All of a sudden, at the end of the hostilities, we started to hear that because of the intensity of the nuclear issue in Iran, that the Iranians wanted to defeat the United States in Lebanon. Immediately after that, we started hearing about calls for a national unity government, that this government is the government of the American ambassador.
