This is from Saeed Arachi.

And this comes...

So, we again...

We'll almost certainly tomorrow have some video of just absolutely apocalyptic scenes out of Beirut as Israel's military will pound the country of Lebanon.

Remember, this is strikes that are happening in the capital while Israeli forces continue to advance farther and farther

into the country with their own stated goal of never leaving a serious portion and effectively taking over half of the country.

This continues as there were more than 50 attacks, actually, in northern Israel as of this morning from Hezbollah.

So it does seem...

Look, this has been a low-grade conflict, Crystal, has been happening the entire time of the ceasefire, but it is becoming clearer and clearer.

Israel will not stop its advancement into Lebanon and that the ceasefire talks between the Israeli government and the Lebanese government, which even then exclude Hezbollah, themselves do not even appear to be progressing, which is endangering the entire framework or any hope of such framework as of this morning.

Yeah, that's absolutely right.

And we've known this from the beginning.

I mean, Iran has consistently stated that they are looking for a ceasefire and an end to hostilities on all fronts.

They have focused on Lebanon from the very beginning.

Remember when Trump announced that he had accepted as a basis for negotiations the Iranian 10-point plan?

It was made very clear in that process.

that Lebanon was considered essential to moving forward.

And the Iranians have not backed off of this whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Trump has effectively given Israel the green light to go forward with this after at one point saying that they must stop and demanding that on True Social.

Since then, he has now effectively given them the green light to continue to bomb and attack within Lebanon.
