is leaving.
Because it's moving more and more of its assets to Jordan and other places that are a little bit further away from Iran.
Because having them in Bahrain and in Kuwait is just too close to the Iranians and too easy of targets.
So the very idea that these bases provided security for these states have just become a laughable proposition at this time.
But we're also seeing that the Iranians can very effectively hit Jordan as well.
And they can hit them with bases that are actually very well fortified.
So, again, what is the point of all of this?
If you didn't have a plan that would fundamentally change things in a very short period of time, then you're just restarting a debacle.
And now this time around, you do have the benefit of hindsight.
Because you were here just a couple of months ago, and then you chose to go back to it.
At least the first time you could say, well, they didn't think this is going to end up happening the way it did.
What did they think this time?
Yeah, and that followed by the way that the U.S.
side bombed barracks inside of Iran and killed a lot of soldiers that were asleep at the time.
So we're seeing a tit-for-tat.
So far, I've not seen the Iranians do anything that is going beyond responding to what the U.S.
has done.
So, for instance, we're not seeing what they said earlier on.
Earlier on, prior to the collapse of the MOU, at one point, the Iranians said that if there's any more attacks by the U.S., Iran is going to respond with a level of 1.5.
In many ways, they responded with a level of 5.0, actually.
