Dont threaten the United States or there will be severe consequences. Everyone is watching and looking to see how it develops. No comment from the iranians yet. No comment from the uae and other gulf countries. This is a United Arab Emirates oil port terminal. This terminal has been developed
to avoid iranians ability to shutdown the strait of hormuz. It bypasses the strait with a pipeline which passes 1. 5 Million Barrels of oil a day. This is strategic. This is important and it has everyone worried and it is not clear at all at this time what with irans real intent is other than some of the sanctions will begin to start biting next week. Kaylee. Nic, thank you. Secretary of state mike pompeo Urging Turkey to release american pastor andrew brunson. Pompeo delivered that message in the meeting in singapore.
