00:00So, Tom, a lot has been achieved based on what you just said the Secretary Rubio laid out as objectives.
00:07They're clearly military objectives, and the U.S. military and the Israeli IDF has gone a long way toward meeting
00:14that.
00:15They've significantly depleted the ballistic missile launchers, the storage facilities, over 14 subterranean storage facilities hit.
00:23And now they're really going toward the manufacturing capabilities of Iran to make new ballistic missiles.
00:30And, of course, the suicide one-way drones, the Shahids, both to the storage facilities, launch sites, and their ability
00:38to make them.
00:39So I think that has largely been met.
00:43More to go.
00:44And also, of course, the last I've seen is about 70 vessels have been sunk.
00:49That's unbelievable, to be frank, that that many have been taken out.
00:54That has a lot to do with their ability to close key waterways like the Straits of Hormuz.
00:59So a lot of, I think, advancements there.
01:03The last, when it comes to strategic assets, is the nuclear facilities.
01:07We struck them, of course, before, so they've already been seriously degraded.
01:11They're a fixed target.
01:12So I think we're going to come back around and drop even more, quite frankly, large, massive ordnance penetrators to
01:20make even more damage and more degradation of their capabilities.
01:24The one part that doesn't seem to be headed in the right direction, and the U.S. might just take
01:29it off the list, is regime change.
01:31The U.S. might just take it off the list, is regime change.
