I want to talk though about Lebanon and and to talk about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because strangely the US and Israel started this war with Iran together.

The US and Iran are engaging as we just talked about kind of these incremental strikes.

Um but not pushing forward into an all-out war.

Israel though is pushing further and further into Lebanon now.

They just took this historic Crusader Bufer Castle.

Could the war between Israel and Lebanon, which by the way is still in a ceasefire in spite of all the fighting that's still going on between them, could that be the ultimate nail in the coffin for a potential path to peace between Iran and the US?

>> I don't know. There's so many nails and there's so many coffins. Let's just talk about this one particular uh war.

And they're all interrelated because as as you mentioned, Iran broke off negotiations, negotiations which have kind of been stumbling along and they look like they were getting close to a deal, but it feels a bit like the the horizon or a mirage.

You know, the closer you get to it, the further it seems to recede into the distance.

Um the reason the Iranians broke it off is because the war in uh in Lebanon is intensifying.

What we've been seeing now over the last couple of days and even just over the course of today is Israel intensifying its uh its its strikes,

moving deeper into South Lebanon, uh moving uh more and more people out of the area.

Uh there have been mass eviction orders given uh to the people that living in South Lebanon telling them, "Get out of the way because we're going to bomb Hezbollah,

so for your own safety leave." But those orders applied about 17% of the country.

An enormous amount of the country. Prime Minister Netanyahu said he's also going to extend attacks to the Dahieh neighborhood, which is a Hezbollah stronghold uh in South Beirut.

And that's causing a tremendous amount of concern in Beirut itself. And just a few minutes ago uh Israeli media report that the Americans have asked the Israelis to hold off on those strikes in Dahiyeh at least for the moment.

But either way, you're seeing a war that has that had been escalating quite significantly.
