[0:00] And also Operation Iron Gate, which was
[0:02] newly imposed, and that's land. So you
[0:05] have land and sea, total lockdown.
[0:08] I've agreed that Iran cannot have
[0:11] And everybody's agreeing. Iran will
[0:13] never have a nuclear weapon.
[0:15] And that's a non-negotiable point. They
[0:17] understand that. They accept that. They
[0:19] don't admit that they accept it.
[0:21] And they will tell you that they don't
[0:23] accept it, but they accept it 100% more
[0:27] than 100%.
[0:29] And should there be any change with
[0:31] respect to developments in the Middle
[0:32] East, the United States
[0:34] of America is fully locked and loaded
[0:38] with the
[0:39] best equipment ever made.
[0:42] And we don't think there's going to be
[0:45] any reason to use it. However,
[0:48] it's going very well. You know, we
[0:49] haven't lost a soldier in
[0:51] 6 months. If you look, you know, they
[0:53] talk about wars,
[0:56] Ukraine and Russia. And by the way,
[0:57] we're having a very good conversation
[0:59] about that in Abu Dhabi.
[1:02] Ukraine and Russia
[1:05] are losing about 25,000
[1:07] people a month, mostly soldiers.
[1:10] 2 months ago it was 32,000 people.
[1:13] And compare that with us. We haven't
[1:15] lost a soldier in
[1:17] 6 months. And
[1:20] nobody, not not even an injury.
[1:23] And yet we have
[1:25] the straits closed down.
[1:27] And more oil has come closed down to
[1:29] Iran. More oil has come out of the
[1:31] strait over the last week than at any
[1:34] point in the history of the Hormuz
[1:36] Strait.
[1:37] So we're doing very well, but at this
[1:39] point
[1:40] we it won't be necessary. Taking the
[1:43] the military action doesn't seem to be a
[1:45] very necessary thing, but we're locked
[1:47] and loaded, ready to go for any reason
[1:49] that changes. Israel a
