Crude oil, if we can look up... West Texas Intermediate, 97.50, just under 100.

Well, this is getting a little nervous on an international scale because this is taking time.

And the longer time it takes, the longer the straits are closed, the more you're going to have supply issues.

And supply issues drives price.

And then fear drives price.

Can we go ahead and talk about the island?

Go for it, yes.

Yeah, so Kaharag Island, if I'm pronouncing this correctly, there's a picture of it right there, and you can see the satellite picture there.

Zoom in a bit, Rob.

The only thing that's on this island is a little square.

You see right on the edges there, the island, you see those lateral ports.

That's where giant tankers fuel, and then look what's on the island.

Tons and tons and tons of tanks, not military tanks, big round oil storage tanks.

This island has got tremendous pipelines that go under the sea, and it is the island that refuels, get this, as Pat said at the beginning, 90% of the exports from Iran go on that island.

If you were to hit this island and disable it, you will absolutely...

disable Iran's export capabilities, number one, but number two, you're gonna cause world oil prices to go up.

Now, some speculators in the US aren't upset by this, Pat.

They look at it this way, in the oil industry,

Vinny, if you and I were drilling oil in Permian Basin, West Texas Intermediate, now we're selling oil at $100.

A couple weeks ago, we were selling it at $68.50.
