In all seriousness, they can easily shut down the Strait of Hormuz, and that’s no laughing matter. We don’t need that oil, but everybody who makes our stuff does.

They could close it, but not for very long. We’d force it back open, and they know it. Iran is telling the truth when they say they could hurt us, but they can’t stop us.

But the fact remains we’d get hurt and I’d rather not see that happen. I’d rather reach an accommodation with Iran, if that is possible.
