And negotiating with the IRGC is akin to negotiating with fire ants.

As long as there's one left, he's going to bite you.

As long as there's...

one left alive, they all are gonna buy in.

There's always gonna be more than you thought there were of them.

So that's sort of the situation we have diplomatically, which has put us back into bombing them just relentlessly to try and continue to diminish their military capabilities.

They can't control the straits, but as we talked about last time, they can disrupt them.

And they've been doing that targeting illegally commercial vessels and our allies and even some small bases.

So we're responding to that with devastation, but they don't seem to care.

So that's sort of where we are, as you mentioned.

We bombed them, we gave them a ceasefire on April 7th, and they negotiated for

90 days and then immediately broke the MOU that we signed with them and IRGC will be completely reliable in breaking every deal we negotiate so

I think you're right.

That is what we're going to end up having to do.

And the targets that we service so far, over 140 targets have been those things that we think will help achieve that in the command centers, the missile and drone storage and launch sites, air defense systems, coastal surveillance and maritime capabilities and communication networks.

And the one thing

that they have done that we sort of expected, but maybe underestimates their ability to rebuild and to reconstitute some of these capabilities.

Now, on the good news side of the ledger, though, we are getting help from some of our allies in the region

What Saudi Arabia is doing with Yemen is helping us too in trying to keep the Houthis at bay and trying to keep that ring of fire or that network of terrorists that support the IRGC around the region, help keep them in check somewhat.

So it's not all for naught, but they're not going to take the easy way of agreeing to a deal and becoming a productive member of society.
