Can you equalize and hold the draw ?

White to move.

This position is something I came up with it is not a super hard position, but I think it will require a bit of thought.
White has to find the right move in order to equalize the position, but black can make a mistake and end in a worse endgame.

Bb2! Nxh3 2. Bxf6. Then 2. ... Ng1 or Nf2 3. Bd4 (attacking knight and pawn a7).
If
1 . Bb2! Qxb2+ 2. Kxb2 Nxh3 3. gxh3 the position is equal (or even a little bit more promising for white).

Yeah so 1...Nxh3 is not a good move.

I'm guessing white needs to move their rook

I am not going to give it away, also concrete lines are needed.

It is not necessarily possible to move the rook away 1.Bb2 Qxb2+ and now ?
