00:00My assessment is that Hezbollah's diminishment, or let's say its degraded capabilities, have really nothing to do with Lebanon or
00:08Syria.
00:09It has to do with Israel.
00:10And the last two rounds of war that they've gone through with the Israelis in Lebanon, I think, is far
00:17more telling of where Hezbollah is right now,
00:19rather than Lebanese political opposition to the group or even Syrian militia-like opposition to the group in the past
00:2811, 12, 13 years.
00:30This is really a story between Israel and Hezbollah.
00:33And the severely degraded status Hezbollah finds itself in, and the less autonomous nature it has,
00:39and the more direct control it's facing under Iranian sponsorship and Iranian command,
00:45it has much more to do with what the Israelis have done to the group, not local opposition.
