00:00I think the Houthis launched a substantial attack on Saudi Arabia.
00:03What are your thoughts on that with the U.S. and the spectrum of Houthis to kind of stay out
00:07of display?
00:07Yeah, look, again, the Houthis in many ways are agents and proxies of the Iranians.
00:12I think behind some of this is clearly the Iranian hand.
00:15The U.S. has a very strong defensive military relationship with Saudi Arabia.
00:20And we're watching those events very closely.
00:24It's been going on for some time.
00:26I think there's been some ground operations as well where many forces are taking on the Houthis
00:31and pushing back against some of the ground advances that they attempted to make.
00:34And we're monitoring that, as I said, very, very closely.
00:38But I would defer, as far as on the defense side, the Department of War,
00:42I don't think there'll be any announcements on that today.
