So we just accepted you're going to have to give us a few hours on this and that the U.S.
essentially was willing to look the other way on that and go, OK, fine, let's get the ceasefire going.
But if you remember, so essentially what's happened already, already since this since this ceasefire has been announced, is that Israel immediately afterward.
Like we saw the same exact movie play out last summer.
But Israel immediately after the ceasefire is announced, they just launch their biggest offensive in in months on southern Lebanon.
So there, or at least in weeks, at least like six weeks.
So it's like their biggest, their biggest bombing campaign.
And then of course around points out, Hey, this was part of the ceasefire.
I mean, now, technically, was it part of the ceasefire?
They don't actually have a written ceasefire agreement.
So technically, it's kind of a gray area.
Donald Trump said we agree to the 10 point plan in principle, but he didn't exactly say we agree to every goddamn plank of it.
He kind of just said that's a good place to start negotiating, which is an overwhelmingly strong place for the Iranians.
But from the Iranian perspective, they go, hey, one of those planks is that Israel's also got to stop attacking Lebanon.
And they're still attacking Lebanon.
And so then the Israelis come out and go, no, Lebanon's not part of the ceasefire.
