00:00I the military, the U.S. military is good at putting together strategies, so I don't think they're going to
00:05go in and just fire off at whatever they want to based on in the moment.
00:10I think that they came in with a plan. They probably game this out for weeks in advance.
00:16They looked at a target deck and they tried to figure out where the biggest threats were to U.S.
00:21forces, but also to others in the region.
00:24And they're executing on that day by day. Obviously, they'll have to change as the situation changes.
00:31I think there will probably a lot more drone strikes and missile strikes against nearby Gulf states than they expected.
00:39And that's something they're going to have to adjust to on the fly.
00:42I think right now what we're seeing is the conflict has shifted from concerns about Israel's security to concerns about
00:51the Gulf state security and the U.S. embassies and U.S. forces in the immediate vicinity of Iran.
00:59That shift has been happening over the last couple of days.
01:01The biggest indicator of that shift was when the U.S. military decided to send the aircraft carrier, the USS
01:09Ford, that was off the coast of Israel to the Persian Gulf.
01:14And it's on the way now. It should be arriving soon.
01:17I think they need that reinforcement and the extra firepower that comes with it.
