Supporting business there and theyve actually lost so now hes trying to prevent iran from getting more and more powerful so do you see these actions of sickly even iran taking as ratcheting up the tensions between them it is very frightening little bit because we know that lebanon is a very fragile country its a very small country and it has also also had a devastating civil war in the eightys and the early ninetys so every small step towards a war or escalation can bring this country to brink of a proxy war to civil war and this is nothing that can be good for the region at the moment certainly now that.
