Do you know the number of barrels of oil that China gets from Iran?

You think, oh, my God, Iran's selling all their oil to China.

But that's not where China is getting their oil from.

They're actually number eight on the total list.

I don't know if you knew that.

So China gets most of their oil from Saudi.

After Saudi, they get their most of their oil from Russia, then Iraq.

then Angola of all places, then the UAE, then Malaysia, and then boom, boom, boom, down on the list is Iran.

So China and Iran don't have that tight of a relationship.

I think the real relationship we got to look at is Iran and Russia.

Now there's stories that Russia is sort of helping Iran spy, and obviously there's a drone situation there.

But China, for the most part, I know we're talking about the Strait of Hormuz, I think they're just, my point is this, I think they're going to be like, hey, Iran, listen, guy.

You're screwing up all our other business with Saudi, with Iraq, with the UAE.

If you want us to help you at all, you open up the Strait of Hormuz, okay, guy?

Ni hao.

And then hangs up.

I don't think they're that close with Iran, in my opinion.

So let's have the conversation.

I'm China.

You're Iran.
