Annie, but in this particular case, even from a Russian perspective, has this war in Iran increased the probability that a Putin would use a nuclear weapon?

I think this is one of the big questions that a lot of people are asking, which is how long can Iran...

fight for in this war?

And what does that fight look like?

Here in these jars, you have, I think it's the relative amount of soldiers that each country has.

Now, obviously, soldiers are just, goes back to what Obama said about horses and bayonets, they're one form of combat.

But I was quite surprised at how big Iran's military is relative to

even the US, but other countries in the region.

I think they have the biggest military in the region.

Is that correct?

What are those two things?

Iran have the largest stockpile in the Middle East of missiles, drones, and air defenses, possessing thousands of ballistic cruise missiles and kamikaze drones.

This is their primary offensive strength.

And they have quite a significant defense budget as well.

I guess the question I'm trying to get at is like, how long can they fight for?

And how does that fight look over time?

Because I know they shot hundreds and hundreds of ballistic missiles over the weekend.

Yeah.

Which are the aircrafts, right?

So Andrew, how do you think this plays out over the coming weeks and months?
