the u.s. navyem about that. the u.s. navy fifth fleet located in that region in bahrain this morning coming out with that very tough language. let me read to you what the u.s. navy is saying about this now. "anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international strait is clearly outside the community of nations." any disruption will not be tolerated. the u.s. navy maintains, as you know, hala, a number of warships in that region at all times and they're making it very clear that they will not tolerate iran shutting down that strait, which is international waters and a vital economic lifeline, hala. >> the strait of hormuz, once again, you'll see one big country there and that is saudi arabia. >> saudi arabia. >> saudi arabia. >> this is all about oil prices and the freedom of navigation of oil and other goods through this strait. oil over $100 a barrel. right now, of course, crude oil. the saudis are thought to be maybe to be unable to talk to the iranians. when we were out in t

jon: well the u.s. navy's fifth fleet has answered as i said saying that any closure of the strait of hormuz will not be tolerated. the fifth fleet could essentially sink the entire iranian navy if it wanted to, right? >> yeah. i've had many conversations with military officials here in this country over the years and it's not bluster and it's not boast. it's a fact if the iranians tried to block the straits of hormuz it would be a matter of two or three days at the most before the straits were reopened. the damage caused to iran would not just be to its navy which would be on the bottom of the sea but to a lot of land-based air and air defense mechanisms, radars and the like they would also be in jeopardy of losing. jon: so you think they're bluffing? >> i think in part they're trying to increase the perception in europe and in some circles of the white house here that there would be a military confrontation. to try to reduce both the threat of sanctions and the risk of military action against their nuclear w
