0:36
who've been, many of the pilots have been working from about two hours after the conflict started

that we stand with our long-standing allies and be here showing our support for them
0:52
reflecting on the work we're doing together, and for them a sense that we're a friend that's come at this time
0:57
to have these really important discussions with them and to make sure this ceasefire is a permanent ceasefire
1:03
and that the Strait of Hormuz is open. And that takes more than just words, it takes a lot of action
