Now, on the other side, we have confirmation of scores of Iranian leaders taken out already.

Right.

Now leading up to this operation, many experts were sounding the alarm over the potential response from Iran, including sleeper cells here in the U.S.

We've now had this horrific mass shooting in Austin.

The FBI quickly announced they were looking into it as a potential act of terror.

What do we know so far about that incident?

Now, before we let you go, I wanted to ask you about the response we've seen so far from Iranians and Iranian Americans to this operation.

What have we seen here and abroad?

Really a remarkable sight there, Tim.

Thanks so much for reporting.

Thanks for having me on.

The world is already beginning to feel the geopolitical impact of the U.S.

operation in Iran.

Joining us now to discuss is Lester Munson, head of the international practice at BGR Group and former staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Thank you so much for joining us.

My pleasure.

What might this process actually look like?
