In other words, every several months when they see –
Untoward activity, weapons transfers, the rebuilding of something that they feel the Iranians or that some foreign state adversary or non-state adversary should not have, they go in and they bomb.
It's not a full-scale war.
It's not 12 days.
Sometimes it's an overnight operation, but they just do that, right?
Here, it's more complicated for the Israelis because Iran is much farther away than Lebanon, Syria, certainly Gaza.
But that doesn't mean that we're not going to help them with refueling or even base sharing rights or perhaps even joining in some operations like this, right?
So Iran, right now, it lacks air defense systems.
Its skies are completely vulnerable to our air superiority, if not air supremacy.
The question is,
does that become the status quo?
And do the Iranians just kind of continue to take it as we dole it out to them?
And I think the interesting thing here is, you know, in foreign policy, it's kind of easy to set a new normal, right?
George W. Bush took a decision, Iran must not get nuclear weapons.
And obviously, the policies changed over time.
We did Stuxnet, we did all kinds of covert operations, the Israelis blew up scientists.
They went in and, you know, eventually exfiltrated the nuclear archive.
Obama had the JCPOA.
Donald Trump had the 12 day war.
But there was a concerted bipartisan multi-year decade, actually, effort to prevent Iran from doing something.
