00:00In your mind, is that something that you're worried about?

00:03Of course, right?

00:04I mean, this is a designated terrorist organization with a lot of American blood on their hands.

00:08They've been degraded, though.

00:10Absolutely.

00:11Ultimately, this all comes down to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

00:15You know, remember that the devastation, part of the devastation that the Lebanese people face today,

00:19especially in southern Lebanon, was because of Iran and Hezbollah.

00:23The government of Lebanon didn't want to go to war with Israel.

00:26It was on October 8th, 2023, that Hezbollah in Iran decided to get into the war,

00:32which ultimately led for catastrophic consequences for the people of the south.

00:37And there's Shia villages, Christian villages down there.

00:41These people deserve a lot better.

00:43They were forced into a war that nobody wanted to be in,

00:46and their livelihoods and their homes and their communities were destroyed because of it.

00:50So I hope that they will make the choice to cast off people who only want war with their neighbors

00:56and instead to turn to a brighter future.
