Reporter: If these talks go well and you reach a ceasefire agreement with Iran, do you believe Israel would abide by that agreement?

Trump: I think Israel will be very happy with what we have. I think they will be very happy.

Reporter: How are you going to get the enriched uranium?

Trump: It’s very easy—if we have a deal, we will go and take it ourselves.

Trump on Iranian oil:

I just want to have as much oil in the system as possible. We don’t even know if Iran gets that money.

Any small amount of money Iran gets is not going to make a difference in this war.

Reporter: If you end up hitting Iranian power plants, how is that different from what Russia is doing in Ukraine?

Trump: I think it’s a lot different... I’m not a fan of what Russia is doing either, just so you understand, but it’s a lot different.

Reporter: If you obliterated their nuclear sites last summer, then how can you argue it was an imminent threat now?

Trump: We obliterated them. But that doesn’t mean with the right equipment you can’t dig down and go get it. We don’t want that.

Trump on a possible deal with Iran:

There are many points of agreement with Iran right now like 15 points.

They’re not going to have a nuclear weapon—that’s number one. That’s number one, two, and three.

They will never have a nuclear weapon—they’ve agreed to that.

Trump on The Strait of Hormuz:

It will be jointly controlled, and maybe controlled by me and the Ayatollah.

✍ From complete surrender to please let's work together Mr Ayatollah. Funny is, Iran never has full control of the strait. It's not a canal that passes through Iran

Trump on Iran:

Everybody’s been killed from the regime. They’re really starting off. There’s automatically a regime change, but we’re dealing with some people that I find to be very reasonable, very solid.

The people within know who they are. They’re very respected, and maybe one of them will be exactly what we’re looking for.

✍️ Regime change. Like changing Taliban with Taliban in Afghanistan. You only achieved a tamer version.

A deal should happen and compromise should take place (stop enrichment for x number of years and monitoring, etc), however, Iran should have sanction relief of oil exportd and other economic relief

War ending in Lebanon should be a part of this deal.

Else? The war will end with a system that will shuffle itself to its self demise alone.

Okay bro, I heard the war front you are serving on in south Lebanon or Tehran is heavyweight and harsh but you're doing great

Getting a medal soon too mashallah. Keep going and don't stop.

Anyways clown

Compromise is not submission, and limitations are only human.

Survivability of the regime is far more important than stupid enrichment.

Don't tell me they will ask about the ballistic missiles if we agree on nuclear enrichment! They already came knocking with bombs. It's all already fleshed out.

Years old calm under sanction relief can help offset the tremendous damages caused and allow fo rebuild a better fighting force. Delusional is anyone who would think a clear win is the same as failing the enemy's objective.

A loss of them is not a win for you

Islam has given you 3 clear examples in life, aside from the exceptions where God himself saw humans are fit for miraculous victory

- You fight to win when you have strength
- You make a deal when weak until you are strong enough to detter an enemy
- You fight until you die, if death was the only option when the other is humiliation or surrender

From Badr's example of Uhud, from Dudayba to Fateh Mecca, then from Sefen to Imam Hassan's treaty with Mua'weya, and then to Imam Hussein's martyrdom

From miracle victory to mishaps, from a pace of calm with the pagans to complete victory. From a bitter poison deal to martyrdom and oppression.

Each phase illustrates, the different needs and conditions of different times.

Had Muhammad not done that deal Islam would have been lost. Had Ali confronted Omar Islam would have been lost. Had Hussien not fight until death Islam would have been lost.

This is me speaking religiously. Military wise, it is even more important.

For god's sake literally 15 months ago, Hezbullah gave us all an example too. 15 painful months of being silent being attacked, killed and damaged to only buy time to rebuild what was severely damaged back into a force similar to 2006-2008 capable to fending off a vicious evil enemy

Hezbullah of 2023 is not that of today, and the mishaps it faced costed it decades of advancements that changed its level of threat towards Israel down from existential.

I didn't even imply Iran will accept the deal or this is what's being offered.

Iran's staunch insistence on ensuring a victory back in the 1980's made it reject 3-4 ceasefires with the Baathist regime of Saddam

All I'm saying..idk and idc if I explained it as clearly as I should, ensuring the survivability of the regime intact is far more important than other things and ensuring the regime has the means for rebuilding its institutions and economy is the only way to ensure the system can survive and not collapse due to economic issues.

The U.S is not going anywhere and to continue to fight Israel or be a foe against it to ensure the whole Muslim world doesn't fully (is already mostly) complicit with it..you have to work with the circumstances.

Military wise..I won't discuss..no one wants to actually understand

🇮🇹🇩🇿 Italy turns to Algeria as Qatar unable to deliver gas

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is set to visit Algeria this week as Rome seeks to lock in alternative gas sources following extended disruptions to Qatari deliveries. Her office confirmed she will arrive in Algiers on Wednesday, though no detailed itinerary was provided.

Energy Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin stated on Friday that Algeria is among the countries Italy is actively negotiating with to shore up its gas supply, after Iranian strikes on Qatar appeared to have knocked out its exports for the foreseeable future. He added that Italian state-owned energy firms are in discussions with suppliers from Algeria, the US, and Azerbaijan to boost incoming gas volumes, with the government working to facilitate those efforts.

Qatar had previously supplied around 10% of Italy's gas demand, but in the wake of the war in West Asia, it informed Italian customer Edison that it "would not be able to fulfil its contractual obligations for April."

Hazmieh mayor says they might kick out all displaced Lebanese from the area, after today's incident

Several towns and neighborhoods around Lebanon did such actions, even though people have paid rent and were not there hosted for free.

Damage is in the apartment is minimal, with no structural damages (so likely no GBUs involved)

Reports indicate one Martyr so far.

Reports indicate two Hezbullah members have been captured in south Lebanon in one of the front line towns

Flag was up again, seems to have been removed that day

The mosque my miniature was demolished by the Israeli soldiers

Apartment was rented by the wife of the martyr a few months ago.

Below is a report by Lebanese media:

Target was Mohammad Ali Kourani in the Hazmieh area.

Kourani is the same person Israel had previously tried to assassinate.

Today, he arrived at the apartment about two hours before the assassination attempt, accompanied by his wife and son, and went inside to sleep before the location was targeted.

His wife and son escaped the attack unharmed.

Kourani had survived a similar assassination attempt weeks earlier when the Israeli army targeted the Comfort Hotel where he was staying.

He had left the hotel minutes before the airstrike, which prevented him from being injured.

The latest airstrike on the city of Bint Jbeil targeted the Women’s Husseiniya building in the main market.

Various other Israeli airstrikes targeted:
- A'dcheet
- Henieh and Mansoureh
- Beit leaf and Qawzah

A dozen or so other towns were attacked with artillery, in both the western and Eastern sectors

Hezbullah issued more than 40 statements today detailing reports about suicide drone and rockets launches targeting:

- A set of Israeli settlements
- Israeli border bases in Israel and Lebanon
- Israeli army gathering and areas of advances from Naqoura, Khiyam, Taybeh and other areas

No recent reports about any ATGMs attacks,FPVs nor clashes.

Seems that the photo a few days ago was from the incident where two Hezbullah fighters were captured

They are allegedly from Beqaa, in a vantage point for ATGMs, which should not be directly in the line of fire of ground Israeli forces unless they were very close to the border area trying to reach Israeli settlements

The house was demolished, so it'll likely be geolocated.

May God be with them in this harsh period
