Here's how those two conflicts are connected.

When the United States and Israel attacked Iran early this year, Iran's ally Hezbollah in Lebanon struck back against Israel.

Israeli forces then invaded Lebanon.

Now President Trump wants out of the war, and Iranians are insisting that any peace deal should include Lebanon.

Israeli forces have intensified attacks there and moved further into the country.

This new probe centers around the writer E. Jean Carroll, who won two lawsuits against the president for sexual abuse and defamation.

The new owners of CBS brought Weiss in last fall from her center-right opinion on news site The Free Press.

The goal was to move coverage away from what they believe is a woke and anti-President Trump tilt.

And now Weiss is trying to reinvent the network's most prestigious and highest-rated program, 60 Minutes.
