Mr Kirby has provided you with some information on a strike that we conducted this evening.

To-infinitive

And there's not much more than I'll be able to add at this point, other than the fact that we're confident in the target that we went after.

Past simple

Uh, and, uh, and we're confident that that target was being used by the same Shia militia that conducted the strikes.

And so we're very deliberate about our approach, as you would expect this to be, we allowed to and encourage the Iraqis to investigate and develop intelligence, and that was very helpful to us and refining the target.

We said a number of times, Uh, we will respond at, you know, on our timeline.

And once again, we want to be sure the connectivity and want to be sure that we had the right targets when the president wants.
