00:00We are seeing vessels transiting. There are paths that are open and part of what the president is
00:05threatening is ensuring if there's attempts to lay recklessly and irresponsibly lay more mines,
00:10we're going to deal with that. It's a violation of the ceasefire. So transit is occurring much
00:15more limited than anybody would like to see and with more risk than people would like to see. But
00:19that's because Iran is doing irresponsible things with small fast boats, crafts, like I said, with
00:25weapons on them. These are commercial ships, in some cases, cruise ships, cruise ships that came
00:31through being threatened by these. So as far as breaching the blockade, it's been a pretty consistent
00:38or a number of ships at the beginning. Then you had the interdiction that the chairman described
00:42where we took out the engine room and disabled that ship. I think that sent a very clear sign that
00:47this is not a fake blockade. This is a real full blockade. We'll use up to and including lethal
00:52force if necessary. And that stopped and other ships have taken note of that. So any ships
00:57that have attempted, there's been levels of escalation, but none that far and they've turned
01:03around. Absolutely.
