00:00You have to think, what are the Iranians the most concerned about? And it's probably troops,
00:07you know, boots on the ground. Now, on the one hand, that's going to be the most expensive
00:10and difficult and deadly things that we could do. But on the other hand, it might actually change
00:18Iranian leadership calculus. I think continued strikes on infrastructure, especially civilian
00:22infrastructure, I mean, you're getting pretty close to war crimes here. And there is, I honestly
00:28don't see that as ratcheting up the pressure. You have to change the strategic calculus of Iranian
00:34leadership. And I think the only way to do that is with troops. That's why the U.S. has maintained,
00:39you know, Marines and special forces in the region to add that pressure. But it doesn't sound like
00:46the U.S. is getting any closer to doing that. And so, you know, an escalation by hitting bridges
00:51or power plants, I don't think that's going to move the needle for Iranian leadership at all.
00:58So, I know that the U.S. WI.S. was about, you know, an escalation by moving off, you know,
00:59you know, doing the next steps that you can bring tevek ride into your life in the Bahamas,
