It's difficult to tell.

But the Iranian response has also, in that sense...

been very widespread, very fast, but also not as robust as it was before.

We're not seeing the same number of missiles being hit at Israel, for instance, but we are seeing that they're targeting almost all of the bases, or at least almost all countries in the GCC.

Iraqi air bases operated by the U.S.

have been attacked.

We saw that there was an attack that appears to have gone towards the base in Kuwait, but the missile was deflected because of the

air defense system and landed at the airport in Kuwait.

And Kuwait is, of course, a very small country.

We've seen attacks.

Similar things seem to have happened in Dubai, in which the Palm neighborhood in Dubai was hit.

And we've seen attacks in Qatar.

We've seen attack in Bahrain.

In Bahrain, we saw some very strange images of Bahrainis cheering once they saw that the drone actually did hit.

the U.S.

base where the Fifth Fleet is.

And what that was, it was actually a drone.

It was not a missile.

It was one of the same rather slow-moving drones that the Iranians have been selling the Russians, that Russians have been using in Ukraine.

And it's just very surprising that that drone would have been able to get through all the air defense systems
