‘Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!!’

You’re right Mr. President—it’s not $300 million.

It’s $300 Billion.

— 🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇱🇧 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:

‘From our perspective, there are two sides in this MoU. On one side there is the United States and Israel, and on the other side there is Iran and Hezbollah.

An end to the war in Lebanon is an inseperable part of the complete end of the war in the region. And a complete end to the war includes a withdrawal of all the forces from occupied areas.

Without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the lands it occupied during this war, it won’t be considered a complete end to the war.

Any military attack by Israel against Lebanon from now on, or the continuation of Israeli occupation inside Lebanon, will definitely be considered a violation of the MoU.’
