All right, here's... Best I can tell you is this.
We've hit pretty much everything we want to.
Nuke program has been set back significantly.
Missiles have been reduced.
Missile launchers have been reduced.
IRGC headquarters and leaders and everything else, right?
We've knocked the heck out of the regime.
What is, I think, the problem is the regime has obviously refused to surrender.
They won't capitulate.
But then I think what we have on top of that is a reluctance on the part of this administration, this Department of War, to, well, to use more munitions.
I mean, there's always stuff you can continue to bomb.
The question is whether it's worth bombing.
Because these munitions are expensive.
They're very precise.
We need them for other potential conflicts.
And so the idea of burning them right now doesn't make a lot of sense.
So I think what we're doing right now is trying to pivot into what would only be described as an economic war, right?
We're putting the blockade on their ships.
We're going to force them to cap their wells.
We're going to deprive them of additional cash through sanctions and maybe tariffs and cutting off their banks.
