00:00Pope Leo has made some strident comments about the war in Iran, and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
00:05recently put out a statement suggesting that the war does not fit the requirements of just war theory.
00:12And I wondered if the Pentagon had thought about this war against the terrorist regime in Iran in terms of
00:19the framework of a just war.
00:21Pope's going to do his thing. That's fine. We know what our mission is. We know what authority we have.
00:26We're very clear about that. We follow that.
00:28The orders of the president. We've got lawyers all over the place looking at what we're doing and why we're
00:33doing it and giving us every authority necessary under the Constitution and under our laws to execute it.
00:37So we feel very confident across the spectrum about what we're doing and why we're doing in the legal justification
00:43that we're following in order to do it.
