โ—๏ธBREAKING: Lebanon has asked the Trump Administration to broker direct peace talks with Israel, per Axios.

Israeli media confirmed that Lebanon asked for peace negotiations with Israel to end the conflict once and for all.

Lebanon also contacted Barak, who made fun of Lebanese officials.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑl๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง Channel 12 (Hebrew):

Last week, the Lebanese government contacted US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack and asked him to mediate direct negotiations with Israel through the Trump administration to end the war and reach an agreement, according to a US official, an Israeli official, and three sources with direct knowledge of the matter.

Barrack's response was sharp: "Stop the nonsense. Without disarming Hezbullah, nothing is negotiable."

The sources say the Israeli government rejected the initiative outright, indicating that it was too late. Its focus is now on eliminating Hezbollah.

With Washington showing no interest in mediation and Israel determined to seize the moment to dismantle Hezbollah, a large-scale escalation appears increasingly likely.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Assessment in Israel: Internal conflict in Lebanon is imminent, increasing likelihood of armed conflict between Hezbullah and the Lebanese army.

"Friction is increasing between Hezbullah and the Lebanese army in several areas.

They also add that the Lebanese army is currently afraid of a conflict, but it may be inevitable, senior Israeli officials claim"

Highlights from the speech of MP Mohammad Raad, head of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc:

- For a year and five consecutive months, we fully adhered to the ceasefire with the enemy, in implementation of an agreement concluded by the state in our country with the Zionist enemy.

- The Zionist invaders did not abide by that agreement for even a single day, and many colluded with them, exploiting our commitment to kill, betray, bomb, bulldoze, and advance into some of our villages, destroying their homes and shops.

- The Lebanese government lacked the power or the means to confront the enemy's violations, nor to utilize its purported international friendships to pressure the Israelis to cease their violations and incursions into Lebanon's airspace, land, and sea.
๐Ÿซก69๐Ÿ‘14๐Ÿ‘Ž14๐Ÿคฌ5๐Ÿ‘€1
- The Lebanese government could only justify its blatant inability to repel Israeli aggression by hiding behind its agreement and compliance with the long-standing Israeli demand and dream of disarming the resistance, claiming to everyone that implementing this measure would compel the enemy to accept a cessation of its attacks.

- While we strongly and consistently reject the government's decision  The sin committed on August 5, 2025, regarding the monopoly of arms and the obligation of our Lebanese army to implement it

- It has become clear that the government's response to the enemy's pretext of disarming the resistance has emboldened the Zionist enemy and encouraged it to raise other pretexts.
๐Ÿซก56๐Ÿ‘Ž14๐Ÿ‘10๐Ÿ‘€3๐Ÿคฌ2
- The Zionist enemy has not ceased its violations of Lebanese sovereignty by air, land, and sea, nor has it stopped targeting the youth of the occupied towns and villages

- We have warned over the past fifteen months that our patience with the enemy's aggression has limits and is not unlimited, yet no one has taken any action to stop the escalating Zionist aggression.

- Shortly before the beginning of March, the enemy decided to call up an additional reserve of 100,000 Zionist troops. The only clear objective of this call-up was to prepare for an attack on Lebanon once readiness was complete.

- The resistance's launch of a barrage of missiles against the Zionist enemy, following its assassination of a prominent Shiite religious leaderโ€”an act condemned by all free and honorable people in the worldโ€”was a clear signal.  The Lebanese resistance fighters, along with their people, have reached their limit of patience with the arrogance and aggression of the Zionist occupiers.
๐Ÿซก79๐Ÿ‘Ž17๐Ÿ‘9๐Ÿคฌ2
We, as resistance fighters, will not hesitate to confront and resist them with all available means and capabilities.

We will fight them tooth and nail until we expel them from our land with our resolve, steadfastness, and will.

Contrary to what some have spread and incited, the resistance did not hasten the Zionist aggression against Lebanon. Rather, it preemptively warned of its dangers and deprived them of the element of surprise.

The resistance  - There is no deterrent to aggression except resistance and steadfastness.

The victim of aggression has a legitimate right to resist, even if they lack the capability, and they have a duty to defend themselves with whatever means they have.

- Lebanon today is not faced with a choice between war and peace, as some claim, but rather a choice between war and surrender to the humiliating conditions the enemy seeks to impose on the government, which is aware of this and actively pursuing it.
๐Ÿซก71๐Ÿ‘Ž12๐Ÿ‘7๐Ÿคฌ2
- We in the resistance know that you are people of honor and faith, people of patriotism, pride, and dignity, and that you reject humiliation, degradation, and surrender.

We have no choice but to rely on God and defend our existence, whatever the cost.

- Our goal is clear and specific:

1- to expel the enemy from our occupied land, to stop its attacks and violations by air, sea, and land

2- to liberate the prisoners and return them to their families

3- to stop the targeting of our people and their security

4- to ensure the return of residents to their villages and the reconstruction of their towns and homes

(These are Hezbullah's goals).

๐Ÿ“ˆ The S&P 500 erased all losses incurred since Trump started the war with Iran after Trump's recent statement that the war with Iran is "near completed".
This is market manipulation. Same thing will happen to Gas and Fuel

This is why Hormoz has to stay closed or else everyone will lose interest in the war except the Israeli and American Air force that will bomb without any worthy media coverage

As expected... manipulation

They will be successful if they can reopen Hormoz. Else, this will blowup badly for them
