Andres Ilves, Leila Bazzi, and Matt Kaminski take up Week 4 of the Iran war. The U.S. and Iran are talking — is this it for the fighting? Who will cave on what?

 Then they give their latest read on the life expectancy of the Iranian regime, based on what we hear from inside Iran and the state of the war.

 Plus Lebanon isn’t on the same side of the conflict with Israel the way that the Gulf states are but there’s a break emerging in Beirut with Iran.
