So there hasn't been a confirmed mine.
Yet the whole world shut down and refused to go through.
And it was really based upon, you know, in the tanker wars, ships continue to go through, even though ships struck mines in the 80s.
But now there's zero risk from the international shipping community.
And I think President Trump has just said, that's it.
Yes, that's exactly right.
It's taken just over 40 days to be able to essentially roll back the Iranian ability to have this coordinated ability to strike our naval forces off the coast of Iran.
And in order to do that, they had integration of national overhead systems, intelligence from satellites that's being fed to them from China and Russia.
They have their own airborne surveillance platforms.
They have their own ground-based surveillance platforms.
They have their own command and control nodes that integrate the data, the targeting data that then is fed into their
ballistic missiles.
And we had to roll all of that back systematically and to destroy it.
And the results of that had been that they have not been able to hit any of our ships.
And our ships are much closer to the coast now than they were, and they have been unsuccessful.
And I think it's important for people to remember because there's been a lot of, before this war, there's been a lot of talk, especially with regard to China, that, you know, the US Navy's carrier fleet would be sunk in the first 15 minutes of any war.
And what people really don't understand how hard it is to hit a ship at sea, a moving target with ballistic missiles and with actually hypersonic or supersonic cruise missiles.
It's no easy feat.
It takes a lot of geometry and a lot of accuracy.
And then to get inside the bubbles of our carrier strike groups that have, you know, Aegis awareness, national overhead system awareness has, you know, systems that are designed to shoot down missiles before their missile even gets in,
