And this is exactly why the IDF continues to operate in southern Lebanon.
And in that way, Lebanon is sort of looking like the center of the question of whether this will hold or not.
That's right.
And I think that's really where the danger is right now.
is that Hezbollah has moved from the periphery to the central front in the future of peace between Israel, Iran, and the United States, and to this question of control.
just how much Iran can keep Hezbollah in check so it doesn't blow up the deal, and how much the United States can restrain Israel from attacking Hezbollah also, which might potentially blow up the deal.
That's right.
Correct.
Yes, though I think there's a dangerous game here that Iran might be playing.
And they recognize that, right?
They do not want a return to full-scale war.
They have locked in an agreement right now that is very favorable for them, right?
Effectively, all they had to do was open the Strait of Hormuz, and now they've got a lot of money coming to them in what were frozen assets, right?
So a return to a full-scale war imperils that deal, but also brings a lot more violence to the country of Iran.
So to Rona's point, I think there's this question of if they can keep the sort of temperature at the right level where it can continue to imperil the relationship between Netanyahu and Trump without going back to a full scale war.
And that's the sort of danger here.
But thus far, they've been playing it quite well.
That's right.
When two drones are shot into the desert and drop harmlessly, you don't have to knock down buildings in Beirut.
They could behave better.
