We simply have to wait and see what happens. Everything else is unclear.
You can win a war during hostilities yet lose it during negotiation

You can survive a war but the fall for demise during ceasefire talks

Iran's survival was how it won this war. It didn't win a clear military victory in terms of military. This is not something simple when you fight the greatest power in history without any contender. This is major success that is unrivalled.

However the details in the fine print are what matters because those who attacked Iran can again attack one day.

As for Lebanon, yeah it's murky and not good at all. IDF presence in south Lebanon is a big meh..they can be forced out eventually

The risk here is a ceasefire that they continue to demolish towns in and the wipe out the place where more than 200,000 live and turn the area into a polluted wasteland

Then at the same time the Lebanese state persue talks with Israel for peace as the dog hinted tonight and said he is ready to meet and go anywhere to secure peace.

Peace with Israel after all it did. Lebanon is losing an opportunity to tie it's fate to a generational deal between the U.S and Iran

Why is it not doing it? Because defeating Hezbullah and destroying it is a task more loved by Lebanese than by Israel

That Lebanese state and others hate Hezbullah more than Israel. That working with this Iran-Us deal will protect Hezbullah and this is something they don't want

After Israel went nuts after being shocked by Trump's Public statement that they are no longer allowed to attack Lebanon, the Trump administration issued a clarification.

Israel can attack in self defense and there is no limit to what self defense can be defined. It can be a new war under the pretext of self defense.

โ—๏ธA U.S. official clarifies Trump's Lebanon comments: โ€œThe Presidentโ€™s ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel clearly states that Israel will not carry out any offensive military operations against Lebanese targets but preserves its right to self-defense against planned, imminent, or ongoing attacks"

I beg you Hezbullah. Adopt it widely and very fast

This is a ceasefire that the IDF wants to have the Lebanese state and army fight on its behalf to disarm Hezbullah after the IDF acknowledged clearly that the IDF reserves are exhausted and the IDF is incapable of invading all of Lebanon to disarm every town and village

The current lines of occupation are similar to the 1980's excluding some important area they didn't enter.

The IDF ground invasion is pathetic, a few km into Lebanon against towns they invaded and attacked and levelled in the 2024 and softened in the support front that sit under high ridges the IDF sits in (in Israel) after proactive attacks and depopulation for 15 months.

Hezbullah didn't do as good as you would want to see Israel defeated as. But they did all what is humanly possible and excelled under whatever harsh condition there was and still is

The IDF says the ceasefire will allow it to fortify the occupation in the current area to protect Israel from ATGMs attacks (this is why we need dozens of FPVs)

The IDF will demolish towns and build bases inside Lebanon as a precaution that the Lebanese state will not be able to disarm Hezbullah

If the Lebanese state fails and occupation stays, resistance acts and war happens again

Do you guys understand the circle of events here?

Is there so sane leader in this world that believes in judgement day and isn't blackmailed by the Jews?

Jews are celebrating the demolition of towns.

Curse anyone who wants to distinguish between Zionism and Judaism. Had there been any different, we would have been action and voices against these crimes

The so-called ground invasion to the Litani river.

The IDF fights civilians before it even fights combatants and its warfare's doctrine involves punishment more than it involves defeat of the enemy as a first goal

Fighting the IDF is a costly task and worse under current conditions. Idk what the future holds...we will see

I hope to see the day the Jews suffer for their crimes here.

Demolitions are ongoing in many towns all through the night and this morning

A neighborhood after a neighborhood in a very heinous Israeli war crime

Houses that we will be begging someone to fund to rebuild when they should have not been allowed to be demolished!

The cunt Lebanese president and PM have no comments ofc. The Lebanese army is silent.

Again, a new drone strike happened in Lebanon near Hadatha. It injured a Syrian laborer

โ—๏ธ French occupation forces attempted to raid Hezbullah positions in south Lebanon's Ghandourieh town as if there is no temporary ceasefire and Israeli forces are still in Lebanon

One soldier was killed and 3 others injured, including two seriously. (French die but Israelis never die)

The Lebanese president Aoun called Macron to offer condolences.

Expect a massive wave of arrests by the Lebanese army soon against locals and Hezbullah fighters in the town
๐Ÿ‘68๐Ÿคฌ41๐Ÿซก18๐Ÿ‘€4
The Lebanese army wants to arrest the shooters, the Lebanese

But said NOTHING about the Israeli violations of the ceasefire or any procedures to counter them or fortify its presence in south Lebanon
๐Ÿ’”63๐Ÿคฌ46๐Ÿ‘16๐Ÿซก1
Ghandourieh is literally at the so-called Israeli occupation line and near Qantara

The French should lick their wounds and fuck off.

They have bases in the Israeli occupied area they should look after.
