Again, I have no insight as to if this was the way or if there was a different way

that some of this information got out there about the administration seeing the Israelis getting ready for a strike basically deal or no deal but to me also having read that story the first time I pushed away from the table on it and said even though I'm reading this for the first time this is really an evergreen story because I think the Israelis mean what they say when they say they won't let the Islamic Republic of Iran get a nuclear weapon

They're a country that does have a very advanced air force. You saw that specifically against the Iranian threat, both in April and in October of last year, when they retaliated against Iran's missile barrages.

And you've seen in history over the past 40, 50 years, where there have been a whole host of operations involving the Israeli air force, not just in counter-proliferation ways, but other ways where they've really confounded expectations that do exist in the open source about what they can and cannot do.

And so, layering all of this on together, I think, yeah, this is a snapshot, but a snapshot of a story we've seen over time, which is there are always folks in various administrations, left and right, that always tend to leak to press sources. There's always people within the civil service bureaucracy who benefit from those leaks.

But as to this specific topic, yeah, the Israelis have always been training and probably will always continue to train so long as there is Islamic Republic of Iran that is interested in getting a nuclear weapon.

Well, I think if you're going off of 2024, which was a historic year for the Israeli-Iran rivalry, both in terms of what the regime launched, as well as how and where and using what ordinances the Israelis responded, I think A, that thing I said before about the Israelis being able to pound expectations and having certain assets in reserve holds true.
