The US White House on May 21 said no one in the world favours a tolling system imposed by the Iranian government as the discrepancies among the parties involved in the talks to end the US-Israel war against Iran appear to remain as a stumbling block.

The International Energy Agency said the start of peak summer fuel demand combined with the lack of new oil exports from the Middle East and depleting stocks could push the oil market into the "red zone" in July or August.

00:17How do you want things to end up with Australia in Hormuzo, would you like them to happen?
00:21Well, we want it open. We want it free. We don't want tolls.
00:26It's international. It's an international waterway.
00:28They're not charging tolls. Right now, they are losing $500 million a day is what it's projected.
00:35I don't know. It sounds like a lot of money.
00:36But whether it's 500 or 200 or 300, they're losing a lot of money.
00:41There hasn't been a ship that's been able to get through without our approval.
00:45And the Navy has done an amazing job. And no ship is going to Iran, as you know.
00:52No ship is going to or out of Iran without our approval.
00:55And they keep their highly enriched uranium.
00:57No, no. We get the highly enriched. We will get it.
01:01We don't need it. We don't want it.
01:03We'll probably destroy it after we get it.
01:05But we're not going to let them have it. Okay?
01:08Thank you very much.
01:14No one in the world is in favor of a tolling system. It can't happen. It would be unacceptable. It
01:19would make a diplomatic deal unfeasible if they were to continue to pursue that.
01:22So it's a threat to the world if they were to try to do that. And it's completely illegal, by
01:26the way.
01:27If all these countries around the world agree with us that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon, that this regime
01:32is a threat to world peace and security, that already have missiles that can reach Europe.
01:35They don't have missiles that can reach America yet. But they have missiles that can reach Europe. We're actually step
01:40forward and do something about it. And everyone goes into hiding. Yeah, I think we're very upset about that. The
01:45president has made that very clear.
01:46I believe the Pakistanis will be traveling to Tehran today. So hopefully that will advance this further. The president's preference
01:53is to do a good deal. That's his preference. It's always been his preference. If we can get a good
01:57deal done, that would be great. I'm not here to tell you that it's going to happen for sure. But
02:01I'm here to tell you that we're going to do everything we can to see if we can get one.
02:04But if we can't get a good deal, the president's been clear. He has other options. I'm not going to
02:08elaborate on what those are, but everybody knows what those are. But his preference is always a deal. His preference
02:13is always an agreement. His preference is always diplomacy.
02:15So let's see if we can get there. So let's see if we can get there. There's some good signs,
02:20but we understand. I don't want to be overly optimistic as well. So let's see what happens over the next
02:24few days.
02:26I'm fascinated about this discussion. Thank you.
02:29These stocks we have, it is eroding. If we have money in the pocket, and if you don't have income
02:39coming, you can spend, spend, but then there is the end of it. We are coming to the end of
02:44it.
02:44And the problem is end of June, early July, the travel season starts. What does it mean? Typically, oil demand,
02:58oil consumption goes up.
02:59So these two things, the stocks are eroding. Not new oil is coming from Middle East, and the demand is
03:12increasing. This may be difficult, and we may be entering the red zone in July, August, if we don't see
03:23that there are some improvements in the situation. This is how I see it.
03:27And just by the red zone, what do you mean?
03:30A zone which is red.
03:32There you go.
03:33There you go!
03:38You.
03:38You
