Greg, I want to bring you in and I want to go big picture for a moment.
You and I were just speaking on this podcast a day or two ago.
You were talking through, as you saw it, three ways that this could play out.
One was that the U.S.
and Iran would keep talking, that diplomacy might
actually achieve something and pull us back from the brink.
The second possibility you saw was some limited strikes.
And the third was we would see something big.
It feels like this is the third plus, the third on steroids.
This is big.
I mean, another question is what we are learning from those targets that were chosen and now hit.
And I'm going to put this one to you, Greg, but Daniel, jump in any time you want to add something to this.
I mean, the...
Attacks targeting Khamenei, the supreme leader, and Pozeshkin, the president of Iran.
That speaks to regime change, right?
I mean, we were wondering for weeks now, is regime change the goal?
We seem to have an answer.
Wow, that would really be something.
Greg?
And for ordinary Iranians, that means they were up and about and trying to get to and from school and work and going about their day, going about their life.
