The very dangerous people from Iran, they're sick, there's something wrong with them. We said, go and do your funeral stuff. And instead of that, they start shooting rockets at chips yesterday. And so We hit them very hard last night. Very hard, I would say 20 to 1, 20 times tougher. I told them, every time you hit, we hit. And of course, they're dirty players, so they go after everyone, probably including me. I've been number one on their list for years. (00:22–00:30)
