Yeah.
And so I still think that whether it's allies in the front, joint operations together with us, or by sea and by air and by stealth, America going back to the basics of the earlier part of this campaign, I still think some met some military measures.
are necessary to further degrade the Republican Guard and the secret police inside Iran.
Well, I think it's good that we have third parties involved to try to use their offices to bring ideas to the fore and maybe create some communication channels that would not necessarily be easy.
At the same time, though, we have to be careful of our intermediaries dragging us into what their preferred outcomes might be, which are not necessarily American or our other allies' interests.
We have allies with real skin in the game and real capabilities.
I would say Israel and the United States.

The Saudis could weigh in in other ways, but those that are convening the conversation, whether it's Oman uh or Pakistan, they are not durable, reliable s sort of shapers of this broader region.

To panic, making it impossible to conduct normal commerce and trying to use that as uh behavior shaping against more powerful countries.
And that has been sadly successful in recent months, and that has to stop.
And so I whether it's military operations or better economic pressure, I think we have to change this cycle of on again-off again negotiations and on again-off again uh attacks.
Well, the Houthis are for sure an Iran appendage.
It's one that's been relatively quiet.
in part because we conducted a major military operation against them, but so have the Saudis and the Emiratis and others over time.
And so this is one of those shoes that we have somewhat been waiting to drop.
