And now does the LAF or do segments of it uh answer to Hezbollah's orders?
I I don't know if there's necessarily evidence for that, but that there's not necessarily a need for that to have a problem.
If you have people within the LAF that are full-time
LAF soldiers.
And because they come from a certain environment, or because they have certain loyalties, or because there's financial incentives or whatever, you fill in the gaps, uh, tend to provide intelligence to Hezbollah, uh, tend to give them heads up on weapons ship uh weapons seizures, tend to turn a blind eye to their activities.
That's enough.
You know, you don't need complete complete command and control by Hezbollah over the LAF or any um any uh uh you know constituent.
Parts of it to really have a problem.
And this is what we see.
We see coordination and deconfliction.
And the LAF doesn't hide this.
Now, the question of Iran and how it deals with Hezbollah, this is why I always reject the idea of Hezbolla being an Iranian occupation, right?
Because Hezbollah is, I think I've said this on the show, it is it wants 100% Lebanese because it's its its constitution is 100% Lebanese, right?
From its leadership down to the lowliest grunt, it's
Lebanese, the people that support it and make it a credible and influential phenomenon in Lebanon are Lebanese.
Its loyalties are to this uh you know religious theocratic uh uh political concept of Ulaqih that that that rests in Iran.
Um so it's it's also 100% Iranian in that sense.
Now, how does the relationship work out between them?
It's it's it's
It's I would say at once hierarchical, but consultative, meaning Iran does sit at the top.
