What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPer CNBC, a fragile rebound in oil exports is threatened by Iran attacks in Hormuz.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNearly twenty commercial ships, mostly tankers, have come under attack over the past month.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, twenty tankers? That's a lot of floating gas stations having a terrible month. So is oil smirking because it knew?

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOil is not smirking, Kenji. Oil has no face. The attacks span Hormuz, the Persian Gulf and the coast of Oman.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have been to all three. I was asked to leave one.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou got kicked out of a gulf? That's a flex, Gloria. Okay, what else is happening on the planet?
