There hasn't been an articulation for the urgency now.

Well, that's a great question.

So far, we haven't heard allied support.

We've heard from Gulf partners in the region that they don't want U.S.

military jets taking off.

from bases in their countries because they're worried about potential retaliatory strikes by the Iranians.

We haven't seen an effort by the United States to build a coalition of nations that could help.

Now, could some be doing intelligence sharing?

Potentially.

That might be one way.

But in terms of military assets, this is not like the U.S.

campaign against Yemen, where you saw a few allied partners support those strikes.

So far, this is a U.S.-only operation in terms of military assets in the region.

So there aren't many.

The one practical one that comes to mind for me is if we start to see U.S.

troops being evacuated or non-essential being moved out of military bases, that's the most tangible signal that I can think of of potential imminent strikes.

That would happen maybe hours before a strike would start.

But that's the one tangible that comes to mind that I don't have to depend on public statements, that I can watch that and know that that's a real possibility that we're going to see strikes soon.
