The diplomatic push for normalization runs parallel to, and is complicated by, Iran's stated support for Lebanese actors."
"Event 14 attributes Hezbollah's success to Iranian support, reinforcing the axis of resistance narrative. This stands in parallel to the new diplomatic development, as the framework agreement seeks to de-escalate tensions that are fueled by this very support structure."
