If they change their mind, we're fine with that too.

So I don't think anyone can give you a simple answer as to what happens next in Iran if the supreme leader and the regime were to fall, other than the hope that there would be some ability to have somebody within their systems that you could work towards a similar transition.

In essence, if we have indications that, in fact, they're going to attack our troops in the region, to defend our personnel in the region.
