00:00Here's what we know. We've been tracking three specific vessels over the weekend as these three
00:06have actually gone inbound or were headed inbound from the Gulf of Oman into the Persian Gulf over
00:12the weekend. And as things then stalled and as news flow then trickled through, two of the three
00:17actually made a U-turn. One actually went all the way through. Now, of the two that did stop and
00:24make a U-turn and did a holding pattern going into the Strait of Hormuz. One actually the last
00:29couple of hours then managed to go through. So you do see those two, of course, here on your screens.
00:34The one other is here. Okay. What time is it now? 10, 12 in the morning here in Hong Kong.
00:38So in less
00:39than 12 hours from now, we understand based on what the U.S. military says that they will conduct a
00:44blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. And the reason that's important, two things, is because that
00:48blockade, according to the statement coming through out of the U.S. Central Command, will be enforced
00:55impartially against vessels of all nations or departing Iranian ports and coastal airs. In other
01:01words, what your signal is, what your destination, who the owner is, will likely not matter to the U.S.
01:07Navy. The reason that is important, too, is also one of the conditions of the ceasefire is how will
01:13Iran then respond if, in fact, we do get that blockade, right? Because if they respond and see
01:18this as an act of war, that then might constitute the end of this very fragile ceasefire that ended,
01:23that started last week.
