We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans and our children will never be threatened by a nuclear-armed Iran.

We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way, and we trust that, with his help, the men and women of the Armed Forces will prevail.

Rekha, first I'll say I can smell that protest from here based on some individuals I'm seeing.

Perhaps the timing in early morning or daylight hours as the mullah and his 40 or so of his closest and most senior leaders were gathering.

That's the most surprising.

We'll see how much of a strategic impact it is making.

But that one and then followed closely by the just completely...

Yeah, that's one way of reading it, but I think it's more chaotic and more of a fear of use it or lose it kind of syndrome because as these attacks were coming in and surprising the IRGC, which pretty much had the finger on the trigger, I think they thought, we're next, so let's shoot it before we lose it.

Because again, hitting these civilian targets is just going to galvanize, and it already is,

the countries in the Gulf to ally with the United States and Israel and enter into combat, which appears that we're on the track too because of this very misguided approach by the Iranians.

But not as surprising when you start to realize how fractured their leadership's become.

again, I kind of go back to the lack of targeting discipline is really what's equating to this very ineffectual missile barrages.

They're not launching the large massed attacks that they did last summer because their command and control has been decapitated.

And in that confusion,

They're making attacks as they see an opportunity rather than coordinating with drones and large mass missile strikes against, say, Israel or one target, but it's scattered across.

So I think this is the real reason behind the ineffectiveness.

That could change.

Hopefully it doesn't.

But this is going to last with this level of intensity, at least for the next few days, as the targets and the threats are actually taken out.

And hopefully in the interim, the Iranian people stand up.
