Ceasing fire, self-defense also, by the way.
Look, we have no idea what happened.
What we do know is that on the heels of some alleged agreement, there's a couple of signs where things are falling apart.
First is, let's take the U.S.
at its word, even on its face, which is that these boats were laying mines in the Straits of Hormuz.
Well, that's not really something that you would be doing if you were on the verge of some sort of imminent ceasefire and a reopening of the Straits of Hormuz.
Second is that U.S.
fighter jets not only went after these boats, but they also targeted missile launch sites that are on the coast that were responding to some of these U.S.
forces.
It shows the heavy level of U.S.
military involvement that remains interesting.
in the Strait as a deal is supposedly closed.
Now, the second part of this, which I think is very important, let's put A3B, please, up here on the screen.
But Israel has now struck a number of strikes.
It has now struck a number of targets in Lebanon as of yesterday.
This came on the heels of an announcement from the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
that they were going to facilitate their, quote, defensive strikes against Hezbollah.
The reason why all of this matters together is that the ceasefire on its face is supposed to apply to Lebanon as it was previously, Israel obviously, and Hezbollah did not abide by that.
After the initial ceasefire happened, they're continuing to be firing all along the line.
Now it's happening again.
