00:00All right. So last one. You keep – or you're saying that a wider war is not inevitable
00:07and you don't think it should be inevitable. But do you think that an Iranian response
00:15or an Iranian attack on Israel is inevitable, whether or not that leads to a broader war?
00:21So I can't speak to what may or may not happen. That is a decision for Iran to make.
00:26We have been sending consistent messages through our diplomatic engagements, encouraging people
00:31to communicate to the Government of Iran that escalation is not in their interest and that
00:37we will defend Israel from attacks, and that escalation does not serve Iran's interest
00:42as it doesn't serve the interest of anyone in the region. So I don't want to say it's
00:46inevitable. Certainly the risk is there, and that's why we are pursuing these diplomatic
00:49engagements.
00:50And from your perspective, is any kind of Iranian response an escalation?
00:55I don't want to prejudge from here what our view of a response might be, other than
01:01to say we don't want to see Iran take further action. And that's the message we are consistently
01:08delivering to our partners in the region.
