I think once you have images of, and people who have lived through missile and drone strikes or falling debris from interceptors, which is what the authorities in the region are always quick to point out when there were videos of something burning in the sky, it was not a missile or a drone, it was an interceptor.

And in many cases, maybe it was, but in other times, You know, I think it was clearly they were trying to undersell what was happening.

And I think that it's very telling how how much of this information more Gulf authorities have tried to control.
