President Trump should give a free hand to Israel in Lebanon. His policy of tying Israeli actions in Lebanon to the negotiations in the Gulf simply emboldens Iran and Hezbollah. It weakens the U.S. The videos below show Israelis on the beach in Nahariyah running from UAV attacks. Between 11pm yesterday and 11am this morning, Hezballah fired 65 rockets and 2 anti-tank missiles at Israeli troops; 14 rockets at Israeli communities, including Kiryat Shmona and Nahariya; and 10 UAVs at communities and troops.

Israeli forces launched multiple airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, targeting what they described as underground drone production sites linked to Hezbollah. The strikes hit eight buildings across four locations in the neighborhoods of Hadath, Haret Hreik, and Borj el-Barajneh. Residents were issued forced displacement warnings before the attacks, as Israeli forces ordered them to flee their homes under threat of bombardment. Israeli officials claimed the strikes were aimed at preventing Hezbollah from developing advanced drone capabilities, which they argue violate the November 2024 ceasefire agreement. Lebanese authorities condemned the strikes as a breach of international law and a violation of the ceasefire. These air strikes, on the eve of the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha, are the fourth wave of attacks on Beirut since the ceasefire in November 2024.

$BREAKING: The ceasefire just ate itself. The Head of Iran’s Parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Committee just stated: after the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, all plans to open the Strait of Hormuz must immediately cease until there are assurances that Lebanon is included in the ceasefire. There is either a ceasefire on all fronts, or a ceasefire nowhere at all. The entire premise of the deal was Hormuz reopening. Trump’s condition was complete, immediate, and safe opening of the strait. Iran accepted. The ceasefire was built on that single exchange: pause the bombs, open the water. Brent crashed 13 percent. The S&P surged. The market priced peace. Now Iran is threatening to reverse the only thing the ceasefire achieved because of something the ceasefire never included. Three contradictions in 24 hours. Pakistan announced the ceasefire covers everywhere including Lebanon. Netanyahu said it does not include Lebanon and launched the largest IDF strike since Roaring Lion began: 100 Hezbollah targets in 10 minutes. Now Iran says Hormuz stays closed unless Lebanon is covered. The deal’s architect says it includes Lebanon. The deal’s beneficiary says it excludes Lebanon. And now the deal’s other signatory says the core deliverable is revoked unless the excluded front is reinstated. This is what happens when a ceasefire is brokered through intermediaries who need both sides to say yes more than they need both sides to agree. Pakistan shuttled drafts between Washington and Tehran through five mediating channels in one chaotic day. Egypt bridged language. Turkey provided backchannels. China urged an off-ramp. The framework was drafted with sufficient ambiguity that Iran could tell Hezbollah it was covered and Israel could tell its public it was not. That ambiguity held for exactly 18 hours before the IDF’s 100-target strike forced Iran to choose between Hezbollah solidarity and Hormuz revenue. Iran chose Hezbollah. The implications cascade immediately. If Iran follows through and halts Hormuz reopening, the 15 to 20 vessels currently transiting under IRGC clearance codes stop. The yuan toll revenue that was funding reconstruction stops. The ceasefire’s only tangible achievement, the strait reopening that crashed oil prices, reverses. And Trump’s conditional two-week suspension, which was explicitly revocable if Hormuz did not open immediately and safely, faces its trigger event on day one. Trump has three options. Accept Lebanon inclusion, which means pressuring Netanyahu to halt strikes against Hezbollah, which Israel has refused. Reject Lebanon inclusion, which means Iran re-closes Hormuz, which voids the ceasefire’s premise. Or ignore the threat and continue as if the 15 ships passing through a yuan toll booth constitute an open strait, which means the Islamabad talks on Friday begin over a deal that both parties are publicly threatening to revoke. The molecule crisis does not pause for diplomatic fractures. The crackers are rubble. The pipeline bypass just took a drone. The fertiliser is trapped behind the gate. The centrifuges are spinning. And the strait that was supposed to reopen as the war’s first peace dividend is now being held hostage to a front that was never agreed upon, by a parliament that legislated tolls on March 31, in a country whose supreme leader has not been seen in 39 days. One ceasefire. Three interpretations. Zero days before collapse. Full analysis on Substack.$

The Lebanese Army was deployed to al-Baysariyah, southern Lebanon, after clashes erupted between locals (likely linked to Amal) and Hezbollah members. According to several media outlets including al-Arabiya, the clashes stemmed from Hezbollah placing rocket launchers between civilian homes. According to a largely credible local Lebanese outlet, a-Dawla, the tensions stemmed from Amal members dismantling part of Hezbollah's communications network in the village, fearing its presence will lead to Israel striking the town. Since Hezbollah launched the 6 rockets at Israel, it has faced unprecedented criticism from within the Shia community about this ill-fated decision that brought destruction and death upon the community

Multiple reports from southern Lebanon indicate that Hezbollah launched several heavy rocket barrages on Thursday night targeting Israeli occupation forces advancing near Kfar Tebnit and Ali al-Taher. According to local sources, Israeli occupation forces reportedly moved from Arnoun toward the Tabaja station area in large numbers, while another force advanced from the Zaffata area toward the outskirts of Kfar Tebnit. The advancing troops were met with successive volleys of rockets and guided missiles aimed at troop concentrations and areas of incursion.

Do you still think US operations surrounding Venezuela are about drugs? A few hours ago, Iran began testing ballistic missiles. Yesterday, Israel warned the USA that Iran may use today's "tests" as cover for an attack against Israel. Since Dec 10th, the USA has seized 3 oil tankers near Venezuela. Two of the tankers have been confirmed to be linked to the IRGC and Hezbollah. Israel has been bombing Hezbollah, which is largely funded and backed by Iran's IRGC, almost daily in southern Lebanon. US Air Force refueling tankers have doubled in Tampa in the last 30 days. Over 30% of the US Navy's deployable force is committed to the Venezuela mission. Trump is making an announcement at 4 pm EST today.

Israel has backtracked and has not included Lebanon in the ceasefire. 🇮🇱🇱🇧 Following Israel’s strategic defeat in its quest to eliminate the current Iranian political regime, Tel Aviv will now focus on eliminating Hezbollah in Lebanon. Netanyahu announced that Lebanon is not included in the ceasefire despite the US, Iran and Pakistan (which has taken an important role in the negotiations for a ceasefire) announces. To this end, operations south of the Litani River are likely to intensify in what could be a long war if external pressure does not force the Zionist political regime to desist. This operation could leave Lebanon partially occupied and destroyed, as has happened in Gaza, under the pretext of fighting armed groups. Eliminating Hezbollah would represent Israel’s ultimate success in ‘neutralising’ all its neighbours, securing lasting peace in the Levant and, for Iran, a loss of influence behind Israeli lines (having Hezbollah is like having a land front against Israel). As for Lebanon, the country would have no chance of defending itself with a government and an army currently subservient to external dictates, and new dissident movements could emerge, leading to a new civil war. Hezbollah, after all, is more than a paramilitary group; it is a state within a state. In fact, the Israeli opposition is deeply disappointed with the ceasefire, branding it a humiliating defeat. Lebanon could be the consolation prize to appease the most radical sector of Zionism. To demonstrate Israel’s resolve, southern Lebanon was bombed this morning, resulting in further civilian casualties.

On the Iranian drone attack on the US military outpost inside Erbil Airport, and the missiles fired at the US Consulate in Erbil, all incoming projectiles have so far been intercepted, with no reported hits. Reports indicate that around two drones targeted the airport, while two to three missiles or rockets were launched toward the consulate. For now, the impact is mainly psychological. The dinar-to-dollar exchange rate is rising, and schools and universities across Kurdistan have been suspended at least until Wednesday.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱BREAKING: Iran–U.S. Talks in Islamabad as Israel Escalates in Lebanon Rejecting Ceasefire despite Washington Talks. Israeli forces are raiding Nabatieh and attempting ground control in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon as the U.S and Iran arrive in Islamabad to hold talks. Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi says Iran is entering negotiations with “complete distrust,” blaming repeated U.S. failures to uphold commitments, and calling for immediate international action to stop Israeli attacks on Lebanon. He stressed Iran will defend its interests fully. An Iranian delegation led by Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf arrived in Islamabad and met Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir. Tehran protested U.S. ceasefire violations, noting it agreed to talks on two conditions, release of frozen assets and a Lebanon ceasefire, both reportedly accepted via Pakistani mediation but not yet implemented. Iran has also maintained restrictions on oil tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Talks are set for one day, with possible extension. Reuters, citing a senior Iranian source, reports the U.S. agreed to release frozen Iranian assets, which Tehran sees as a test of good faith and linked to safe passage in Hormuz before any permanent deal however a senior U.S. official told CBS News that Washington has not agreed to release any frozen Iranian assets, denying earlier reports. A Pakistani source told Al Jazeera efforts are ongoing for direct U.S.–Iran talks; otherwise, indirect talks will proceed within the same timeframe. Iran rejects separating Israel from the U.S., holding Washington fully responsible. Meanwhile, Israel says it will not discuss a ceasefire with Hezbollah in upcoming Washington meetings and continues operations in Lebanon. Sources: AlJazeera, Reuters, FarsNews, ISNA.

The IDF confirms killing two Hezbollah operatives in separate drone strikes in Lebanon earlier today. The first strike, near the southern Lebanon town of Naqoura, killed Abd a-Sayed, who the military says served as Hezbollah's local representative in the nearby village of Ras al-Bayada, and as part of his role, he was responsible for liaising between the terror group and the residents "on economic and military matters." The IDF says a-Sayed was also involved in efforts to restore Hezbollah military capabilities in the village. The second strike near the village of Nabi Chit in the eastern Beqaa Valley killed Ali Hussein al-Mousawi, who the IDF says was a weapons smuggler for the terror group. The IDF says that as part of his role, "he handled the purchasing and transfer of weapons from Syria to Lebanon," and he also "played a significant role in the reestablishment and strengthening of Hezbollah." "Throughout the past year, the terrorist has continuously smuggled weapons for Hezbollah," the military says.

Pleased to make my first visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in the shadow of the unjustifiable attacks the country recently suffered. I conveyed the EU’s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its people. We greatly value Saudi Arabia’s stabilising role and efforts to promote dialogue and diplomacy. It is crucial that the momentum of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement is maintained and that all parties engage in good faith to achieve a sustainable, comprehensive agreement. Iran’s leadership should seize this opportunity to address the concerns of the international community - on nuclear, on ballistic missiles, on freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and on its support to proxies in particular Hezbollah. Diplomacy is the only path towards lasting peace.

🇮🇷 Iran gains strategic advantage in conflict with US 💬 “After the [Israel-Lebanon] ceasefire was reached, Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz to commercial vessels, demonstrating its control over the situation,” Turkish political analyst Onur Sinan Guzaltan says. 🟠 Thanking Tehran, US President Donald Trump referred to it as “Iran’s strait.” 🟠 The analyst said Tehran has succeeded in advancing its conditions, including on the regional agenda, particularly in Lebanon. 💬 “The question remains whether the US and Israel will observe the ceasefire,” he added. 🟠 After Trump said the blockade of Iranian ports would remain until a US-Iran agreement is fully implemented, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responded that Hormuz would stay under strict Iranian control unless Washington guarantees freedom of navigation for vessels travelling to and from Iran. 🟠 Given the current state of affairs, the picture speaks for itself.

This morning, Israel withdrew from its first Lebanese village since the invasion in March, and the Lebanese Armed Forces have moved in to fill the void. The question is: Does this signal the beginning of a forced Israeli retreat, or the start of Lebanon’s long road to recovery? The answer is complicated. Israel can continue destroying Hezbollah infrastructure indefinitely, but it will pay massive international costs for doing so, with no way, short of a full invasion, to extinguish the group entirely. The framework agreement gives Israel legitimacy and time to uproot Hezbollah, but what Lebanon gives, it can also take away. If Beirut loses momentum and descends into state collapse, the entire agreement evaporates, and Hezbollah recovers out of Israel’s reach. This is the project President Joseph Aoun carries to Washington, where he meets Trump for the first time. Trump had no direct communication with Aoun during his first year in office—no meetings, calls, or letters. His sole contact has been in the form of inconsistent messaging on Lebanon’s fate: declaring after the June 26 agreement that “Iran is out, Hezbollah is out, and the road to peace between Israel and Lebanon is in,” then pivoting to pressure Netanyahu for unconditional withdrawal in the spirit of the Iran MOU, telling him, “They don’t want you there. You should redeploy,” before abandoning both positions altogether in favor of his own scheme, declaring, “Syria will do the job.” Aoun has already proven his willingness to buck Iran and pursue eventual peace with Israel. That was enough to earn this meeting. But anyone with a functioning memory knows the track record is bleak. Lebanon’s LAF claimed to have cleared Hezbollah infrastructure south of the Litani in late 2025, yet Israel continues finding significant assets there a year since their declaration. More damning still, LAF commander Rodolphe Haykal has explicitly prioritized “civil peace” over confronting Hezbollah—a strange priority for a general with orders to the contrary. The Lebanese military has proven as effective at disarming Hezbollah as UN peacekeepers have been, which is to say, not at all. Lebanese leaders have repeatedly promised and failed to disarm the group over the past 35 years—from the Taif Accord through the 2024 ceasefire. The uncomfortable truth is that throughout Lebanon’s history, only foreign powers—the United States, France, Israel, and Syria—have successfully disarmed Lebanese militias. Before Aoun goes all in on Hezbollah disarmament, he needs ironclad U.S. commitments. That means Delta Force-style training units for elite LAF operations, drones and sensors for border security, organized international fundraising for reconstruction, and business initiatives to rebuild Lebanon’s shattered economy. He also needs assurance that Trump will not abandon him halfway through his push. Trump, for his part, will demand specifics: a detailed plan for Hezbollah disarmament, removal of military officers complicit with the group, suspension of anti-normalization laws blocking Israeli-Lebanese civilian contact, and a clear reaffirmation that peace with Israel is Aoun’s strategic objective. Most critically, Aoun must decisively kill Trump’s recurring fantasy of deploying Syrian troops into Lebanon—a move that would resurrect memories of Assad-era brutality and paradoxically strengthen Hezbollah’s popular support. The circumstances favor success. The U.S.-Iran MOU is in tatters, eliminating easy alternatives to the framework. This week’s Rome talks were productive. Pilot zones are advancing. Trump will likely warm to Aoun personally, provided he takes a note from Zelensky and wears a suit. But this is about far more than personal rapport; the future of Lebanon hangs in the balance.

This morning, Israel withdrew from its first Lebanese village since the invasion in March, and the Lebanese Armed Forces have moved in to fill the void. The question is: Does this signal the beginning of a forced Israeli retreat, or the start of Lebanon’s long road to recovery? The answer is complicated. Israel can continue destroying Hezbollah infrastructure indefinitely, but it will pay massive international costs for doing so, with no way, short of a full invasion, to extinguish the group entirely. The framework agreement gives Israel legitimacy and time to uproot Hezbollah, but what Lebanon gives, it can also take away. If Beirut loses momentum and descends into state collapse, the entire agreement evaporates, and Hezbollah recovers out of Israel’s reach. This is the project President Joseph Aoun carries to Washington, where he meets Trump for the first time.
