You know, the operation against the Houthis is massive, and it's growing, and it's very successful. We've taken out key leadership. We've degraded their capacity to attack in the international shipping lanes. There's certainly more work to do. But there's no doubt that we've degraded. And as you note, essentially the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, these are all proxies of Iran.

You know, they're going. I think the president has made and continues to make a really important good faith effort. The president would rather get to a place at a negotiation table rather than the alternatives, but he's holding every option and hoping that Iran sees that he is extremely serious about his commitment that they'll never have a nuclear weapon.
