Asking the US to support Hezbollah in Lebanon, and allow the IGRC the ability to enrich unranium, is deeply ignorant of the realpolitik. The US is going to cycle IRGC leadership until it gets what it wants.

The biggest problem here is that I can totally see Iran being consistant and including Lebanon in the ceasefire. And I can also see the US administration agreeing to something and then claiming they didn't. Trust in these administrations negotiations must be at an all time low. At least in times past they pretended to follow along, and used black ops to hide violations, Israel is dragging the US into something it really shouldn't be getting involved in and it's going to end really badly.
