00:00enhance our security and our other interests, particularly our economic interests. I was stunned
00:08when reporting started coming out about conversations in the White House, because in,
00:15you know, the years I was on the Senate Armed Services Committee and I was Secretary of State,
00:21any time we talked about Iran, any kind of war game scenario that we discussed, among the very first
00:30questions was, what if they close the Strait of Hormuz? What do we do? And then from the reporting,
00:38it sounded as though that just hadn't been really discussed, or at least not brought to the highest
00:44levels of the administration.
00:51Thank you very much.
