What are the implications of the U.S. military actions in the Gulf States?
Now here in 2026, you are president. Are you thinking about taking Karg Island, where 90% of the Iranian oil goes through, and what do you think about ... Do you remember that interview and that school of thought? Yeah, but Brian, I can't answer a question like that, and you shouldn't be even asking it. It's one of so many different things. It's not high on the list, but it's one of so many different things, and I can change my mind in seconds. you know, for you to ask a question. Who would answer a question like that? I mean, you're asking me a question, Carg Island, okay, everything. Who would ask a question like that, and what fool would answer it, okay?
Let's say I was going to do it, or let's say I wasn't going to do it. What would I say? Oh, yes, Brian, I'm thinking about doing it.
Let me let you know what time and when it'll take place. It's not...
you know it's sort of a foolish question a little surprising for you because you're a smart man i am but you were just pretty amazing that you thought about in nineteen eighty eight moments ago at my direction the united states central command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the middle east and totally obliterated every military target in iran's crown jewel card island He continues, our weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the world has ever known, but for reasons of decency, I've chosen not to wipe out the oil infrastructure on the island. The president then adds, however, should Iran or anyone else do anything to interfere with the free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz,
i will immediately reconsider this decision karg island is where most of iran's oil exports flow it has gone untouched until now also we should point out today we learned that some 2500 marines and sailors are headed into the region and though we don't yet know what this marine expeditionary unit's mission is or may be they are traditionally used for large-scale evacuations as well as amphibious assaults The president, as you know, has either ruled out ground combat or hasn't ruled it in or out, I should say.
Was Trump says that military targets were struck. But why not effectively try to take over the island to control the oil oil coming out of there?
If he had done that, it would have been a major escalation. Ninety percent of Iran's oil experts go through this one tiny island. It's about five miles long, about 20 miles out into the Persian Gulf. And so this is a Trump pressure tactic. This is, you know, I'm going to strike all the military targets on this island, but I'm not going to all these refineries and other things like that. I think he's just trying to, again, pressure the iranian regime which the administration seems to think is going to work you know more bombs and more pressure and they're just going to cave um i don't i don't think this strike will force them to cave but that's why it's significant that he did not take out all that oil infrastructure and then most importantly if he took out all the oil infrastructure that would drive up oil prices what do you see tomorrow what do you see the next day they're going to be hit so hard they're going to be hit they can talk all they want but you know let's see
what they do. So they're going to maybe do something having to do with the Straits. I don't know.
But they're being hit so hard. It'll take them 20 years to rebuild.
They have a very professional military. People are going to do their jobs. They're going to do them very professionally. I think there has to be some question about where is this all leading? What was the plan? What is the strategy? We've heard a number of different versions of that. I think it's helpful for the military to have a clear objective, a clear mission. Julian described the situation in the Straits very accurately. It's a very tough problem. It's a problem we've been looking at. I've been looking at in scenarios for 20 or 30 years now. It's going to take a large force. I think our military people, our professionals understand that.
