officials would often say and warn about is that the sheer number of missiles that Iran has stockpiled and ready to go, and the real only limiting factor for Iran is launchers.
So, you know, the United States is going to take very seriously any defensive precautions before it goes ahead with any offensive action against Iran.
And I think that's what you're seeing with all this buildup by the U.S.
military in the region right now.

Right.
And so and so it was it was one of those situations where the president, as is traditional, retains the ability to kind of decide, you know, at the very last moment whether to really go forward or not, because you want to have all the information available to you.
You don't want to pre decide a military operation and then maybe some other opportunity to resolve it appears.
