Other than to what Brandon provided, that it seemed to be about 50 kilometers inside or that is north of the Persian Gulf.

So it looks like southwestern Iran in terms of the location.

And

I hadn't seen, Brendan mentioned a 60 down and I hadn't seen that, but obviously that's, we obviously pray for the cruise of both the 60 if it went down and then of course of the F-15E.

My thoughts are two, Steve.

First, we want to remember that Saddam Hussein attacked Iran in 1980 because he thought the Iranians were going to be a pushover.

He thought that revolutionary Iran was weak and that he could just slice off a province of Iran, the southwestern province of Iran.

and Occupy it and the Iranian regime would yield to that so he was thinking he had a limited aim strategy was going to fight a limited war and That turned in immediately almost immediately to total war that lasted eight years So we always want to bear in mind of course the the Persians that Iran is not going to be a pushover that they're the regime and

the Iranian people, the Persian people, are formidable, of course, and we're seeing that as we're looking at the videos that you're showing today.

Second point to keep in mind, so Saddam Hussein thought he was going to get a quick and easy victory, and it turned out that he got a hellish conflict that rivaled World War I, as we referenced earlier.

Secondly, with respect to the target set, so President Trump said, of course, in his address that he was thinking, considering expanding the target set from the military targets and the objectives that Secretary Rubio laid out and that President Trump laid out to infrastructure, to the oil, to water.

and other aspects of civilian infrastructure.

And you did see with that bridge hit, obviously, a taste.

I see what President Trump is doing is conveying to the Iranians, of course, that we can escalate, we can broaden the target set.

And that was an indication that we could do so.

If they don't yield, more is to come, right?

So that there would be additional attacks

Leaving aside what Israel would do, but from the U.S.

perspective, there would be additional attacks against the civilian infrastructure.

What's being communicated, of course, is that we can escalate and that we could go after additional targets, an economic target set.
