LEBANON AFFAIRS: Lebanese refugees support Israel’s efforts to defeat Hezbollah, fearing the return of the Iranian proxy if Israel withdraws before the job is done. Their plea: Finish the fight.
"Today, we negotiate and decide for ourselves. We are no longer a card in anyone's game, nor an arena for anyone's wars, and we never will be again," Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf asserted that the US "did not win the war with these lies," adding that "they will certainly not get anywhere in negotiations either.”
Iran has "agreed to everything," said Trump, adding that the current US blockade against Iranian traffic in the Strait of Hormuz will remain until a deal is reached.
The military views the Litani River as the new indefinite security line in case Lebanon can't guarantee Hezbollah's disarmament.
Iran lost hundreds of billions, which could destabilize vulnerable Mojtaba Khamenei; 60% uranium to be removed in US deal.
The announcement was aspirational in that Hamas has not yet done so, and no one can really know whether the Gazan terror group will follow through.
US President Donald Trump also confirmed that the US plans to work with Lebanon separately.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that ships wanting to cross the Strait will need to do so on the coordinated route announced by the Islamic regime.
Two dozen jets, along with Pakistan's Airborne Warning and Control System for aerial surveillance, were deployed to escort the Iranian delegation back from Islamabad.
According to videos circulating on social media, the civilians who fled north at the start of Israel's war with Hezbollah are trying to make their way back south via the Litani's central bridge.
