U.S.

forces, as we know, are operating near the strait, but not necessarily inside it.

And they are enforcing this U.S.

blockade of ships going to and from Iranian ports.

And Iran, of course, is enforcing its own blockade.

Yeah, so Michelle, it came after days of shooting exchanges that were increasing on two separate fronts, the U.S.

and Iran in and around the Gulf, and Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

And this all boiled over on Sunday.

Israel and Hezbollah were trading fire, and then Iran intervened and fired missiles at Israel.

Israel then launched missiles at Iran.

As you noted, this ended very quickly as Israel and Iran agreed to stop attacking each other, but nothing was resolved, and both sides set conditions that could lead to another round at any time.

Israel says its forces will keep operating in Lebanon, and just this morning it ordered the evacuation of remaining residents in the Lebanese coastal city of Tyre.

And Iran says further attacks in Lebanon could lead to another and larger Iranian response.

Yeah, it certainly seems so.

Iran sees Lebanon as a way to pressure Trump and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu and to divide them.

Remember, just last week, Iran said it would stop negotiations with the U.S.

if Israel went ahead with a threat to bomb Hezbollah in Beirut.

Trump then had an angry phone call with Netanyahu and told him, don't do it.

And then when Israel and Iran were trading missiles on Monday, Trump intervened again and told both sides to stop.

So we're seeing a public rift between Trump and Netanyahu over Lebanon.
