But, yeah, I think we will see a decreasing importance from the Strait of Hormuz, but not a decreasing importance of those nations' energy production and energy supply. They're great allies of the United States. They're key energy suppliers to the world, and we need to see prosperity, peace, and economic growth returning to that region. (05:36–05:45)
