“there seems to be this effort to create a narrative within the US administration that Iran is maybe thinking about moderating their response. Do you think there’s any truth to that?
I don’t. I think that’s wishful thinking. I think the sources of that reporting are coming from the administration.
It is the world they’d like to live in, but I don’t think that’s the world and the reality that we’re in right now.”

“Hamas, Hezbollah, and the constellation of the Houthis, the Axis of Resistance, all have different relationships with Tehran.
All of them are dependent upon Iran for material expertise, mostly funding, and certainly a broad variety of economic support. Hezbollah, though, is in its own category. It was the first, it’s the crown jewel in the Axis crown.
It, as more as than any other organization within the Axis, has the ability to act somewhat independently. It is the best resource. But at the end of the day, they are still completely dependent for their survival and sustained operations on Tehran.”

“there are no circumstances in which Hezbollah would intentionally escalate a scenario without a degree of approval from Tehran and from the leadership there.”
