So I don't know if it is necessary for them to escape.
You raise a very important point, though, which is that despite this level of tension, despite the fact that the straits uh traffic is down to a trickle, despite the fact that there's still essentially a blockade of blockade in place, the Iranians have not succeeded in really pushing up oil prices.
Now, that is not because oil prices shouldn't be higher.
Everyone I've spoken to who follows this much.
closer are baffled by the success the administration is having in pushing down oil prices artificially.
Uh, but that is not something that can work in the long run.
In the long run, this is gonna come back.
Um, and you're gonna see the paper price of oil and the actual price of of oil converge.
And that means that oil prices are likely gonna go higher.
But it seems like the Iranians have kind of either not felt the need or given up on the idea of fighting Trump when it comes to this type of um
uh artificial interference that he has managed to do in keeping all prices down.
Instead they're playing the long game in this
Right.
Well, one thing I think we've discussed in the past that I think is important to clarify, and I thought it was interesting that the vice president said that uh there's talks going on.
He didn't say diplomacy or negotiations.
The Iranians are very strict about how they divide these things.
They kept on keep on saying that there's no negotiations with the US taking place, and officially there isn't, uh, because they don't consider exchange of messages, et cetera, as negotiations.
And this
seems to be infuriating Trump, who doesn't see any distinction between these different things.
And as a result, thinks that the Iranis are lying to the media when they're saying that there are no negotiations taking place.
