So over the last week, the US military has launched airstrikes against the Houthis. They're targeting... So the Biden administration did this, but in a limited capacity. It was primarily fighting a defensive war against the Houthis, used up a lot of air defense. But what they were doing was targeting... which you have to target things, military hardware.

They were targeting missiles on launch pads, weapons storage sites, but it was infrequent and it wasn't done with an intensity that could actually set back the Houthis. They refused to go after military leaders and political leaders of the Houthis. The Trump administration, I'm seeing they're not as concerned with going after the people aspect. And if you wanna go after the Houthis,

Look, hardware can be replaced, and the Iranians are very willing to replace that hardware. They've done this over time, and they've been effective at replacing that hardware. But so now the Trump administration does seem to be going after military commanders. I haven't seen indication that they've targeted political leadership at this time. That, to me, will be the determining factor. The U.S.

military, the U.S. government has to decide that it needs to launch a full-scale campaign against the Houthis in order to get them to stop. And I think these strikes aren't just aimed at the Houthis themselves. The reality is the Houthis haven't launched attacks against U.S. warships for several months.

But I also think this is a message directly to the Iranians that this administration isn't going to tolerate the actions by their proxies, particularly as egregious as the Houthis have been. And to get to your point about policy between administrations, this is something that really needs to change. If this haphazard lack of...

You know, a coherent policy that spans administrations, that's something over the last 20 years that is really, you know, a lack of continuity of foreign policy and how we deal with threats like the Iranians, like the Houthis. It really weakens us. It emboldens the Iranians to get the Houthis. They do this because they perceive us as weak.

All of Iran's proxies have a degree of autonomy. The Iranians are never going to ask the Houthis to do something that would threaten the Houthis' interests, that would threaten the viability of the Houthis. The same goes with Hezbollah, that goes with Hamas or any of these terrorist organizations, the Iraqi militias, the Syrian militias.
