Lebanese News and Updates

‘Dear noble people of the Islamic Iran: Your brave sons in the Naval and Aerospace Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, during a joint missile and drone operation at 02:00-03:00 AM, targeted eight important U.S. targets, including Ali Al-Salem Airbase in Kuwait and the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet HQ in Bahrain. The aggressor enemy, whose betrayal and violation of treaties are part of its nature, attacked early this morning five coastal sites in Iran under the pretext of confronting the IRGC Navy in response to seizing a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the Islamabad MoU, regarding traffic arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz with the Islamic Republic, from now on, ships that violate Iran’s instructions will be confronted with a greater force than before. Any potential new aggression by the enemy for any reason, even if it is similar to last night's attacks on unimportant targets, will have a devastating response. @Middle_East_Spectator

In response to yesterday's U.S aggression on Iran, the heroic and brave Iranians forces targeted the U.S bases in Kuwait and Bahrain

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Two strikes also took place on Qeshm Island @Middle_East_Spectator

Attacking Iranian soil should be treated as a very grave violation of sovereignty and treated very harshly Normalizing attacks on Iran is very catastrophic

Btw I just noticed they are talking about Zawtar al-Gharbieh (west) not the main Zawtar al-Sharqieh that is more important and connected to Maifadoun, Nabatieh and eventually Shqif and Kfartabnit / Ali al-Taher This is so funny that the IDF is not really withdrawing from anything at all. Zero. Nada Zawtar West is tiny and they didn't engage anything in it. Froun was never occupied.

It's us or them

—❗️🇮🇷 BREAKING: Iran’s Assembly of Experts has issued an unprecedented and important statement in support of the Supreme Leader, Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei In a critical letter to government officials, signed by 62 out of 86 members of the country’s highest clerical body, the Assembly calls upon the negotiators to respect the Leader’s red lines. The statement is as follows: 1. We urge that, considering the experiences of past damaging negotiations, the negotiators will be extremely careful of the tricks of the deceitful and evil enemy and pay attention to the fact that observing the Leader’s red lines is a religious obligation and violating them is not permissible under any circumstances. 2. We emphasize the need to pursue revenge for the martyrdom of our dear Leader, and that Trump and Netanyahu must face justice by any means necessary. 3. Any breach of the MoU must be responded to immediately. Therefore, considering the continuation of ceasefire breaches by the Zionist regime in Lebanon, and the failure to withdraw from the occupied territories, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz is contrary to the obligations of the officials and is considered a major strategic mistake, and will only embolden the enemy to continue its breach of the agreement. 4. We remind you again that according to the obligatory guidance of the Supreme Leader, the country's nuclear rights should not be discussed nor disputed, and should be completely excluded from the negotiations. 5. Establishing management over the Strait of Hormuz, receiving compensation for war damages, the release of frozen assets, lifting all sanctions, and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region are inviolable demands of the Supreme Leader and the people, and they must be pursued. Any negligence in this regard will be met with a fierce reaction of the nation. 6. Officials should avoid any statements that cause the enemy to become more arrogant and makes the country appear weak and helpless. Especially since the resistance of our self-sacrificing warriors has driven the arrogant America to despair, no statements should be made that suggests the country’s weakness or helplessness. 7. Everyone, especially the esteemed government officials, knows that in the system of Wilayat Al-Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist), the opinion and perspective of the Leader is the final word, and when informed of his definitive opinion, no official can or should act contrary to his opinion. 8. Based on all evidence, the enemy is merely seeking an opportunity to deploy additional forces and buy time for some matters, including the upcoming Midterm elections. After that, there will be a high probability of a new attack, and the issues raised in the MoU should be resolved within the stipulated 30-day and 60-day deadlines. 9. We ask the dear nation to continue their steadfast presence on the streets, and while preserving sacred unity and avoiding any action that disrupts this unity, they should not pay attention to the divisive words of some ignorant people who seek to limit this divine mission. The presence of the people is essential and decisive as long as the Supreme Leader deems it necessary. 10. The Asssembly of Experts, as humble servants and part of the people, will remain with the esteemed Leadership and the entire nation, while wishing success to the respected government officials, awaiting the fulfillment of the conditions and promises, and will fulfill their religious duty when necessary. @Middle_East_Spectator

He didn't dare talk so until Aoun submitted and surrendered Netanyahu speaks today as a the new leader of Lebanon

Netanyahu:

Who cares? Whether it's a political graveyard or not, I will do whatever is necessary to ensure the security and victory of the State of Israel. If we need to enter Lebanon, we will enter Lebanon. If we need to operate there with overwhelming force, we will do it.

❗️Froun Municipality: "Our town is not occupied and is located outside the yellow line; its inclusion in the experimental zones is baseless and won't be acceptable."

You cannot join a war you asked for and then fought in alongside the U.S and then ask to not be part of how the war ends. It doesn't work like this and you'll see.

Mannie is like the fuckdoll of the Israeli army spokesman unit A man of no integrity and worth, whose whole career and channel is an English translation of Israeli army statements. I hate this British Twink And what withdrawal if the whole two red areas is out of the imaginary yellow zone and areas that the IDF does not control?

Netanyahu: There is no place for two states between the sea and the Jordan River.

Thank you also Netanayhu for explicitly taking credit for violating the ceasefire and telling us the Israeli army statement was false. The Hezbullah fighters were far from the yellow line, not an immediate threat and not in the process to attack. You killed because you could. Thank you https://t.me/manniefabian/58686

Very happy about these statements This is to tell you that Aoun and Nawaf didn't sign a mutual agreement, they signed a surrender And they will not dare acknowledge it. Israeli thrives on war. It was Palestinians then it was Hezbullah. What's next? The Jihadist elements who are part of the Lebanese National Army. Aka the Shia and lesser Sunnis

Netanyahu says Israel kills Hezbollah fighters even before being fired upon:

Yesterday there was a threat much farther away from our soldiers—not at immediate range. They saw seven terrorists entering a house. They hadn't fired yet, and they hadn't yet organized themselves. But that house was destroyed, and those seven terrorists were eliminated.

Netanyahu on Lebanon's Army:

The Lebanese Armed Forces need to make changes within themselves. There are also jihadists inside that army. The Lebanese government knows it has to deal with this too. We will of course test this in practice.

Netanyahu:

The Lebanese government still has more work to do, and it has already begun to act. That is no small thing. The very signing of this agreement is an extremely courageous step, because for the first time in decades they are essentially telling Hezbollah, and they are telling Iran: "Get out of here. We are making peace with Israel. Whether you like it or not, we want to make peace with the State of Israel." And I want to tell you that we have heard support for this among Lebanon's Christian public, among the Druze public, among the Muslim public—even among some Shiites.

Netanyahu on anti-drone solutions: We still haven't finished. We have more work to do — especially against the global problem of explosive drones — and in this too, we will be the first in the world to deliver a solution.
