Overview
- Kevin O’Leary argued on CNN’s NewsNight that the war in Iran will pay off by opening Middle Eastern markets to U.S. sellers.
- He said the Strait of Hormuz will reopen under regional policing and Iran will be isolated, describing those predictions as guarantees.
- Bakari Sellers pushed back on air and called the explanation “a bunch of nothing” and later “a bunch of BS.”
- Sellers pressed for near-term gains for people in states like South Carolina, Nebraska, and Ohio and warned the strait could close.
- O’Leary cited a 78‑day conflict timeline, pointed to growth in places like Dubai, and said higher oil and fertilizer prices are a short-term cost, in a segment later highlighted by Raw Story and Mediaite.
