00:00Suffice it to say, we're serious about our sanctions.
00:02A cost needs to be imposed on Iran for what they are doing.
00:05Otherwise, if they get away with this, guys, if they get away with pulling this thing off
00:09without paying a price for it and backing down, you're going to see multiple places
00:13around the world where other countries are going to be tempted to do the same.
00:15This is unacceptable.
00:17Again, I want to reiterate the point.
00:19We keep arguing back and forth about the war and the shooting and this and that or the other.
00:22These guys are shut down an international waterway.
00:25The Straits of Hormuz do not belong to Iran.
00:27They don't have a right to shut it down and blow up ships and lay mines.
00:32And that's what they've done.
00:33That needs to be addressed.
00:34Otherwise, and it cannot be normalized under no circumstances until we live in a world where
00:38we accept, okay, this is normal.
00:39You have to coordinate with Iran.
00:41You have to pay them a toll in order to go through the Straits of Hormuz.
00:44Not only is that unacceptable in the Straits, you're creating a precedent that could be repeated
00:48in multiple other places around the world.
00:49The whole world should join us in this condemnation and the whole world should join us in doing
00:53something about it, by the way.
00:54It shouldn't just be us.
00:55We're hoping to get countries, we're going to give them a chance to do something about
00:58it at the United Nations.
