00:00We've heard from the US president saying, quote, many long sought after targets have been taken out and destroyed by
00:07our great military, he says.
00:10Are we seeing those US strikes having any obvious and immediate effect?
00:15Well, I think there's obviously a plan and the strategy, I think, in military terms is working really well.
00:22I think the political outcomes that are being established are still quite vague.
00:27But in military terms, I think almost, I would say, five sixths of Iran's missile capability has been destroyed and
00:35won't be available for obviously attacking its neighbors or anybody else.
00:40The drone capability remains. And of course, Iran is being resupplied by Russia with more advanced drones.
00:48That remains a threat. But I think in terms of suppressing Iran's military capability,
00:55the military campaign has done incredibly well so far.
00:59As you're seeing, they've taken out also some of the heads of the IRGC.
01:05And I think what they're trying to do is say to the armed forces in Iran right now, look, you
01:10can either be part of the solution or, frankly, we'll continue attacking you.
01:15It's significant that the heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force are still alive and that the targets seem
01:21to be predominantly right now IRGC commanders and the political establishment.
01:26That suggests to me that what the Americans and the Israelis are trying to do is suggest to the armed
01:32forces that they need to turn at some stage.
01:35Thank you very much.
