You're seeing a lot of strikes on Iran itself, primarily military targets.
You're looking at taking out IRGC commanders as well as some key bases along the Strait of Hormuz itself.
And so that's designed to degrade their ability to shut down the Strait of Hormuz as well as command and control their forces.
I will say this claim by Iran that they've destroyed some F-35s is just patently absurd.
Yeah, it's successful.
I mean, we've taken down a lot of their commanders over the past six months, and this is basically the latest cadre.
It's a relatively short-term job these guys have, given the tempo at which we take them out, they get promoted, and we smoke them again.
So we've been highly successful on this type of campaign.
So CSIS, another think tank across town, put out some really great analysis in the last 24 hours in which they indicate we've expended roughly two-thirds of our Patriot missile interceptors.
So, I mean, and those interceptors are great.
They do a terrific job, but that's really a high-demand, low-density asset.
And so we're getting pretty darn low on missile interceptors as well as some key long-range fires such as JASMs and so forth.
We continue to degrade Iranian military capabilities, and one may be forgiven to say, well, how come we haven't done that already?
People should remember that Iran is the size of Western Europe.
It's largely mountainous, and it has a population of around 90 million people.
And so there's simply so many targets that the Iranians have, and so many of them are underground.
That's why it feels like, you know, we're on a merry-go-round that we can't get off, is because
There's simply so many of these capabilities that need to be serviced and destroyed.
Yeah, it will.
I mean, what that's going to do is enable private industry to expand production lines so we can build these things at scale.
