So one of the unknowns right now is about Mustafa Khamenei.
Now, he's the new supreme leader that was announced this week, but we've heard no public statements from him since his selection this week.
And there are reports trickling out of Iran.
He may have been wounded in the attack that killed his father, the former supreme leader and members of his immediate family.
But there's no way to independently confirm that.
Now, also, we're struggling to get a clear picture of what's happening at bases where U.S.
troops are in the Gulf.
The White House was asked and confirmed that around 150 U.S.
soldiers have been wounded since the start of the war, in addition to seven killed.
But it is increasingly difficult to report on these developments.
There are censorship laws in Israel and restrictions on social media posts in the Gulf related to the war.
But also satellite imagery is becoming restricted.
Planet Labs, which is a commercial satellite imagery company used by many, announced a 14-day delay to the release of imagery over the region, including Iran, but also those bases where U.S.
troops have been hit.
Thanks, Steve.
It's a very surreal moment because I'm standing in a five-star luxury hotel ballroom where the government has brought select press to come and to attend a press conference where they have been giving us some more information about
their position, their policies, domestic and international, right now in the midst of this war.
But also, they've brought fragments in front of me, right before me.
I can see them, charred, burnt fragments of some of the more than 185 missiles and hundreds of drones that they have intercepted since the start of this war, fired from Iran at the UAE.
And they say nearly all of this has been intercepted.
