We set out for Operation Roaring Lion to severely damage the Iranian terror regime and remove existential threats to Israel over time.

We significantly struck all of its systems and capabilities, eliminated its leadership, damaged its command and control systems, eliminated many of its commanders, and severely hit its military industries, ballistic missile array, economic targets, and nuclear targets.

In Lebanon, we are not stopping for a moment.

We continue to act and engage Hezbollah everywhere we can.

Today, we delivered the biggest blow to Hezbollah since the start of Operation Rising Line.

Hezbollah is using the people of Lebanon as human shields.

We will continue to strike them and hunt them down in every moment. Even now, the ground offensive in southern Lebanon continues.

The region south of the Litani River has been disconnected from Lebanon, and we are working to remove Hezbollah from this area.

But this does not go without heavy costs.

One source said, "At this rate, there will be another one. In the end, the United States is above us, and that’s part of the rules,” while another warned that needing to strike Iran again within a few years would be “a major mishap.”

An Israeli source told Kan News, "The ceasefire was forced on us,” adding that once it became clear it would happen, Israel asked President Trump to separate Lebanon from the deal—“and it happened.”

The deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments a pattern that has regrettably been repeated once again.

As the President of the United States has clearly stated in his Truth, the Islamic Republic of Iran's 10-Point Proposal is a "workable basis on which to negotiate" and the main framework for these talks.

3 clauses of the 10-Point Proposal have been violated so far:

1: Non-compliance with the first clause of the 10-Point Proposal regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon a commitment that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also explicitly referred to and declared as "an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and other regions, effective immediately";

2: The entry of an intruding drone into Iran airspace, which was destroyed in the city of Lar in Fars Province, in clear violation of the clause prohibiting any further violation of Iran airspace;

3: Denial of Iran's right to enrichment, which was included in sixth clause of the framework.

Now, the very "workable basis on which to negotiate" has been openly and clearly violated, even before the negotiations began.

In such situation, a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations is unreasonable.

Just today, Netanyahu launches his harshest attack against Lebanon since the offensive began.

His contempt for life and international law is intolerable.

It's time to speak clearly:
- Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire.
- The international community must condemn this new violation of international law.
- The European Union must suspend its Association Agreement with Israel.
- And there must be no impunity for these criminal acts.

We've already seen an increase in traffic today. Hopefully, we'll see an increase in traffic tomorrow.

We actually think that we are seeing signs that the Straits are starting to reopen.

The deal is a ceasefire, a negotiation — that's what we give. And what they give is the Straits are going to be reopened.

If we don't see that happening, President Trump is not going to abide by our terms if the Iranians are not abiding by their terms.

I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding.

I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn't — we never made that promise. We never indicated that was going to be the case.

What we said is that the ceasefire would be focused on Iran and the ceasefire would be focused on America's allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states.

The Israelis have actually offered to frankly check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful.

That's not because that is part of the ceasefire. I think that's the Israelis trying to set us up for success. We'll, of course, see how that unfolds in the next few days.

If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that's ultimately their choice. We think that would be dumb, but that's their choice.
