Brad, what we saw was on Friday this incident where we saw this some kind of either ballistic missile or drone attack on a U.S.
base in Jordan.
That resulted in two deaths and a third service member who was missing.
And then we found out that over the weekend there was another fatality in northern Iraq.
where a US service member who was trying to disable a drone equipped with an explosive died in the process of trying to disable it.
So what we have now are the first American fatalities.
There were also many others that were injured in these incidents.
Some of them were able to go back to work.
But these are the first American casualties since really the start of the war back in March and April.
It's an escalation, and you're right.
Whenever there's a U.S.
fatality, it seems that the United States ramps up the pressure, and that's exactly what we saw.
In the wake of Friday night's incident, we saw that another round of airstrikes against Iran.
But it wasn't just the ones targeting the area around the Strait of Hormuz, which have become normal now over the past week.
Instead, we saw that there was retaliation, swift retaliation, the wording was, for what had happened in this attack in Jordan.
Whenever there are fatalities, the ante is raised up.
Well, Brad, what we saw ahead of the start of the war was that we knew there were U.S.
bases, large U.S.
bases in Kuwait, large U.S.
bases in Bahrain and in Qatar.
