the Iranian terrorist group Hezbollah extremely hard.

So Iran immediately claims that the ceasefire was violated, which is weird because nothing in the ceasefire had to do with Israel and Lebanon, which is quite far away.

It turns out that Lebanon is a separate country from Iran.

And if the idea is that any ceasefire with Iran means that Israel can no longer defend itself against terrorist groups, that is not a ceasefire that Israel would have ever agreed to or that the United States ever should agree to because that's stupid.

It would mean that by grabbing the Strait of Hormuz, Iran could create the basis for terror attacks all across the region.

By the way, not just on Israel.

Over the course of the ceasefire, Saudi's pipeline, they had a major pipeline that was actually hit, that Saudi pipeline.

Now, originally, they thought that it was hit by the Iranians.

It turns out it was hit by an Iranian proxy group in Iraq.

OK, same difference.

So what Iran is doing is they're now attempting to reflex that terrorist muscle.

Right.

Remember, I said three points of leverage.

Terrorist groups, direct attack, direct attacks on America's allies and energy resources in the region and straight of Hormuz.

So they already lost two.

Right.

It didn't actually drive.

the Gulf allies into weakness with the Iranians.

And the terror groups, their proxy terror groups are very weak.

They're trying to reconstitute that now.
