And I do worry that even if what you described happens, you've got another pinch point on the straits off the coast of Yemen. Yeah. And I believe that if Iran has denial capability in the Straits of Hormuz, they'll just use the same tactics and the same cheap drones and the same technology to harass shipping, deny insurance coverage in the straits out of the Red Sea. Now you've got a compounding problem. So I think this is going to get worse before it gets better. I think this is going to be more costly over time. (25:09–25:28)

CLAIM

Asserts that Iran could use similar tactics to disrupt shipping in the Red Sea as it does in the Straits of Hormuz.
