The conduct of the war.
In the conduct of the war, Pete told us the war was contracting.
Well, the battle around Tehran is contracting, but that's not the war.
The war is expanding.
The center of gravity β look, the Iranians have the initiative, have the β not maybe the conventional military initiative because they're getting crushed.
They're getting defanged and declawed every day.
And if you look at the sorted list that they're still to go, I think it's 6,000.
They're going to get worse.
But this is an asymmetric war now.
And they've got the initiatives.
And they pulled last night, I think, one of their, they've got a couple of aces in the hole, and that's the Houthis.
The Houthis lit up, launched on Israel.
Now, I believe the missile was stopped.
But once they get into the conflict, then you've expanded to the entire Arabian Peninsula.
And we're fighting at the gates, with the gate of tears down at the Red Sea, like we were last summer.
So in the conduct of the war, how important, to me, it's central.
This is an Arab fight.
It's Arab versus Persians.
And I realize you're saying, hey, you make it nationalistic, Arab versus Persian.
They're going to be fighting 100 years from now.
