Of course, it's extremely serious.
But for Iran, it's a big victory.
They've been shooting at U.S.
planes for five weeks, and they haven't been able to bring anything down.
And they're claiming it as a victory.
It's a very small victory, but it is something.
And it's just a reminder that Iran is still a very aggressive and capable enemy in this fight.
That's a good question.
From day one of this fight, Iran has fought back.
Their ability to do so with missiles and drones and other types of equipment, fast boats, that has diminished.
Drone strikes are down 90 percent.
Missile strikes are down 90 percent.
But they're still shooting at stuff.
They're still able to fight back.
And so this is just a reminder.
It's just sort of a wake-up call that Iran is not going down quietly.
I'm really curious to see if the U.S.
will be even more resolved after this incident and if they will ramp up the combat flights in any way or strike more targets or do something that sends a big signal.
I'll also be curious to see what Iran is capable of doing in the coming days.
They've been getting help from adversaries.
