chance of flipping being the IRGC, so to speak.

So I think this administration has shown they're willing to do that.

The president does what he says he's going to do, and he's done that in Venezuela.

So the people in Iran are hearing that.

And I think for the regime, it's a do or die.

So how they leverage and build those building blocks and enhance that rheostat to crank up the heat is the solution here.

Look, we've seen them do those strikes in Israel, Qatar, and other places, and it's been very ineffective.

And so to me, if they go to that step, that would justify our ability to strike and take out not only their military, the IRGC, if anything, we want to.

But so that to me would represent their last straw, understanding that it's do or die for them.

And we've been very effective in countering those.

So I think our capabilities far exceed them.

And the fact that they have no air defenses, so anyone can fly over the country, we could strike at anything, just illustrates, again, how vulnerable that is.

So I think you always got credibility in their statement, but understanding there's really not

bang they had before under those threats.

And again, I think that would really be the final straw that would end all this.

But again, if you want long-lasting security and stability in Iran, it has to come from within.

So just like our adversaries for decades have been coming out at us asymmetrically because they know they didn't want

and would lose in direct military confrontation.

I still think that's the situation here.

And we're best supported by helping the Iranian people bring this to closure.
