🇱🇧 Trump’s envoys in Lebanon, Tom Barrack and Morgan Ortagus (self-nicknamed “beauty and the beast”) used their press conference in Beirut today to pitch an “economic zone” for south Lebanon, backed by U.S. and Gulf investment, in exchange for Hezbollah’s disarmament. ▪️ They said Israel would withdraw from Lebanese territory “step by step” only in parallel with Lebanon’s plan to disarm Hezbollah. ➤ Barrack described this as a “cadence” — every Lebanese move to dismantle Hezbollah would be matched by an Israeli move, but the details would only be revealed once Lebanon produces a formal disarmament plan (expected by the end of August). Ortagus called the Lebanese government’s August 5 decision to consolidate weapons under state control “historic,” but said that “it’s not about words, now it’s about action.” ▪️ They framed Hezbollah’s arms as a product of Iranian financing and outside interference, and said the solution was to replace that support with Gulf and U.S. investment. ➤ Barrack argued Hezbollah’s fighters — “40,000 people being paid by Iran to fight” — could not simply be told to “go plant olive trees.” Instead, he pitched a new economic zone in the south, funded by Saudi and Qatari capital, as a substitute for Hezbollah’s infrastructure. ▪️ The envoys claimed Syria was ready for border agreements and Israel had privately signaled willingness to withdraw, but only once Lebanon commits to disarmament. ➤ ➤ Barrack — whose grandparents were Lebanese — lashed out at an eager press corps that tried to question him before he reached the stage. He scolded them for acting “animalistic” and not acting “civilized,” calling it a problem across the region. Unsurprisingly, the remarks drew backlash and were widely condemned in regional media as racist and condescending — consistent with the broader U.S. policy of dictating Lebanon’s future. 🎥 The full press conference is below.

🚨 REPORT | Israel expands strikes on civilian infrastructure across southern Lebanon, targeting bridges, fuel stations, and financial lifelines The latest strikes and threats point to a three-part strategy: cutting off the south, hitting fuel stations, and targeting financial institutions tied to Hezbollah. ▪️ 1. Bridges: isolating southern Lebanon 💢 Israeli forces have begun bombing crossings over the Litani River, a key geographic boundary separating southern Lebanon from the rest of the country. Civilians were ordered to move north, with the military warning that “any movement southward may put your life at risk.” Bridges targeted include: ▪️ Al-Qinayat Bridge (Al-Qasmiya, near Tyre) struck today ▪️ Qaaqiya Bridge (inland south Lebanon) hit today ▪️ Burj Rahhal crossing (coastal Tyre district) confirmed hit ▪️ Zrariyeh Bridge (central Litani corridor) destroyed March 13 These crossings are critical civilian routes. Their destruction effectively cuts off large parts of southern Lebanon. ▪️ 2. Fuel stations: targeting energy access Israel says it struck fuel stations operated by the “Al-Amanah” company, claiming they generate millions of dollars for Hezbollah through accounts linked to Al-Qard Al-Hassan. But these stations also serve civilians across southern Lebanon, meaning the strikes directly hit access to fuel in already strained areas. Israel has framed the attacks as part of a broader effort to damage what it calls Hezbollah’s economic infrastructure by striking at “the heart of the civilian population.” ▪️ 3. Financial institutions: targeting Al-Qard Al-Hassan Israel has also explicitly cast these strikes as an attack on the financial system tied to Al-Qard Al-Hassan, a Hezbollah-linked institution that it accuses of helping fund military activity. But Al-Qard Al-Hassan also functions as a major financial lifeline for many Lebanese, especially in the south, providing loans and services in areas where access to traditional banking is limited. ▪️ Scale of attacks: Israel says it has destroyed more than 80 “infrastructure targets” over the past week as part of what it calls a “forward defense” campaign. ▪️ Legal implications The UN Human Rights Office warned March 17 that strikes on bridges, healthcare facilities, residential buildings, and other civilian objects could amount to war crimes, stressing that deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure are prohibited under international law. 🎥 Video 1: Qasmiyeh crossing (not the main bridge) Video 2: Israeli military attack on infrastructure, target undisclosed

🇺🇸🇨🇳 What China's Long March 10B successful launch/recovery means within US plans to encircle, contain, & confront China... ▪️One of the US' remaining advantages is its ability to launch more payload to orbit each year than China and Russia combined - allowing it to not only build larger constellations of satellites like Starlink and its fully militarized version, Starshield faster, but in the event of orbital warfare (anti-satellite operations) the US could replace their own faster than China and Russia can even deploy them in the first place; ▪️When China ramps up its actual launch cadence with launch reusability, it will be able to at least match, if not surpass the US; ▪️This will benefit China and its allies like Russia tremendously with both larger and more capable constellations than the US, as well as the ability to eliminate US satellites and replace their own at a higher rate; ▪️That means there is now another rapidly closing window the US has to exploit before this transition takes place, and this advantage is neutralized; ▪️The only question now is how long will it take for China to catch up, and what will the US try to do in the interim to exploit its current advantage before it no longer exists? ▪️The likely window closes around 2030 - another reason the US keeps projecting "war" with China - because 2030 is the point of no return, not just for space, but AI and whatever other advantages the US still has; ▪️For people wondering why China isn't going to war with the US over Palestine or Iran or wherever else, it is likely because Beijing tracks China's rise as inevitable, UNLESS, it does something like step into a war the US wants to fight with China sooner rather than later...

Does Israel have the right to self defense when Hezbollah attacks? Absolutely. Would now be a good time to defer that to help President Trump negotiate? Absolutely. A public statement from PM Netanyahu that they will pull back in return for a guarantee of support if no deal is done seems wise. Iran is using Hezbollah to create issues it can exploit in the negotiations as I told Johnny Joey. Israel is being blamed for responding and the damage they do to Hezbollah cannot be decisive in ther current situation. If Israel makes the move to say they will make no retaliations and only take purely defensive shoot down operations against missiles and drones (for a set time) it removes that ploy by Iran. If Hezbollah continues to attack it will prove to the world who is the actual aggressor in spite of the lies told by the media. This will gain tremendous good will from the US which can turn into promises that ending Iran's support for Hezbollah is a must have for a final deal. And also that if there is no final deal the US will support Israel destroying Hezbollah and fully enforcing the UN resolution requiring no terrorists South of the Litani river in Lebanon. I would even go so far as to request US agreement that Israel can maintain a buffer zone inside Lebanon until the situation stabilizes enough that Hezbollah no longer presents a threat to Northern Israel. This could also be part of the ongoing negotiations between Israel and the actual Lebanese government being conducted with help from the US State Department.

Following Israel's attack on Dahiya this morning Iran faces a crossroads: For months, we’ve been discussing how Iran will influence Lebanon. It turns out the real question is how Lebanon affects Iran. Right now, we are at a dramatic crossroads. The reason is clear: following the phone call between Trump and Netanyahu—and the U.S. prohibition on Israel striking the Dahiya—both Iran and Hezbollah have grown increasingly emboldened. They view this as absolute proof that Trump has no desire to return to a war with Iran. As a result, they feel they have a free hand, believing that no threat they make, and no attack they launch, will drag Trump back into the conflict. This explains why Hezbollah feels free to barrage our northern communities with rockets, and why Iran feels comfortable issuing threats. It also contextualizes what we saw this afternoon: an Israeli strike on Beirut. This is a highly significant event on our front with Lebanon and Hezbollah, but it carries equal weight on the Iranian front with the U.S. I’m also hearing that Iran feels much less pressure to make concessions in those major negotiations precisely because of what they see unfolding in Lebanon. In that sense, Israel did the bare minimum today by striking what were likely empty command centers. However, it reinforced a clear equation: “If you don’t attack Kiryat Shmona, we won’t attack the Dahiya.” That equation remains very much in effect. Now, the ball is in Iran’s court. The pressing question—one that concerns every single one of us—is this: How far will they go? Or are they, ultimately, just a paper tiger?
