00:00Also noting that, I mean, quite significant damage has been inflicted on Israel in the last 48 hours in particular.
00:07And I wonder whether you think perhaps Israel and the United States underestimated Iran's military capability.
00:15I think in some ways, I mean, their capability was known.
00:19But I think just the sheer number of Shahid drones probably was not known.
00:24And for whatever reason, the closing of the Strait of Hormuz seems to have been a surprise when, in fact,
00:32we know that's been a part of Iran's strategy if there is a war for decades.
00:40I think also the range of the ballistic missile that was missiles that were fired at Diego Garcia, 4,000
00:47kilometers, was also a surprise to both the U.S. and Israel.
