"Accept that Hezbollah is a separate issue from negotiations over Iran itself; or
Continue linking the two and risk further military escalation."
See post.
I agree.
My Two Cents/Shekels/Rials:
Some senior GCC figures believe the public disagreements between Trump and Netanyahu are largely political theater rather than evidence of a genuine strategic split.
According to this view, Trump became trapped during earlier negotiations when Iranian negotiators, with support from Pakistani mediators, insisted that any broader agreement include a ceasefire involving Hezbollah.
This effectively linked the Iranian nuclear and regional negotiations to Hezbollahās status and role in Lebanon.
From the Israeli and many GCC perspectives, this was problematic because it risked granting Hezbollah a degree of political and diplomatic legitimacy.
The central argument is that Hezbollah is not a sovereign state actor but an armed non-state organization that operates outside the authority of the Lebanese state.
Trumpās primary objectives were reportedly focused on issues such as:
Iranās nuclear program
Security in the Strait of Hormuz
Regional stability
Sanctions and frozen assets
As negotiations progressed, Hezbollah increasingly became intertwined with the broader Iran discussions, creating frustration among those who wanted the two tracks separated.
The emerging strategy, according to this interpretation, is to force a clear distinction between:
The āIran trackā (nuclear, sanctions, regional security)
The āLebanon/Hezbollah trackā (Israelās conflict with Hezbollah)
Under this logic, Israelās military actions against Hezbollah should be viewed as part of its conflict with Hezbollah rather than part of any broader U.S.-Iran negotiation.
If Iran chooses to intervene militarily in defense of Hezbollah, it does so by choice rather than necessity, thereby assuming responsibility for any escalation.
This approach allows Washington to argue:
āWe are negotiating with Iran regarding Iran.ā
āIsrael is dealing with Hezbollah.ā
āThe two issues should not automatically be linked.ā
Trump could then maintain that he attempted to restrain Israel but cannot dictate every Israeli military decision, particularly when Hezbollah remains engaged in hostilities.
In this interpretation, the recent escalation is not necessarily a collapse of diplomacy but rather part of a pressure campaign intended to force Tehran to accept the separation of the Iranian and Lebanese files.
The underlying message to Iran would be:
Accept that Hezbollah is a separate issue from negotiations over Iran itself; or
Continue linking the two and risk further military escalation.
The ultimate objective is to prevent any diplomatic outcome that implicitly recognizes or legitimizes Hezbollahās military role as an extension of Iranian regional influence.
Bottom line: This interpretation views the current tensions not as a breakdown in negotiations, but as a deliberate effort to decouple the Iran dossier from the Hezbollah dossier, forcing Tehran to choose whether it wants to negotiate on Iranās interests alone or continue tying its position to Hezbollahās fate.
"How dare Israel try to bolster its image!"
Gulf states, primarily Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar, conduct massive, multi-million-dollar influence and lobbying campaigns in the United States.
Gulf states use digital information warfare and massive PR networks to control the narrative abroad and promote regional agendas.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE have invested heavily in sports, entertainment, and global cultural acquisitions to rebrand their global image and distract from human rights criticisms. By hosting mega-events and investing in global football clubs and golf (e.g., LIV Golf), they successfully integrate into Western cultural and economic life.
But they will never complain about this, because they're part of the propaganda campaign.
@MJTruthUltra Iran has already said, the deal is off and that they will respond to š®š± accordingly
A deal is not possible as long as we're supplying š®š± with weapons and money.
If we cut that off.. a deal will happen fast and peace will probably be a normal thing in the middle east.
Telling Bibi not to respond to drone strikes on helpless civilians - I burn -BURN - remembering 12 10 year olds LOST TO DEATH playing soccer due to a strike from Hezbollah- is NOT PEACE.
Fox News:
āI just spoke with President Trump ā Trump says he asked Israeli PM Netanyahu "what the F*CK are you doing? ā he will ask Iran not to respond against Israeli strikes..ā
Trump believes a deal with Iran will be signed in the next 2-3 hours.

Remember
Trump plays 4d chess.
He has to be able to yell, act mad, while Bibi protects his people.
Trump has to "show" the irgc they can trust the deal.
MAGA means each country relies on itself.
Israel can too. Time to stop whining and keep fighting, like all the brave IDF.

The Memphis Safe Task Force has located 154 missing children. The Democrats who rule Memphis can't muster the courage or decency to thank President Trump. God bless you, Mr. President. And thank you to @MarshaBlackburn@BrentTaylorTN and @DavidKustoff for urging the president to take action.
@HillaryClinton
Maāam, I was the Air Force Lt. Colonel who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside that āpeopleās houseā youāre suddenly so precious about. I saw it all up close for two years.
While Bill was getting blow jobs in the Oval Office from an intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air Force One, you and your staff treated the military with open disdain, like we were the help, not the men and women sworn to protect this nation. The disrespect for anything non-Clinton was palpable.
You lecture about ārespect for the institutionā while your husband lost the nuclear codes and shrugged it off.
And when you finally slinked out in 2001? You and your crew trashed the placeāvandalism, theft, glue in drawers, obscene messages, stolen property, and filth left behind for the next administration. The GAO confirmed it. Classy exit from the āpeopleās house.ā
The White House belongs to the American people, not your grifting dynasty. They just elected a fighter who actually respects the military and the office. Keep ripping off poor kids in Haiti, selling your merch and clutching pearls.
Sit down, bitch. The adults are back in charge.
Americans deserve free, fair, and honest elections. Itās time to require an ID to vote and prevent non-citizens from voting.Ā
We need to pass the SAVE America Act.
Happy 251st Army Birthday š from a Grumpy Old Army Veteran, son of a WW II Army veteran. Also, Happy Flag Day, America! šŗšø The motto of the US Army is āThis Weāll Defend,ā and I will do so until my final breath. Steadfast and Loyal! #Army#FlagDay
This is:
The United States Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor, Stephen Miller:
āThe reason why those Americans in North Carolina, those mothers, those fathers, those precious little children, were left to die begging their government for help that never came is because the Democrats turned FEMA into an illegal alien resettlement agency.ā
Meaning:
The Democrats said FEMA had NO money and left fathers to die in Maui.
The Democrats said FEMA had NO money and left mothers to die in East Palestine, Ohio.
The Democrats said FEMA had NO money and left children to die in North Carolina.
BUT FEMA had an extra $1 BILLION to spend on illegals, including Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP, and voter registration.
And, as a bonus, they complain that Elon Musk is now a trillionaire.
There isnāt enough money on Godās green earth for me to guzzle Muslim Brotherhood and Russian Federation propaganda and parrot it back verbatim for clicks.
There also isnāt enough money on Godās green earth to convince me that a nation thatās the size of New Jersey and a people that make up .2% of the population are responsible for all my problems.
Happy Flag Day! This is The Flag I pledged my allegiance to 31 years ago when I became a U.S. citizen. I chose to give up my Chinese citizenship in order to become an American. This is the only flag that I am willing to die for. I am running for Congress to protect it!
At 65, Iām a man of contradictions.
Iām conservative, but gay.
Iām black, but I donāt obsess over slavery, racism, oppression, or reparations.
I donāt fit into any of their boxes.
I voted for Trump because he offered me more than any democrat has ever done.
He offered to love my country and make it GREAT AGAIN.
That's what I voted for.
Because Iām just an American who wants to see his country remain the best in the world.
And nothing Donald Trump has ever said made me afraid to vote for him.
If he could run again, Iād vote for him again.
Because letās be honest:
Heās a better president than any of the last 3 democrats weāve had, or whoever they crap out in 2028.
Is anybody with me on that?
