I don't know people appreciate, like, how outrageous this is, how unacceptable it is that any country would fire and try to sink commercial vessels or put mines in the water. Both of these things are illegal. And so We're going to take it to the UN and we're going to give it another chance to be a forum in which we're not even asking people, like, commit troops to the region and help blow up the Iranian boats. All we're asking them to do is to condemn it, to call on Iran to stop blowing ships, to remove these mines and to allow humanitarian relief to come through because there's humanitarian aid that's trapped.
