This isn’t victory because the evil regime survived 💔🥲🤮

AP reports that the ceasefire was achieved thanks to the intervention of Vice President JD Vance and China, in addition to other mediating parties

Oil prices are plunging to around $95 per barrel following the ceasefire announcement

After the ceasefire announcement: In Tehran, US and Israeli flags are being burned

To the Iranian regime, this is victory. They survived the strikes, licked their wounds, and will soon parade “resistance” while tightening their grip on power.

To the United States and its allies, this is victory: Iran’s nuclear facilities lie in ruins, its breakout timeline pushed back years, and a dangerous threshold crossed without full-scale war.

But to the oppressed Iranian people, this is bitter defeat.

Chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party Avigdor Lieberman attacked the ceasefire and claimed: "The ceasefire gives the Ayatollah regime a timeout and an opportunity to reorganize, we will have to return to another campaign under more difficult conditions"

Even the opposition leader Lapid attacked: "There has never been such a political disaster in all our history. Israel was not even at the table when decisions concerning the core of our national security were made. Netanyahu failed politically, failed strategically - he did not meet any of the goals he himself set"

An official Lebanese source to Al-Jazeera: Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is conducting international contacts to include Lebanon in the ceasefire, which included French President Macron and a number of international parties

US Vice President J.D. Vance: Trump instructed me and the American negotiation team to come to talks with Iran "in good faith" to reach an agreement. If the Iranians do not negotiate in good faith, they will find out that Trump is not someone to mess with

The Iranian English-language channel PRESSTV: The US and Israel violated the ceasefire and attacked the refinery on Lavan Island

IDF: We carried out the largest attack in Lebanon since the beginning of the operation | Within 10 minutes and in several areas simultaneously - the IDF completed a strike against about 100 Hezbollah command centers and military infrastructures.

Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz - and the Iranian navy announced today to the ships anchored in the strait that they must obtain approval from the Revolutionary Guards navy to pass, in full coordination. "A ship that passes without approval will be destroyed," is heard in a recording passed by one of the crews on site to The Wall Street Journal

Senior Iranian official to Reuters: We may open the Strait of Hormuz tomorrow or Friday ahead of talks in Pakistan. Even then, the opening will be limited and subject to coordination of all ships with Iran's security forces.

Airstrikes have reportedly targeted the Lavan Oil Refinery in Iran, as the ceasefire is seemingly in effect in name only.

Defense Minister Israel Katz called the surprise strike on headquarters across Lebanon "the largest concentrated blow Hezbollah has suffered since the operation." "Naim Qassem did not understand what Nasrallah understood in his last moments," Katz said. "The Israel after October 7 is not the same Israel of the past and will not tolerate any threat or harm to its citizens - neither from Iran nor from Lebanon. Qassem's personal turn will also come."

IDF Arabic spokesperson reveals: "Hezbollah is leaving the terrorist strongholds in Dahieh - recently the IDF identified that Hezbollah began leaving the Shiite strongholds in Dahieh and moving to northern Beirut and to the mixed and Christian areas. Following IDF activity in the area, Hezbollah understood that the terrorist stronghold it established is no longer a safe place for it, and therefore began relocating"
