imminent threat to the U.S.

in terms of a major weapon system with a missile or a nuclear weapon.

There just isn't really evidence right now to substantiate that.

Yeah, I would say it's a bit mixed.

A lot of the Arab Gulf states near Iran didn't want to get involved.

They were very wary, and they were saying things like, the U.S.

shouldn't use our airspace.

We don't want to be part of this.

But then Iran targeted them and has fired missiles and drones at them.

So they've had to get involved, if only to protect themselves.

So that's one element that's changed very dramatically.

And when it comes to, say, Europe, we've seen countries like France, Germany and Britain, they put out a joint statement saying they might be willing to assist in some capacity against the Iranian regime.

They've been critical of Iran for the way it's acted.

They talked about proportionate action.

So they're kind of hedging a little bit, leaning toward the U.S., but not wanting to be full-fledged members of the operation so far.

The EU is sort of talking about what their position will be on this.

So we've seen sort of a mixed reaction.

And, of course, there have been some countries like Russia and China, which have come out and been very critical of the U.S.

operation.

Well, I think the political piece of this, how you end it politically, is always the key question.
