⚠️ TRUMP SAYS ISRAEL AND IRAN SEEK IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE AS IRAN THREATENS FURTHER RESPONSE OVER LEBANON
⚠️ President Trump says Israel and Iran are seeking an immediate ceasefire: President Trump stated: “Both sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to do an immediate CEASEFIRE! Final negotiations on ‘Peace’ are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way.”
Trump added: “The Blockade will remain in place, and in full force and effect, until a ‘Final Deal’ is reached. Things should move quickly.
Claims emerged that Israel and Iran both want an immediate ceasefire. Netanyahu and President Trump reportedly spoke a short time ago.
⚠️ Iran announces halt to attacks while threatening stronger action over Lebanon: “The cessation of armed forces operations is announced,” Khatam al-Anbiya, Iran's emergency military command, said in a statement carried by Iranian media.
The statement added: “However, it is emphasized that if the aggression and acts of malice continue, including in southern Lebanon, much more severe and crushing measures than before will be forthcoming.”
♟️ Regional deterrence equations center on Lebanon: The current chain described by regional actors is as follows:
Hezbollah: if Israel attacks southern Lebanon, Hezbollah will strike Kiryat Shmona.
Israel: if Kiryat Shmona is attacked, Israel will strike Beirut.
Iran: if Beirut is attacked, Iran will strike Israel.
Israel: if Israel is attacked, Israel will strike Iran.
Iran: if southern Lebanon is attacked, Iran will strike Israel.
The first stages have already occurred. The fifth is now the key equation, aimed at pressuring Israel to stop targeting Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
As of now: Reports of strikes in southern Lebanon.
