The most important thing for me is the flattening of the curve in terms of the rate of missile

launches by Iran.

Frankly, I'm also scared of finding out just how many tomahawks or jasm and other long-range

strike weapons that we've expended.

How do we get at least some greater degree of interoperability

between among countries that, and this is not unique to them, at least, between and among countries
