that your theory of the case here, is that it took a while for Admiral Cooper and the team at CENTCOM to do this, sir?

Hang on.

Hang on.

I agree with that.

That's exactly why the Iranians are saying you can't trust the Americans.

The Americans want these ceasefires so they can restock and rearm.

And then at the other end of it, come out and say, hey, guess what?

I think now that we're rearmed and restocked,

We're going to put a full blockade on from their perspective.

They kind of played into Trump's.
