There has been some back and forth over the last several days and also with the US Attacking Iranian drones yesterday this, this morning CENTCOM put out a statement that Iran had launched its ballistic missile towards Kuwait, calling it an egregious ceasefire violation. How can the administration still argue that a cease fire is in effect? Again, with the Iranian government, we did not have regime change, but we changed the regime. (20:18–20:23)
