RICH EDSON (FOX CORRESPONDENT): Iran has its own list of demands. It wants the United States to lift sanctions, pay reparations, and also acknowledge that Iran has sovereignty over the Strait Of Hormuz. Back to you guys.

BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): Alright. We'll see what's going to happen. The bottom line is when this ends, Iran cannot be in control of that strait. They can't be decided — in a month or two, oh, we're going to shut it down again. This would be an ongoing display of power. So, hopefully, the USS Tripoli will answer that.
