[The Last Airbender] Since Iroh was a white lotus member and a good guy the whole time, what was his plan when Zuko captured Aang in episode 2?

In episode 2 Zuko captures Aang and is on his way back to the fire nation to bring him there but Iroh makes no attempt to prevent this. 

We know that Iroh is opposed to the capture of the avatar since he helps him escape in the book 2 finale, but was his plan in this instance? Even when Aang escapes on Appa he helps Zuko try to bring him down with a fire blast, I’m just confused as to what his intentions were.

Iroh was genuinely trying to help Zuko, both to be come a better person away from his father but to also capture the avatar. Iroh steps away from the fire nation in season 2 when they are on the run, which is the culmination of his progress since his son died. 

I don't think the white lotus was necessarily a anti fire nation organisation, they just stepped up to stop genocide. 

I suspect Iroh wouldn't let them kill Anng, but they didn't want to kill Anng as that would just make a new avatar. Likely if Anng was captured and imprisoned Iroh would maintain contact and eventually free him.
