Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

That one.

Okay, so take a look at this.

On the lower side is Oman.

The dark blue water is Oman, and there's the two old shipping lanes when the Strait of Hormuz was operating before the war.

See it?

One goes this way, one goes that way.

Those are known as shipping lanes, and they keep two miles in between for bad weather, fog, you know, all the kinds of things you want.

So these boats go this way and that way.

That's the way it was before.

You see the red gridded area there where Iran has declared it a hazardous area?

See that square there, Pat?

Yep.

Iran has said, we put a bunch of mines in here, but we can't remember where we put them.

That's why the president, in his quote that you just read.

Do you believe they really don't know where it's at?

No, I believe they're using the unknown to force their offer, which is, see the two lanes that now run through the pink?

The pink, although light, light red, is Iran territory waters, and they're trying to force the shipping lanes to reroute.

They're going to put the toll booth on Larac Island.

See that right there with the two lanes?
