But there's a lot of unpredictables here.

And we spoke last summer, Steve, at the Army 250 celebration, and we talked about during the June strikes, you know, about a wider war with the Gulf states and other and the regional, you know, geostrategic elements going on here.

So there are unpredictable elements here as nothing's really fermenting on the ground.

The MEK is attacking

the Iranian guard and other things a little bit.

But there's nothing gelling with Pahlavi or anything.

So, you know, where does it leave the people?

Where does it leave our troops for the long term?

How many additional casualties will we have?

I think it's a legitimate concern.

Well, I think it is that.

And it's also, I think UAE agreed to jump in the fight to protect the ships in the Strait.

I think other nations will come on board.

I think Saudi Arabia will as well.

But, you know, Europe is always there when they need us.

So, you know, I think there will be some success for Donald Trump in putting together a coalition to target this.

But how many weeks out?

Well, the oil hit $150 plus.

There's a lot of questions here.

But I don't think they're operating in the dark.
