Thank you.
I've heard Mr. Ahmadinejad called many things, and magician is not one, but there's a certain element of that.
In the early stages I think much of the western world looked at him as some kind of buffoon and not as someone to be taken seriously and as someone who was in way over his head. He's a much smarter man than the public persona he provides to the west. We cannot dismiss his threats, but sometimes he's trying to whip up domestic support, and saying nasty things about Israel unfortunately is one way to bolster his credibility in the streets of Iran and in some parts of the Arab world. We need to take his comments seriously, but also sometimes the perspective is that it's aimed more at the domestic audience. He knows when he says things like that the western world is going to get angry, and then he can look to his people as if he's standing up to the west. That's part of the domestic play on that.
As for Israel, I'm in no position to make any comments on what Israel's defence strategy will be. We are not aware of any 30-day approach. Israel has publicly stated it is not looking for an attack on Iran; it wants the diplomatic process to work its way out. We have no reason to believe that Israel does not want to see a diplomatic solution.
The influence that Iran has with Hezbollah compared to others.... Iran is probably Hezbollah's most important international ally. Hezbollah was created with the support of the Iranian government back in the 1980s. They are the main supplier of funding and other resources for the Hezbollah organization. I'm straying a little beyond my area of expertise, but it is our assessment that Hezbollah is not simply a tool of Iran; it has its own domestic agenda, its own domestic resources. But Iran is certainly its key partner. Syria is also very important for Hezbollah. It's hard to say which is more. I know more about Iran than I do Syria, so I tend to look at Iran as being key. Jordan is not a partner for Hezbollah; Jordan is a good partner for us. There are no connections that we're aware of between the Jordanian government and Hezbollah. Frankly, we'd be very surprised if there ever was such a connection.
