I think it’ll be very safe, actually. But we have nothing to do with that.” The president said he expects the strait to reopen before U.S. operations end, but noted that Iran could still try to disrupt traffic through mines, gunfire or rockets. “That’s not for us,” the president said, arguing that other countries depend more on the waterway for their energy needs. “That’ll be for France, that’ll be for whoever is using the strait. But I think before we leave, that’s all cleared up.” #oil #gas #iran #cspan WZyGOuQL6yl zje9nOhhSZP TokHDZ9rWIX syxT2SN8phG JAUWVhX34D5 iRtwThjwgZs
