00:00I understand why you don't want to respond, but these are all massive risks that seem to be poorly weighed
00:08in the beginning of this misadventure.
00:12Currently, there are reports that we have hit the Bonjee desalination plant that provides water to about 20 villages or
00:19about 10,000 people,
00:21and we also damaged the desalination plant at Keshem Island.
00:24Were these deliberate targets by the United States?
00:28Sir, I'm not aware of those as being particular targets, nor am I aware of those reports, and I'll have
00:34to go back and get back to you on that.
00:36If you could, I'd appreciate that.
00:38You are aware that infrastructure that civilians rely on to survive is not generally considered legitimate military targets?
00:44Sir, as you know, we have a robust process which considers a target that goes through a system that looks
00:50at a variety of considerations
00:52to include what you're alluding to around both purely civilian or dual-use targets.
00:57I have trust and confidence in CENTCOM that they're looking at the range of those things on a daily basis.
01:03It sounds like you are.
