to restrain itself that you've even had a hard line Iranian commentator on on a pro regime campaign.
media podcast recently, say that we have to make sure that Trump loses one of the houses.
I mean, this is exactly where we are, where the Islamic Republic is basically banking on U.S.
domestic politics to restrain U.S.
foreign policy at this level and so publicly.
Well, I'm yet to see at least the administration publicly articulate the strategy and the direction that they want to go in with this.
You know, we have broad, big picture understanding of the things that the Trump administration wants to deal with in terms of threats, whether that's missile, whether that's nuclear, whether that's straightforward moves.
But the tactics, how to get there, you know, those are very much up in the air.
And that's actually where the administration is weak and it excels at the exact same time because both its allies and its adversaries, domestic and abroad, are left wondering, hedging, you know, even fearful of what may come next.
And some of that is wielded strategically by the administration and some of that
can be a little bit of a political mess.
I'll give you one example.
In the MOU, it actually links Lebanon, a ceasefire in Lebanon to the agreement over the Strait of Hormuz between the U.S.
and Iran.
And unfortunately there, that seems to be tying our partner's hand in the region, the Israelis.
But on the flip side, you have this new agreement that the U.S.
on the side separately carved out away from Iran, away from Hezbollah, between the central government,
in Lebanon, in Beirut, and the Israeli government in Jerusalem.
So in essence, even some of the weak points of the MOU, if the U.S.
steps up its game in the region, it can begin to kind of hold the line and roll back and force the Islamic Republic to say, hey, if you don't like it, you can violate the MOU.
