This is not a Gorbachev of Iran type figure.

So, yeah, I mean, what can I say?

Yeah.

Look, if we kind of zoom out from the 24-7 news cycle, what's going to happen tomorrow or even next week, I think this is the kind of broad strokes of it.

We're in for a penny and for a pound.

By doing what we've just done, we have wounded this –

regime.

And this regime is not going to forget.

And they're not going to just take it lying down.

They are going to retaliate, maybe not immediately, but down the line.

They will have resources and assets with which to do so.

I mean, remember, Iran's ability to project power from the AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires in South America, which that's our neck of the woods, right?

That's our sphere of influence, Western Hem, to the Burgas bombing in Bulgaria, where they blew up a busload of Israeli holidaymakers and

in 2000 something or other.

They can do these kinds of operations.

In fact, one of the things I've been very worried about and counterterrorism officials have been worried about is they have sleeper cells here.

They have agents in continental United States.

And the question is, do they lack the capability to do something or have they simply refrained from doing something

provocative or spectacular against us?

I use spectacular by the way in the kind of anodyne era's sense of a big atrocity designed to get attention.
