— 🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇮🇷 NEW: A U.S. official also told Reuters that withdrawal from Lebanon is not part of the MoU, confirming the statement by Israel

If it isn’t, then why did Iranian officials say it is? And what was that alleged ‘last minute concession’ given to prevent an attack on Israel?

For me, nothing in this deal is more important than Lebanon.

I don’t care about the money or sanctions relief or even Hormuz if there’s no peace in Lebanon.

What could be is that Iran and the U.S. did agree on an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, but that Israel is allowed to present it as a separate agremeent with the Lebanese government, having Aoun announce it in a week or two, so that Iran doesn’t get any credit.

—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷 Hezbollah in its first military statement since the ceasefire:

‘In defense of Lebanon, and based on the legitimate right to resist occupation and liberate the land, and in response to the Israeli enemy's violation of the ceasefire:

After monitoring an Israeli force consisting of a bulldozer and two Merkava tanks advancing from Hamat Arnon, the checkpoint near the border in the outskirts of Kafr Tannin, fighters of the Islamic Resistance attacked them with ATGMs and Ababil-1000 guided drones, forcing them to retreat.

Netanyahu is giving a speech, so far he is detailing all of Israel’s ‘achievements’ (from Nasrallah’s killing to invading Syria etc.), probably preparing to announce an end to the war.

🇮🇷🤝🇶🇦- According to Israel Hayom, diplomatic officials have confirmed that Washington secretly authorized Qatar to transfer funds to Tehran in exchange for freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and immunity from Iranian attacks.

➡️ The arrangement was deliberately intended to ease global energy prices, with the US Navy effectively turning a blind eye to the deal in contradiction of its declared policy.

➡️ The secret approval, granted approximately one month ago, served as the groundwork for the memorandum of understanding now being forged with Iran.

➡️ Qatar, fearing renewed Iranian attacks on its facilities following a strike on one of its gas installations during the war, sought to secure quiet through the financial arrangement. Some payments were disguised as tanker passage fees, with a credit line of up to $1 billion also opened for goods purchases through Qatar.
