subordinates who are dealing with the tactical on a day to day basis. So imagine you're sitting in the Supreme National Security Council meeting in Tehran. You have the president, the supreme leader, the IRGC, the regular armed forces, everybody, you know, in that top political and military leadership is there. What are they discussing? Are they discussing a plan to attack Israel? That would be bad tradecraft if they did that because they have to assume that they're being listened into, or at least parts of it. So at that level, they say, yes, we need to support Hamas. How much money do you need? We will authorize it and, you know, off you go. And then it's the Quds Force commander, Qani's job to make it happen. Now, then who's planning this? Who's training? Who's providing that tradecraft? Where is it taking place? So are we listening to the right people when we say that, hey, they were expressed surprise? So I think there's nuance and granularity here that is really, really missed in (42/99)
