… spokesperson said, quote, iran wants to prolong the conflict in Lebanon so it can claim credit for saving the day. I have to admit that didn't strike me as accurate. I don't think Iran wants to keep the conflict going in Lebanon. I think they desperately want Israel to stop killing Hezbollah. Do you agree with that? Yeah, I think the. The point I was trying to make is that we are trying to view the Lebanon Israeli talks as separate and distinct from Iran. (04:58–05:06)
