⚡️BREAKING: Reza Pahlavi admits to collaborating with Israel in order to provoke the Iran War

“The attack on Iran was the result of my visit to Israel two years ago”

[Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei @MKhamenei_ir]

What is definite is that these criminals must be seized by the collar and brought to justice for their criminal deeds.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran's IRGC announces it launched ballistic missiles and drones at eight US military targets, striking the US Fifth Fleet at Salman Port in Bahrain and the Ali Al Salem Base in Kuwait, "destroying them and decisively responding to recent US aggressions," per Tasnim.

The IRGC declares that the US strikes "violated Article 1 of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding" and "will result in a total halt of all processes."

The statement adds that from now on "violating vessels will be dealt with more strongly than in the past" and "will face a crushing response."

BREAKING: Iran is launching drones and missiles at US positions in Bahrain, with large explosions heard in Manama and air defenses activated minutes ago.

Ana Kasparian's attitude is the ONLY one you should have left at this point. Anything less is cowardice.

[العميد إبراهيم ذو الفقاري @Ibrahim_alFiqar]

You miscalculated, and our patience has run out... so prepare for a long, endless night.

Hezbollah are only considered "terrorists" to the invaders and occupiers currently attempting to annex land in their country.

Since Emily is part of that blood thirsty group, which is loathed across the globe, we should all expect a braindead post like this.

Bahrain whenever an Iranian drone attack targets a US base on its soil.

[Syed Abbas Araghchi Commentary @Araghchhi]

Lebanon and Israel have signed a US-sponsored framework agreement in Washington. Lebanon says it is a step towards restoring its sovereignty, but Netanyahu says Israeli forces will remain in a security zone in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah has rejected the deal.

@MrAdnanRashid Present and able ? adnan, If you're thousands of miles from me (not present) and incapable of properly reading/understanding Arabic (unable) , and I say "help me O Adnan, with this passage of juz Amma from the mushaf", is that shirk?

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Sold-out Lebanese authorities have given the green light to Israel to extend its invasion of the country’s south, validating its ethnic cleansing of Shia citizens

Behind them is Rubio, a pet project of the Israel lobby, delivering a hammer blow to the MOU, and shivving JD Vance

[Ana Kasparian @AnaKasparian]

This man is a disgrace.

[Nicolas Sawaya @sawaya_nicolas]

I read the Lebanese-Israeli framework agreement carefully (see comments for full text). I break it down, article by article, below (pay special attention to articles 2, 4, 8 and 9).

Overall, just a terrible, shameful agreement, especially when the far better alternative of leaning into the US-Iran MoU was available (and we haven't even seen the "security annex" yet, which I'm sure reflects even more sovereignty-enhancing measures for the Lebanese govt).

Preamble and Article 1:

In essence, Lebanon agrees to recognize Israel, to end the technical state of war between them (ongoing since 1948), and pledges to normalize relations through future agreements. Keep in mind that normalization is only supported by a small minority of the country, with overwhelming opposition to it.

Article 2:

The sequenced process referred to in this article is Hizb disarmament first before Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory (that this is envisioned to happen in stages or via "pilot zones" makes no difference, as the sequence remains the same: first disarmament then withdrawal from a particular territory). This of course won't happen short of civil war.

Instead of leaning into US-Iran MoU that demanded Israeli withdrawal tout cours, the Lebanese govt has essentially legitimized occupation by making Israeli withdrawal contingent on Hizb disarmament (so no disarmament = continued occupation). This is also contrary to international law, which doesn't sequence withdrawal from occupied territory on disarmament of resistance groups. The Lebanese govt is willfully and foolishly throwing away leverage, because "sovereignty" apparently.

Article 3:

This article explicitly conditions reconstruction of destroyed infrastructure and return of civilians to their homes in any area under occupation on disarmament of Hizb and "dismantlement of their infrastructure" (to be executed incrementally via "pilot zones"). It's unclear who is doing the disarming and dismantling and how (the IDF, the LAF, or both in unison), but this should become clearer upon publication of the security annex; but see article 4 below.

Article 4:

Makes clear that the onus is on the Lebanese govt to "achieve the complete and verified disarmament" of Hizb. Again, this won't happen short of civil war, which Israel has been trying to foment in Lebanon since the beginning of the war.

Article 5:

We're supposed to believe that Israel has "no territorial ambitions in Lebanon", when several Israeli ministers and lawmakers have insisted otherwise, and Israel has formally conditioned their withdrawal from Lebanese territory on Hizb disarmament by the Lebanese govt first, which they know cannot happen.

Article 6:

Lebanese govt explicitly calls Hizballah military activities illegal and outside of the Law. This reiterates the govt's previous position, but by virtue of stating it within this broader Lebanese-Israeli framework, reinforces the view that the Lebanese govt is aligned with Israel in eliminating Hizb (as an armed actor).

Article 7:

Iterates the "right to self-defense" for Lebanon and Israel. We all know what the "right to self defense" means for Israel. They invoked their right to "self-defense" to commit genocide in Gaza, and had the temerity to invoke their right to "self defense" when Hizb recently killed 4 Israeli soldiers advancing within occupied Lebanese land to justify bombing dozens of Lebanese towns.

Article 8:

Notice how subtle but dangerous this language is in this article. The Lebanese govt is essentially affirming that Hizb poses a threat to Lebanon or to citizens of Lebanon. They've essentially declared Hizb, not Israel, as the enemy. Where does that leave Hizb supporters, which constitute a large segment of the Lebanese population?

Article 9 and 10:

The Lebanese govt commits to a "performance-based program" to disarm Hizb and accepts that any new US assistance is contingent on achieving milestones. This, apparently, is "sovereignty" according to the Lebanese govt. They're on probation and graduate only according to US (and presumably Israeli) performance reviews, with reconstruction funds and economic aid being dangled as carrots. Utter humiliation.

Article 11:

Intent is to strangle Hizb financially, with the US govt working with the Lebanese govt to ensure that.

Article 12:

Commitment to comprehensive "peace" agreement, which I interpret as a normalization agreement, although not crystal clear from this article. If so, this will be rejected by vast majority of country.

Article 13:

Another example of Lebanese govt volunteering to throw away any leverage by, for e.g., forgoing the option to accept the ICC's jurisdiction to investigate Israeli war crimes or to file formal complaints and letters against Israel with the UNSC.

Article 14:

The obligatory reference to thanking DJT

/END.

🚨BREAKING: Lebanese Protesters Surround PM Nawaf Salam’s Office Calling Him A Zionist

There are demonstrations across Beirut against the government signing an agreement recognising Israel & permitting Israel to occupy the south.

[Syed Abbas Araghchi Commentary @Araghchhi]

Lebanon and Israel are currently signing an agreement overseen by Marco Rubio for a phased and partial Israeli withdrawal from some parts of the territory they occupy in Southern Lebanon, which they will hand over to the Lebanese army.

More details to come.

But remember, the only reason the Israelis will withdraw even an inch is because Iran demands it in their settlement with the U.S.

These talks are partly an attempt to undermine that and partly to take credit for something the Iranians forced.

[Yarub Ibn Qahtan @yarubibnqahtan]

Malala didn't say a single word about Israeli war crimes against women in West Asia over the past 3 years.

Go fuck yourself.
