The air campaign, the military campaign more broadly, does seem to be on track to attriting Iran's air forces, of course.

Hang on.

Certainly.

Well, the underlying point is that this is a traditional warfare, right?

This is like Muhammad Ali fighting Joe Frazier.

We're pounding on the Iranian.

And so, but we need to recognize, Iran, really, in this campaign, there's five, it's a five-front war.

The first front really is the missile front.

ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, the UAV drone campaign.

And here there does seem to be progress in a trading that is grinding down due to their own launches, as well as what Israel and the United States have been able to destroy.

Second is the air war.

And the air war seems to be very successful from our perspective.

The corridors have been cut into Iran.

The shoulders have been widened.

And there has been successful destruction of enemy air defenses.

So they do seem to be suppressed, although there's always the possibility, of course, that they're lying in wait and they ambush American bombers or American aircraft or allied aircrafts.

The third front really is the naval war, straight-up Hormuz, as well as more broadly.

And here we have some concern, of course, Steve, as you stressed in the last few days on War Room, that Iran is using a variety of measures to intimidate.

which is to coerce through the threat of attacks, actual attacks and the threat of more attacks to come, naval traffic, civilian traffic in the Gulf and in the Strait.

And then we have the ground front, fourthly.
