Yes, Anderson, I would agree with Brad that Iran is extremely weakened right now.

In fact, I think that it demonstrates that we did not need to execute Operation Midnight Hammer.

The Israelis have this well in hand.

There's no reason why we needed to cross that threshold.

And my concern is that, although maybe the immediate crisis may have ebbed, long-term,

I mean, Iran's in this for the long game. You've got 91 million Iranians, and, you know,

there's no fanatic like a religious fanatic. There's lots of people that are willing to die

for their religion. And I think that there's lots of people that are willing to die for their religion.

And I think that there's lots that they could potentially do to us in the United States.

Might not be this week, might not be next month. But this could very well come back to haunt us.

And again, I think that this proves that Operation Midnight Hammer was not needed,

that the Israelis could definitely have taken down the nuclear capability of Iranians by themselves,

and we did not need to get involved and cross this threshold.

If those folks had any sense at all, they would do exactly what Donald Trump is saying right now,

save their regime, save their lives, and save an entire

region from falling into ruin by their hands that would be their bloodstain for all of history.

And, you know, if they don't do that, the big question, Steve, is can this happen more akin

to the Soleimani takeout? Now, we supported the Solomani

strike because it was President Trump very clearly resetting deterrence, making clear his desire

was not some extended conflict, but resetting deterrence on his terms, and the cascade of horribles didn't happen.

So could that happen with a very limited U.S. engagement?

I think that's something that's on the president's mind right now.
