So all of that explains why I think this decision by the Iranian government to announce that it will allow ships to

travel through the straight of Hormuz if they sell oil in Chinese yuan. This really is a geopolitical earthquake that
43:26
could have massive repercussions not only politically but economically and
43:32

43:37

And even if Iran only succeeds
43:43

43:51
not something that's going to happen overnight, but it is something that absolutely is happening. And it's only

Iran is also targeting offices of major American corporations, and wants to force them out of the Middle East (West Asia), while trying to expel US military bases.
