Thank you, Secretary Hexseth. Last 24 hours or so, Iran's fired at us, we fired at Iran. I'm just going to ask you more directly. Is the ceasefire over? No, the ceasefire is not over. Ultimately, this is a separate and distinct project and we expected there would be some churn at the beginning, which happened. And we said we would defend and defend aggressively, and we absolutely have. (1:05:29–1:05:32)
