Israel is conducting a massive targeted assassination against the Iranian ceasefire in Beirut. There is no other way of looking at it:
1) It is the largest coordinated strike of the current war in Beirut and one of the biggest ever. The IDF stated it struck over 100 targets within just 10 minutes across Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, and southern Lebanon. At least 300 people have been killed or injured.
2) Netanyahu and the IDF stated that the ceasefire does not include Lebanon. This is, of course, a lie, as Pakistan (which came up with the deal) has confirmed.
3) Iran's Supreme National Security Council announced that it accepted the two-week ceasefire on the condition that the U.S. and Israel stop attacks on all fronts, which specifically includes Hezbollah in Lebanon. Shortly after the deal was announced, Iran warned that any continued attack on Lebanon would trigger a resumption of fighting on all fronts, directly threatening to collapse the ceasefire. That led to this escalation.
4) An Israeli source I talked to, said that the goal is to "use extreme military pressure to force Lebanon into a separate ceasefire on Israel’s terms." In other words, this is an escalation from the previous goal of the operation in Lebanon, designed to create a buffer zone.
5) Now there will be an attempt to force Lebanon into dismantling Hezbollah. Something they lack the technical or political ability to do. Targeting central Beirut infrastructure (Chiyah, Corniche al Mazraa) rather than just southern military outposts, Israel is attempting to make the cost of hosting Hezbollah so high that the Lebanese state, or its other sectarian factions is, forced into a civil confrontation with the group just to stop the bleeding.
6) Hezbollah is now in a position where if they don't respond, they look weakened; if they do respond, they risk being blamed for the collapse of the broader regional truce.
7) By striking immediately after the Iran deal, Israel is attempting to physically and politically "decouple" Hezbollah from its patron. If Iran stays quiet to preserve its own two-week reprieve while Beirut burns, it creates a massive psychological rift between Tehran and its "Jewel in the Crown" proxy. Israel is essentially betting that Iran values its own temporary safety over Hezbollah’s immediate survival.
8) This level of violence acts as a poison pill for international mediators like France or the U.S. who were pushing for a unified ceasefire. By creating facts on the ground (100+ targets in 10 minutes), Israel is making a return to the status quo ante impossible, ensuring that any future negotiations for Lebanon must start from a position of total Hezbollah degradation rather than a simple stop-fire.
Israel dragged the world into this war. It is now trying to make sure that the world cannot escape it. If Trump actually wants a ceasefire he will have to do something he has never had the balls to do. Stop Israel from destroying everything. History shows he won't.
¿Cuánto deben subir efectivamente los productos básicos por el alza de la bencina? ¿Algún experto habrá hecho el cálculo? Porque sabemos que, si por ejemplo (estoy inventando) el alza efectiva que debe tener un kg de pan es de $20, los sinvergüenzas de este país lo subirán $100.
"Quiebra":
Aunque un país no quiebra como una empresa, por último podría usarse el concepto si cae en cesación de pagos de su deuda (default).
En Chile, eso no ha pasado desde 1931.
Bajisimo riesgo país indica que el mercado tampoco lo cree probable.
La ignorancia es atrevida.
Breaking News: The U.S. was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people — was the result of a targeting mistake. https://t.co/88FIdIJOQi
Repito lo que dijeron varios colegas.
Si un ataque iraní hubiera matado a 160 niñas israelíes que estaban en clase, hoy todos los canales del mundo estarían hablando 24x7 del tema y sabríamos los nombres e historias de cada una de las asesinadas.
Como fue al revés, silencio.
Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.
