๐บ๐ธ๐ต๐ฐ CONFIRMED! The White House reviewed and approved a social media post by Pakistanโs prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, which explicitly stated that Lebanon was part of the ceasefire agreement.
However, after Israel bombed Lebanon, the Trump administration backtracked, claiming that Lebanon had not been included in the deal.

Sea Change: 'Very Unfavorable' Views of Israel Triple Among US Adults
Amid a major war on Iran waged in partnership with the United States, Israel's reputation among Americans has continued to deteriorate, with 60% of US adults viewing Israel unfavorably. That's a hefty 18-point increase from 2022, according to a new survey from Pew Research. Over the same stretch, Israel's "favorable" share cratered by 18 points.
While the top-line unfavorable rating is bad news for Israel, things are even worse when you look under the hood: The proportion of Americans who have a very unfavorable view of Israel now stands at 28% -- triple what it was in 2022.
Alongside his country's sagging standing with the US public, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also increasingly unpopular, as 59% of American adults have little or no trust that he will "do the right thing regarding world affairs," also a seven-point worsening from last year's finding.
Pew conducted the survey during the week of March 23-29, roughly a month into the US-Israeli war on Iran, but a few weeks before this week's brinksmanship --which had many fearing a years-long global economic catastrophe if President Trump followed through on his threats to eradicate Iran's "whole civilization" and Iran carried out its promised destruction of energy and water infrastructure around the Persian Gulf.
There continue to be significant differences between Americans who associate themselves with the Democratic Party and those who are Republicans or Republican "leaners." A whopping 80% of Democrats have an unfavorable or very unfavorable view of Israel, almost doubling the 41% of Republicans who feel that way. In what may be the most significant sub-trend in US-Israeli politics, a solid 57% majority of Republicans under age 50 now have a negative view of Israel. Unless that turns around, this suggests that the GOP's status as a fortress of Israeli support will soon be a thing of the past.

Joe Kent was right.
You may want to listen to the guy with more experience than the rest of the cabinet.
He provides the answer sheet, all you have to do is copy it.

LEBANON TALKS:
The lying War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel is seeking "to open direct negotiations with Lebanon as soon as possible," even as the Israeli military issued fresh evacuation orders for Beirut.
Trump asked Netanyahu in a phone call yesterday to scale back the strikes to help ensure the success of the Iran negotiations, a senior administration official said.

CEASEFIRE UNDER THREAT:
The truce between the United States and Iran was in doubt this morning following Israel's deadly new attacks on Lebanon. Iran said the strikes, which killed hundreds, were a "grave violation" of the deal and warned of "strong responses."
America and Israel insisted Lebanon was not included in the ceasefire, though mediator Pakistan says it was.

If the pragmatists are the dominant faction in Iran,
which I think they are,
then this whole Lebanon inclusion/exclusion ambiguity as part of the ceasefire is a very straight forward analysis.
The pragmatists do not need Lebanon in the ceasefire to protect Hezbollah.
It's the opposite.
They need Hezbollah locked in attrition with Israel.
Your dominant strategy as a pragmatist, is about ending the war, getting sanctions relief, unfreezing assets, reopening oil exports, and rebuilding.
Hezbollah is not an asset to protect in that equation.
Hezbollah is a liability to manage and eventually a card to play.
So what was Iran actually doing when they insisted Lebanon be included?
Simple.
If Lebanon is in the ceasefire text, Iran walks into Saturday's talks with a chip it can offer to give up in exchange for something it actually cares about,
like sanctions relief or enrichment rights or asset unfreezing or reconstruction compensation.
You do not put something in an agreement because you plan to die on that hill.
You put it in because you plan to trade it.
The pragmatists wanted Lebanon on the table so they could take it off the table at a price.
๐ฃ This also explains why Iran's response to the massive Israeli strikes on Lebanon has been loud but calibrated.
Oil tankers were "suspended" from passing through Hormuz. Everything was said except the fact that Iran was withdrawing from the ceasefire.
Every Iranian statement has left the door open.
That is not the behavior of a state that has been genuinely blindsided and is about to escalate.
๐
That is the behavior of a faction that expected something like this, is publicly outraged for optics purposes, and is now waiting to see what price the outrage fetches.
The pragmatists need this war to end quickly, and they need it to end with a deal they can present as a victory for the Iranian state, not for the resistance axis.
Hezbollah getting hit hard in Lebanon actually serves the pragmatist agenda in a perverse way.
If Hezbollah is degraded by Israel during the ceasefire period, the pragmatists do not have to do the politically costly work of sidelining it themselves.
Israel does it for them.

ZOG is going to sacrifice people for this failure. At the head of the line is Pete Hegseth, whose entire existence screams "fall guy"... which he probably doesn't mind. He'll just go back to the private sector and be rich. Rubio is on the line... that NYT article was obviously trying to salvage him. They are desperate to preserve Vance, otherwise this war wipes out everyone on the Right except Tucker Carlson.
What is most interesting to me is what will happen with Trump himself. The Jews may just turn on him after this. They may turn on Netanyahu as well, blaming him for this disaster. I wonder if we might finally see the Epstein blackmail stuff revealed, just to punish Trump for his failure.
World Jewry is not an autocracy, it's a collective, and they are certainly willing to cut off any rotten branches to keep the evil tree growing. They also have zero loyalty to their goyish pawns.

โด IRGC wants ships to pass near Iranian island, Tasnim reports
โก๏ธ Traffic well below 10% of normal volumes
๐ข Oil crisis worsens as fifth of global supply still disrupted
Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz stood at well below 10% of normal volumes on Thursday โdespite a U.S.-Iran ceasefire as Tehran asserted its control by warning ships to keep to its territorial waters while doing so.
Hundreds of tankers โand other ships have been stuck inside the Gulf since the Iran war began on Feb 28, cutting global oil supply by 20% in the world's biggest-ever supply disruption.
Prices for some physical oil grades hit fresh all-time highs on Thursday as the crisis showed little signs of abating.
Iran must open the strait without conditions, the CEO of UAE state oil giant ADNOC said on Thursday.
Just seven ships had passed through โthe strait in the past 24 hours versus about 140 normally, ship-tracking data showed.
They included one oil products tanker and six dry bulk carriers, data โfrom Kpler, Lloydโs List Intelligence and Signal Ocean showed.
A chemical tanker was set to cross destined for India, ship-tracking data on the โ MarineTraffic and Pole Star Global platforms showed.
"Most shipping lines are likely to remain cautious, and two weeks will not be enough to clear the backlog even if there โis a marked increase in traffic," said Torbjorn Soltvedt at risk intelligence company Verisk Maplecroft.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have told vessels to sail through Iranian waters around Larak โIsland to avoid the risk of naval mines in the usual lanes through the strait, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Thursday.
