So let's turn to Sam to talk about how this looks from the perspective of Lebanon, which has been the ground zero of violence.
34:07
Hi.
34:10
Yeah, I mean, so I am waiting for the text of the MOU to come out.
34:17
I mean, we've seen kind of mixed reports about whether some of the published or leaked texts are actually indicative of the final terms.
34:29
uh yeah because i want to see how lebanon figures into this um both you know for a like a personal reason you know as somebody who uh who lives in and cares about lebanon um But then also, yes, I mean, just because, you know, as I think many people have pointed out, then Lebanon seems like it is the most likely point of failure for this like emerging region-wide agreement.
35:04
I think that so early in this conflict, you know, after kind of Hezbollah entered on, I guess, March 2nd, I think there were a lot of questions initially, right, about whether Iran would really meaningfully support Hezbollah and Lebanon, or whether, you know, it might treat as a more disposable proxy or a card to be, you know, to be bargained away.
35:44
But to date, I mean, it seems like, you know, that the Iranians have lent kind of meaningful political military support to, to Hezbollah and to Lebanon.
