And so that happened.

And then immediately thereafter, there was some talk about, well, hold on.

We've got a new ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel.

Let's try to patch this up quickly so we can keep the negotiations on track.

But again, that's the conversation.

The agreement is supposedly with the Lebanese government.

It's not with Hezbollah.

So I guess my question coming back out of out of this break will be how how how do we do this?

How do you negotiate anything meaningful with a government that has no control over the Iranian led government?

Hezbollah.

So I'm going to leave that on your desk and then we're going to take a quick break and then we'll be back with more from Jonathan Schatzer right here on the PDB situation report.

I know I know if you've been following along here at the PDB, you realize that it's all change every minute or two with this Iranian situation.

But it clearly is important.

you know, for not just the region, not just the U.S., but really for the world.

We've seen how it affects the global economy, global energy markets.

And so we have to cover it.

But the problem is, of course, that it changes every minute or two.

Anyway, we'll be right back.

Stick around.
