Thanks for joining me today. I'll start off with a few things at the top and then I'll get to some
00:06
of your questions here at the end. But let's start off with Ukraine because I'm sure that a lot of
00:12
you all have a question a lot of questions about that. The Department of Defense continues to
00:17
provide the president with robust options regarding military aid to Ukraine consistent
00:23
with his goal of bringing this tragic war to an end. And at the same time, the department is
00:30
rigorously examining and adapting its approach towards achieving this objective while also
00:37
preserving U.S. military readiness and defense priorities that support the president's America
00:42
First agenda. This capability review, and that's exactly what it is, it's a capability review,
00:49
is being conducted to ensure U.S. military aid aligns with our defense priorities. And we will
00:57
not be providing any updates to specific quantities or types of munitions being provided to Ukraine or
01:03
the timelines associated with these transfers. But the secretary will continue to make recommendations
01:10
to the president for his decision on military assistance to Ukraine going forward. We see this
01:15
as a common sense, pragmatic step towards having a framework to evaluate what munitions are sent and
01:24
where. But we want to be very clear about this last point. Let it be known that our military has
01:32
everything that it needs to conduct any mission, anywhere, anytime, all around the world. We have the
01:40
most lethal fighting force in the world. If you need further proof of that, look no further than
01:45
Operation Midnight Hammer and the total obliteration of Iran's nuclear ambitions there. So switching to
01:52
Iran and based on the success of the U.S. and Israeli military strikes, Iran is much further away
02:00
today from a nuclear weapon than they were before the president took bold action to fulfill his promise
02:06
to the American people. And that promise was Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. And after the 12-day war
02:12
between Iran and Israel, we have a ceasefire and we finally have peace. And the Department of Defense will
02:19
support the diplomatic mission to continue that peace by ensuring that we maintain capability across
02:26
the Middle East so that the president and the secretary of defense have a range of military options
02:32
available to defend both our citizens, our troops, our forces in the region. And as such, we don't have any
02:39
force posture updates at this time in the CENTCOM AOR.
