Is there is adisconnect emerging between Iran and Hezbollah?

Is it becoming increasingly difficult for Iran to keep Hezbollah under control?

Is Iran finding that support for Hezbollah materially and politically is paying far too high a price to its economic well being and international standing?

Hence Hezbollahs increasing grip on the meagre resources of Lebanon to finance Nasrallahs lifestyle, Hezbollah operations and military hardware

And the obscene specatcle of Hariri, Aooooooon and assorted Hezbollah pictured grimacing together as part of the new Lebanese Terrorist State

This may be Irans best chance to cut that umbilical cord with Hezbollah to set Iran free on a new path of international reconciliation and economic prosperity

Palestinians and Lebanese are crying out for Israel to kill several thousand of its citizens. This urgent need is detected in each and every one of their individual statements as well as in their public demonstrations. Whenever those symptoms have occurred the events have ended in war. Israel will have to take on again the arduous work of calming the beasts of the field. A few thousand dead, this time about 10,000, will manage to pacify the turbulent mobs for some years. Israel has the obligation to take advantage of the very favorable mandate of the President Trump to wage the series of wars that guarantee its territorial supremacy for the next 25 years. In the current circumstances, peace would be the greatest error and the greatest cravenness.
