Then actually, no, half of it still functional, and now three quarters of it is functional.

I, I, I gotta go to, because the, all the reporting that I've kind of seen, a- at least since the end of the...

Because the, the, the Wa- the WaPo article is not the only one that has mentioned those numbers Right? The, we've had seen similar numbers from other American media indicating, uh, 70 to 75% of the Iranian ballistic missile and their launchers are still available.

And then the other aspect, I think the drone program was, I think, like 50% was still available for the Iranians, right? So a significant portion.

So, but okay, but going back to the, the drop and all that, right? And the, and, um, when the United States did the strikes, obviously what they were prioritizing was the Iranians use underground facilities heavily for their ballistic missile program.

Heavily for logistics, storage, command and control, you name it.

It's, uh, heavily utilized.

... are pretty important

and

I think there then this could be with something which you said yesterday where the United States is willing to say okay well let Iran do this and it's interesting how they framed it for example a general claim said quote they're flailing Let's see if we can allow Iran to do this, because at the end of the day, we want to have the initiative over the Strait of Hormuz, and we don't want to see the conflict expand because there's a perfect opportunity of completely removing Iran's chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz.

destroying their kind of blockade and closing the Strait of Hormuz while the United States can continue to maintain its own blockade against Iran.

And the U.S. could say that's our way of putting pain and pressure on the Iranians because now the global economy is good.

Ships are going through.

Iran can't do any commerce.

If Iran wants to launch ballistic missiles and drones against UAE, but we're able to continue to do everything, maybe that's something we're willing to accept.

So maybe a lot of the decision-making has been decentralized for the rest of the IRGC, the mosaic structure as well.

What was going on there?

So let me explain this from my perspective, like how that day went for me, right? You know, we got an interesting report.

I remember waking up and it was Sunday morning and I saw the first videos from a Jalisco, I think it was a WhatsApp group that said, hey, there's an operation in Jalisco, right? It's like, oh, okay, Mexican operation.

They're targeting a cartel.

They're like, oh, like, again, I think most people don't, that's normal.

And then we saw subsequently afterwards reports of what we would call these narco blockades, right? The burning of the vehicles and all that.

But it was very, it was kind of like in a specific area, very kind of close to Jalisco.

America is a really violent antisocial place, but you don't necessarily have that same fringe of people doing the kind of thing they're doing.
