TLDR:

The Iranian-American understanding, which included Lebanon, did not include Gaza due to multiple factors. Hamas, which governs Gaza, has different relations with Iran than Hezbollah and did not seek Iranian mediation during the Gaza war. Additionally, Israel and the U.S. have consistently excluded Iran from Gaza-related negotiations, promoting separate tracks involving Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey. Including Gaza in the agreement could also have alienated regional states that support Hamas and fueled accusations that Iran is using the issue for leverage. Moreover, from a negotiation standpoint, introducing Gaza at this stage could have jeopardized the entire process, as it is a non-negotiable red line for Israel and the U.S. While Gaza is not included, Iran's support for the broader resistance in Lebanon is seen as indirectly benefiting the Palestinian cause in the long run.

🇱🇧 Sheikh Naim Qassim:

I will talk about four factors regarding the immortality of Hussein (peace be upon him) and about this ongoing commemoration that we perform.

- Karbala is the greatest event in history in which the leader, his family, and his companions were martyred.

- The incident of Karbala is an expression of sacrifice and selflessness, and the giving of blood for the sake of God Almighty for the elevation of the nation.

🇮🇷🇱🇧🇺🇸 After unconfirmed reports suggested that Iran has canceled its signing of the memorandum of understanding on Friday due to the attacks on Lebanon, a source close to the Iranian negotiating team:

The negotiating team's trip to Switzerland on Friday has not been canceled, but the details of the arrangements for signing the memorandum of understanding are still under discussion, and no final agreement has been reached on how the agreement will be signed.

🇱🇧🇮🇱 Israeli Army Radio Correspondent:

Details of the incident in which 5 Israeli soldiers were injured this morning – and we remind again: during the "ceasefire":

- At around 6:00 a.m., an explosive-laden drone detonated near a tank belonging to the Givati Brigade combat team in the Kfar Tibnit area of southern Lebanon.

- As a result of the explosion’s shrapnel, four soldiers were injured and were airlifted to hospital for further medical treatment.

- A few minutes later, another explosive-laden drone exploded over the evacuation vehicle. As a result, an additional Israeli soldier was injured and was also airlifted.

- The Israeli army forces responded with artillery shelling.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump’s Vice President:

In short, what this agreement does is that it immediately opens the Strait of Hormuz. That’s why you’re seeing oil prices drop into the seventies... It also provides a framework so that if the Iranians give us what we need—in terms of stopping the funding of terrorism and not seeking to acquire a nuclear weapon—they can receive some benefits and be reintegrated into the global economy.

🇱🇧 Sheikh Naim Qassim:

Today, we commemorate Ashura at the shrine of the Master of the Martyrs of the Nation, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, seeking blessings from this great place, for he is present in these commemorations as the inspiration, builder, and founder.

This year, we have declared a slogan to follow: "Hussain is our path."

Hussain is a clear path and way; clarity is uprightness, certainty, light, illumination, and guidance. Therefore, Hussain is our path and our straight way.

🇱🇧🇮🇱 Statement issued by Hezbollah regarding the burning of two mosques north of Ramallah by Zionist settlers:

Hezbollah strongly condemns the burning of two mosques north of Ramallah by Zionist settlers, in a serious terrorist attack targeting houses of worship and violating all international laws and conventions that guarantee freedom of worship and the protection of religious sites. This act reveals the depth of extremism and hatred rooted within the occupation entity and settler gangs.

The coincidence of this criminal attack with the beginning of the Hijri year, and the values and meanings this date holds for Muslims, is evidence of the Zionist enemy’s insistence on provoking the feelings of Muslims and attacking their holy sites and religious symbols. It also confirms the continuation of a systematic policy of desecration targeting mosques, churches, and all Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied Palestine and Lebanon.

Hezbollah affirms that all these heinous terrorist crimes will not deter the Palestinian people from holding onto their land and holy sites and defending them, no matter how great the sacrifices. It calls on the international community and human rights and humanitarian organizations to shoulder their responsibilities regarding these repeated attacks. Hezbollah also calls on Arab and Islamic countries and peoples to unite their efforts to confront this cancerous tumor that is ravaging our region and peoples and targeting our holy sites.

I will be doing a Press Conference in 45 minutes from France. I'll then be heading to Versailles for Dinner with French and other European Leaders, and then back home tonight! The trip was a Great Success but, mostly what people wanted to talk about, is the fact that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon, and that the Strait of Hormuz will immediately be opened! Great Numbers in all categories for the United States Economy with more people working today than have ever worked before. Over 19.1 Trillion being invested in the U.S.A. with Factories and everything else happening but, importantly, recent Stock Market numbers are through the roof because of the settlement and, likewise, Oil Prices are tumbling down!

🇮🇷/🇮🇱 After the Israeli attack on the Beirut, Lebanon and the subsequent Iranian response to Israel, conflicting reports emerged indicating that one of the Iranian strikes targeting the Ramat David airbase north of occupied Palestine hit a facility associated with the Israeli Air Force's 157th Squadron.

- This squadron is known for operating secret drones dedicated to electronic warfare, jamming, and electronic reconnaissance, making it one of the most sensitive units within the base due to its role in supporting air operations, gathering intelligence, and disrupting adversaries' electronic systems.

- According to these reports, targeting the facility associated with the 157th Squadron could represent a blow to Israel's electronic warfare capabilities, given the specialized nature of the tasks carried out by this unit.

Although Iran launches of retaliatory missiles and drones were in the low numbers -perhaps 20-25- they must have hurt for the infamous foul mouthed pedophile to get so worked up.
The impact of Iranian strikes on Jordan's Mwafaq al-Salti are the ones that the Pentagon propaganda machine is most actively trying to keep a lid on.
