🇺🇸 HUCKABEE RESPONDS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP'S COMMENTS ON ISRAEL: President Trump said this morning that without the United States, Israel would have ceased to exist.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee responded: "Without Israel, there would not be an America. We owe our very existence to what happened in this land."
⚠️ IRAN THREATENS RESPONSE OVER IDF OPERATIONS IN LEBANON: Lebanon claims the IDF carried out attacks in southern Lebanon.
Iran's General Staff, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, claimed Israel violated the ceasefire in southern Lebanon 84 times in the two days after President Trump announced the end of the war.
Iran warned: "We warn that if the army of the Zionist regime does not cease its attacks in southern Lebanon, it should expect a harsh response from us."
Iran's military separately warned that Israel should expect a harsh response from the Iranian armed forces if it does not stop its attacks in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah also claimed that Iran promised it would not sign a final agreement with the United States unless Israel withdraws from Lebanon.
🔸 REPORTS OF U.S.–IRAN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING: Israeli Channel 12 reported that Israel requested access to the contents of the reported U.S.–Iran memorandum of understanding, but Washington declined to share it.
Separately, Saudi outlet Al Arabiya claims to have obtained the memorandum's key provisions. The full document has not been independently verified, although some details overlap with reporting from Channel 12 and Reuters.
According to the reported framework:
• Iran, the United States, and their respective allies would halt hostilities, including in Lebanon.
• Iran would reaffirm that it will not develop or acquire nuclear weapons.
• Iran's enriched uranium stockpile would be addressed during negotiations on a final agreement.
• Iran would be permitted to maintain its current nuclear program during the negotiation period.
• The United States would refrain from imposing new sanctions or conducting major military buildups in the region during negotiations.
• Iran would ensure freedom of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz for approximately 60 days.
• The United States would release frozen Iranian assets and grant temporary sanctions waivers permitting Iranian oil exports, including related banking, insurance, and shipping activities.
• Oman and Gulf states would participate in discussions on maritime arrangements.
• The framework reportedly envisions 60 days of negotiations toward a final agreement covering Iran's nuclear program and broader regional issues.
📍 REPORTED TERMS OF A FINAL AGREEMENT: If a final agreement is reached, the reported framework would include:
• Full lifting of U.S. sanctions on Iran.
• Withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region within 30 days.
• A formal Iranian commitment never to pursue nuclear weapons.
• A reconstruction and investment program for Iran valued at approximately $300 billion.
Reuters separately reported that the proposed $300 billion fund would be structured as a private investment vehicle backed by companies from the United States, Gulf states, Asia, South America, and Africa, with more than half of the funding reportedly already committed.
Separately, the Swiss Foreign Ministry reportedly stated that a U.S.–Iran agreement is expected to be signed Friday in Burgdorf.
🛰️ ISRAELI CONCERNS OVER REPORTED FRAMEWORK: The Wall Street Journal and some Israeli commentators have characterized the reported framework as a major concession to Tehran.
Their concerns focus on the reported sanctions relief, resumed Iranian oil exports, release of frozen assets, and the continuation of Iran's current nuclear activities while negotiations continue.
