So, one of the results of this effort with Lebanon is that we are now hearing that Iran has suspended traffic through the straight of Hermuz in response to Israel's ongoing attacks.
And this is according to a semiofficial news agency affiliated with the revolutionary guards.
That's the one that's reporting this.
So, obviously, the Strait is the thing for President Trump.
How much pressure does this put on Netanyahu in your view?
Is this going to be sort of the dividing line between President Trump and Netanyahu?
It >> really is.
I think probably from what we've just seen in just the last couple of minutes, the Iranian decision to now reblock the Straight of Hormuz, if it had ever been unblocked, is a real effort to try to force that issue to say
Hezbollah and Iran are uh on the same page in this conflict and you cannot separate the two.
Israel's actions are saying very definitively we are trying to separate Hezbollah cleave it away from its patron state from Iran and so
now we're seeing that bleeding into the fight as you mentioned over the straight of Hormuz which is so important to
President Trump this could really drive a wedge or we might not see a wedge we might just see Netanyahu completely uh decide that he needs to stay in President Trump's good graces uh and stop the fight against Hezbollah or we could sleep with the president saying that he's going to continue.
We don't that he's going to continue.
We don't know what the president is going to do.
We don't know how he's going to react.
You know, we've seen this over and over again. He's impossible to predict.
and whether or not he decides to, as I mentioned, go along with this coupling or the decoupling, that's kind of going to determine uh how the fight over Israel's northern border continues.
