[00:00:00]getting an agreement that would restore freedom of navigation of the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz without Iran laying claim to it and being able to tax people going through it and ships. I think that's probably the most important goal at this moment.

[00:00:17]Uh but of course that doesn't address the other core issues that we have with Iran uh such as its nuclear stockpile of almost a thousand pounds of 60% enriched uranium that's just one level below weapons grade uh the right to enrich in the future uh their support to proxies in the region that are pretty murderous that Hamas, Hezbollah, Shia militia in Iraq, Houthis in Yemen.

[00:00:44]Um and then the missile programs and the rest of this and I think it's a pretty limited amount of these other concerns that may ever get addressed but clearly there has to be an agreement to get the Strait reopened uh and to restore freedom of navigation without there might be some arrangement where perhaps there's some modest fee charged that might go in part to Iran, Oman, uh who knows and then navigation aids or something like this.

[00:01:13]Uh but that I think is the imperative at this moment in time and I'm not sure that Iran is going to be willing to do that. Right now they are insistent that they are given control of the Gulf the Strait uh and that they are able to charge tolls for it. That's just I think unacceptable and it may be that we have to go back to war uh to show them that we're pretty serious about this.
