“In a remarkable statement Monday afternoon, Lebanon called for direct talks with Israel on “permanent arrangements for security and stability on our borders,” while accusing the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah of betraying the country.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun detailed his plan during a virtual meeting with European Union officials, in which he leveled sharp criticism at Hezbollah and Israel for what he called “an attempt to corner my country.
Calling the Shiite Muslim group “an armed faction … that places no value on Lebanon’s interest nor on the life of its people,” Aoun said Hezbollah “wanted to achieve the fall of the State of Lebanon, under aggression and chaos.” He accused the group of working “for the sake of the calculations of the Iranian regime.”

Stopping attacks on Hezbollah would be so stupid of Israel… I am honestly surprised people thought that would happen.
Hezbollah is at its weakest and has a border with Israel. Now is the ideal time to hurt them.

It’s all because of Pakistan handing out different terms of the negotiations to US and Iran.
He said that yesterday. Today he said they would go to the talks with the US.

lmao, then you shouldn’t have called them to join your war. Did you really think that Israel wouldn’t use this opportunity?

And what about the attacks by Hezbollah, which Iran itself uses as proxies? Hypocrites.

Lebanon was never part of the deal. This is just an excuse the Islamic Republic is using to justify more terrorism and war crimes.

Lebanon and the UN should simply enforce UN resolution 1701. I don’t even think they’ve tried to do so since 2006.

Iran’s president has literally 0 power in the country right now. Who cares what he says.

Knowing Israel, it would suprise me if they halted all attacks for now in hopes of achieving a peace deal with Iran alongside the U.S.
If you think about it, this moment in time is probably the best chance for Israel to go full throttle and do as much damage on Iran, not only because they are in a literal war with Iran right now, but also because they have the U.S under Trump on their team as well. Why would they want a peace deal? If anything, they would want this war to continue for as long as possible to achieve their goal of destroying Iran, its regime and its proxies as much as possible.

I hope there will be lasting peace between Lebanon and Israel.

I’m sure he mentioned the continued bombing of Israel by Hezbollah during his address… didn’t he?

Almost like the Iranians don’t understand Westphalian nation states, while hiding behind the concept of Westphalian nation states…

The Trump regime is so stupid and rotten they managed to give the authoritarian regime in Iran the morale high ground, unbelievable

Connecting their proxy needs/wants directly into diplomacy with and regarding Iran itself is a risky move. We all know it won’t make a difference with the US.
But the rest of the World would like a way forward that does not include proxy militia stirring up shit whenever Iran feels the need to throw sand into gears.
Forcing the strait is not an option. Yet.
As time goes by, Iran has a *thin* ledge on which to tread. Nobody wants to be aside Trump’s America in this mess. Or for the mess to exist in the first place. But if Iran can’t focus and drags all proxy demands into this, nothing will get done. And the clock will force a decision.
Because oil reserves are going down. And once prices are no longer pushed, Governments will be forced to act. If they don’t, people will. Either way, the resulting *zugzwang* would result in rash actions.

They know a ceasefire is just to allow the US and Israel to regroup for their next assault.

They never had meaning in the first place
