LIZ PEEK (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): I love the idea of Kharg Island being a U.S. asset. Look, Iran is holding the entire world and all of the economies of the world hostage by dint of the Strait of Hormuz and their control of it. It is their last card they have to play. I think President Trump is totally correct, set a deadline, follow through if necessary. Don't worry about the critics saying that this is a war crime. After all, Iran has been doing exactly the same kind of targeting of civilian assets in Kuwait, in Abu Dhabi, etc. So, I think — I hope they don't do it, Maria, I hope we don't want to get to that point — but we need this to end. We need this to end, like, right away, and I think that's why markets have been responding somewhat positively. They know, investors know we cannot let the whole world be basically controlled by a bunch of terrorists in Iran. And that's basically what's happening.
