I think the president's following in on a long standing American commitment. We do not want Iran to ever have nuclear weapons. And that's really what this is all about in the end. And It's about reopening the Strait of Hormuz. So that we can have normal traffic through there and that would bring down gasoline prices. We don't have any lack of supply in the United States but anything that disrupts the global supply pushes up the price for everybody. (08:00–08:08)
