Over the past week, let's just say, more than 170 military targets in Iran have been hit,

I guess really over the matter of just two days.

When you see the target list from these U.S. strikes this week, what does that indicate to you

about the intent, the message that the United States is trying to send?

Hey, Kate, always good to be back with you, and that gets right to the point, right?

The volatility in the markets you just discussed, they're tied to this conflict in the

Middle East.

And these strikes that the U.S. did over the past two days, they said very directly,

and CENTCOM also said, the CENTCOM commanded the same thing, that these strikes were struck in a direct response to Iran attacking

oil tankers that were moving through the Straits of Hormuz.

And the second thing that's been made real clear by the target list you just described,

you know, these are air defense

sites, coastal surveillance sites, storage areas for missiles and drones, small boats that are used to

harass ships in the straits. These targets were made to specifically go after Iran's

capability to hold that straits of Hormuz's hostage. What's interesting is what was an attack. They didn't go after Iran's capability to hold that straits of Hormuz hostage.

What's interesting is what wasn't attacked. They didn't go after leadership. As you know,

Khomeini's funeral has been this week. They haven't gone after leadership. They haven't gone after

a, you know, more wider infrastructure in Iran. So the U.S. was basically saying, no, you don't

control the straits. Iran. These straits are still

open, sure, and they're not going to go through the route that you want them to go through,

that continue to go through the route that's close to Omani's waters that was just described.

Tiled, MAGA's birthright meltdown is in full effect.
