Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War

[Rizotto]

It's a set up.

There's no deal possible when Trump & Netanyahu are involved. The USA-Israel axis will never stop attacking Iran and Lebanon. They'll run out of weapons before they stop.

Why in the world wait until Friday to sign this deal anyway?

Here's what's been set up. The deal isn't official until signed 5-6 days from now. That gives Israel a lot of time to continue bombing Lebanon and massacring Palestinians. They might even ramp up their extermination spree to the hilt and destroy as much as they can. Trump will make a show of his disapproval of Netanyahu's carnage, and will also tell Iran to not retaliate against Israel, to just wait until Friday, the official signature day. But by then Lebanon will be so damaged as to be non-recoverable. Or something like that.

By now the Iranians should know that they're dealing with the most devious and malevolent psychopaths on the planet, i.e. Trump and Netanyahu. These two will pull the rug from under the Iranians' feet at the first opportunity. The Iranians should never ever believe anything they say.

This is only naive assumption, that Trump has been acting in good faith... he is is not... never believed in him... he is senile and the zionist occupiers have dog-walked Trump both his terms.... we know.. they dog walked also Biden.... US gov are zionist occupied... and if all go well, it need to cut all ties with Israel.... then............ my 2 cents.

Paula Yacoubian, an independent Lebanese politician, says Israel will do its utmost to derail the US-Iran deal.

“Let’s hope it does not become a memorandum of misunderstanding. It’s obvious now there is so much at stake. It’s a very fragile understanding and I guess Israel is trying to sabotage it,” Yacoubian told Al Jazeera.

She noted how the US-Israel war on Iran “proved how important Hezbollah is for the Iranian regime”.

“Hezbollah fought for Iran, not for the interests of Lebanon… This is bad news for Israel and you can hear today the screaming.”

NewsReal: Schrödinger's Deal: US-Iran Peace Again Thwarted by Israeli Bombardment of Beirut



The seemingly endless 'negotiations' between the Trump White House and Tehran made a breakthrough last week, when, for the first time since the US and Israel attacked Iran on 28 February, Iranian leaders signalled that a preliminary 'peace deal' is indeed within reach... until Israel nixed it by launching airstrikes into downtown Beirut.

In the meantime the World Cup is underway, and the US, as one of the host countries, understands that the importance of 'summer games' to the masses means there's no possibility for serious exchanges of fire with Iran until at least mid-July.

Will Israel be brought to heel, however grudgingly?

What about Gaza? I have subscribed to SubStack. It is useful to have the option of reading an indepth article in about 5 minutes rather than watching up to a 3-hour video with the same information. But, there are quite a few Gazans on SubStack, and it is heartrending to read their posts, hope and despair, defiance and fear, love and uncertainty, but continued suffering ... Israel has continued its killing and destruction, its unlawful detaining and torturing of Palestinians, its random acts of withholding aid and vital medical supplies, etc. And there are still orphaned toddlers with amputated limbs in Gaza. Why has Gaza been forgotten? Do we have to have the drama of a flotilla to even remember Gaza? Why have European countries expressed outrage about the cruel and illegal treatment of people on the flotilla, but never lifted a finger about the killing fields of Gaza?

[bojancan]

So many different opinions... I want to believe, I want all this killings get away... also in Gaza, yes... I never forget it... but, I do not have trust in Israel and US government... I do not..

War on the cheap: Hezbollah's low-cost FPV drones are making Israel's high-tech military obsolete

Hezbollah has discovered a low cost cheat code that has rendered Israel's modern military equipment obsolete- the First Person View (FPV) Drone. A weapon so cheap and simple that is wiping out hundreds of millions worth of Israel's military and surveillance technology.

Left in disbelief, the Israeli military have suffered around 250 casualties in just over two weeks, largely at the hands of Lebanese resistance drone operators. Having adopted guerilla warfare tactics to confront the invading Israeli army in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah is utilising a strategy that no other non-State actor has managed to pull off until this point, but may well be reshaping asymmetric warfare as we know it.

The use of FPV drones, a strategy emerging from the Ukraine-Russia war, has had a deadly effect on advancing enemy forces and is said to be responsible for the majority of battlefield casualties in East Europe's current major conflict.

FPV drones come in two separate varieties- one using a fiber-optic cable and the other being a radio-controlled Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The fiber-optic cabled drone appears to be favoured by Hezbollah, as its advantage comes in its ability to render Israel's high-tech air defence systems useless, as electronic warfare and spectral jamming don't work against it. Meanwhile, the radio-controlled version has been deployed for the purpose of using larger explosive charges.

Here's what's been set up. The deal isn't official until signed 5-6 days from now. That gives Israel a lot of time to continue bombing Lebanon and massacring Palestinians. They might even ramp up their extermination spree to the hilt and destroy as much as they can.

As of the past twelve hours, it went quiet.

These are the incidents:

Press TV reporter wounded in Israeli drone strike on southern Lebanon

Bahrain issues harsh sentences for 12 people over their support for Iran

No firing.

The injury was perhaps from yesterday.

The tea leaves come up like this:

Zionist media: The agreement is a victory for Iran, and Netanyahu has made us hostages to Trump

Israeli media: The Israeli army is reducing its operations in Lebanon and awaiting a decision from the political leadership

‘Israel’ Defies Defeat: Katz Says Forces ‘Staying’ in Southern Lebanon

So, you perhaps have a few extremists who don't want to comply.

Otherwise, a ship has transited the Strait. Iran trusts nothing, so, their belief in the MoU depends solely on their military.

Because Lebanon and other areas are included, then, there could be further consequences for Israel. In terms of blasting it. Holding it accountable for crimes already committed is another matter.


This is perhaps an unexpected release:

The first tranche of approximately $3 billion in Iranian foreign-exchange assets has arrived in Tehran following the landing of a private Emirati aircraft at Mehrabad Airport in recent days, according to a report.

The development, which was confirmed on Monday, came as part of a broader financial arrangement between Tehran and Abu Dhabi aimed at preserving regional economic stability, with the shipment marking the initial phase of the process.

Radar data confirmed that a Boeing 737-7JZ BBJ, registered A6-RJF and operated as an Emirati private aircraft, conducted a direct flight from Abu Dhabi to Tehran last Monday. The aircraft, which was carrying the funds, landed at Mehrabad Airport after crossing regional air traffic restrictions.

The arrangement between the countries features gradual release of Iranian financial resources.

The transfer countered official US positions featuring repeated denials regarding certain aspects of the relevant discussions.

The Emirati side has, however, committed to the release of between $10 billion and $20 billion in Iranian assets as part of the arrangement.

Right now we simply have a pivot, which is highly un-favorable to the Zionists. Chances are the temporary entity will wither, whether by force or by being dropped off the face of the earth.

• Trump: Iran deal is 'all signed':

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=KjAtpvMZzjo

US President Donald Trump confirmed the Iran deal is “all signed” as he arrived in France for the G7 summit. Mr Trump announced the contents of the deal with Iran will be made public later this week, once it is formally signed in Switzerland. He said the Strait of Hormuz is already “partially reopened” and should be “completely opened by Friday”. The memorandum of understanding is said to have been signed electronically by Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

[shaberon]

This is easy math. 1 - 1 = 0.


So, you have a ceremony going on in Switzerland, which isn't legally binding, but it it historically pivotal if it happens at all.

Money has changed hands but some Israelis don't want to cooperate.

Well, since stipulations have been made, Israel is in the position to be attacked, and, since, it at least says it does this forever, then, the implication would also seem to be that it will start to eat missiles forever. That wouldn't be what I would personally call eternity, but it's the language they used.


In the sense that a written thing is a step up from a "gentlemen's handshake", the hardcore Iranian military preference is to never have stopped flying missiles over there until there is nothing left.

This is Quds Commander BG Esmail Qaani, who is simply obeying leadership to not fire anything. So the following refers to collapse of the entity although it is more of the tone inevitably, one way or another.

It's pretty much an endless war, not Israel vs. enemy of the month, but Israel vs. Iran.

Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, has stated that the third imposed war completely discredited the United States and has accelerated the collapse of the criminal Israeli regime.

In an extensive interview on Monday night, the Quds commander said, “The third imposed war discredited America. The trend of the collapse of the Zionist regime has gained momentum.”

“Today, America knows very well, and the Zionist regime understands even better, that the force standing firmly against them in the harshest conditions, refusing to leave the battlefield, is the resistance,” Qaani said.

“From Operation Al-Aqsa Flood until today, despite unprecedented pressure, maximum destruction, and the most horrific crimes in beloved Palestine and Lebanon, not a single resistance group abandoned the field. This steadfastness has terrified the enemies,” he said.

The Quds Force commander revealed that resistance groups had made their own decision long before the war to stand at the forefront against the United States in order to protect the Islamic Republic.

“When these resistance brothers felt danger, they gathered and said: ‘In the battle with America, we must take the lead and not let the Islamic Republic face problems.’ This was their own decision, without anyone even asking them a single word,” he noted.

General Qaani praised the performance of the entire axis of resistance in the recent war, saying it “shone powerfully.”

He particularly highlighted Hezbollah’s role, noting that the Lebanese resistance movement fought shoulder-to-shoulder with Iran for 104 days.

“Hezbollah cannot be dismantled. No one can stand against Hezbollah of Lebanon,” he said.

“Hezbollah is the entire Shia community and a significant portion of the non-Shia community of Lebanon. Everything you have seen from Hezbollah is only the tip of the iceberg,” he said.

Qaani further stated that the American-Zionist enemy has lost all credibility wherever it confronted the resistance.

He pointed to the Bab al-Mandab Strait as one of the resistance’s winning cards, saying it is “like wax in the hands of the boys of Hezbollah, Ansarullah, and Yemen.”

He revealed that some of the most advanced American warships intending to cross the Red Sea during the war spent nearly two weeks going back and forth between Yemen and Jeddah before ultimately not daring to pass through.

Qaani also praised Iran’s negotiating team, saying that as soon as the Zionist regime launched its aggression against Lebanon, the Iranian side dealt with the enemy and the mediators with full authority.

“Steadfastness in the Lebanon issue proved that the men of the battlefield and diplomacy are of the resistance kind,” he concluded.

The remarks once again highlighted the strategic depth and unbreakable unity of the axis of resistance, which continues to change regional equations in favor of the oppressed despite all pressures and aggressions by the United States and the Zionist regime.

Netanyahu says Israel won’t leave occupied land in Lebanon
Israel’s occupation of territory in Lebanon and Syria will continue, prime minister insists, despite US deal with Iran.

June 15, 2026

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue Israel’s occupations of Lebanese and Syrian territory, despite the announcement of a ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran that links to those hostilities.

Netanyahu told a press conference on Monday that Israel’s forces will remain in Lebanon, where it occupies around 570sq km (220sq miles) of territory. Israel’s conflict with the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, has killed more than 3,000 people.

“We will stay in the Lebanon security buffer zone for as long as necessary,” Netanyahu told reporters.

According to unconfirmed details, Lebanon will be covered in the deal due to be signed by Iran and the US on Friday, and Netanyahu’s comments will likely add pressure to the already fragile ceasefire agreement.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shebaz Sharif, who announced the deal on Sunday, said a memorandum of understanding would include “the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon”.

Israel has been involved in a war with Hezbollah since October 2023 and launched cross-border raids in October 2024. This later developed into a full-scale invasion of Lebanon, and Israel now occupies territory beyond the Litani River that runs across southern Lebanon – the official end point of Israel’s self-declared “security zone”.

Despite this, Netanyahu said that Israel would continue to target “Iran’s terror arms” and “will need to continue to stand guard” against Iran.

On Sunday, Israel launched a strike on Beirut’s suburbs, killing three people – an attack perceived as crossing one of Iran’s red lines concerning the deal with the US.

The strike reportedly angered US President Donald Trump, who was worried that it could disrupt progress towards the ceasefire. But despite threats of retaliation by Tehran, the memorandum of understanding linked to the agreement was signed on Sunday night.

Netanyahu has clashed with Trump behind closed doors, according to reports, as he faces criticism from the Israeli opposition and right wing for failing to prevent the US-Iran deal from emerging.

Hardline Israelis worry that an end to the war with Iran will force the end of the country’s invasions of Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, where Israel occupies around 1,000sq km (386sq miles) of territory.

During the press conference, Netanyahu said he does not always “see eye to eye” with Trump and claimed that Israel’s war with Iran was an overall win for the country.

“Many times we see eye to eye, and there are also cases in which we see less eye to eye. I am responsible for Israel’s security interests. I stand up for them,” he said, according to The Jerusalem Post.

“Iran will never have nuclear weapons, not today and not tomorrow… We beheaded the leaders of the terror regime, we crushed the terror factories.”

Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz vowed earlier on Monday that Israel will not withdraw from territory it has occupied since 2023.

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I are pursuing a clear policy of maintaining the Israeli army in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza, without setting a time limit, in order to protect Israel’s borders and towns from jihadist elements,” he said. “We oppose the withdrawal of the Israeli army from Lebanon, despite all current and future pressures.”

Iran is the obstacle for Israel... and they know.. under Trump this would be the last opportunity they have... Once Iran is defeated.. Israel will start more wars... as they always do.. to steal the territories of several Arab countries and around the world...

For me this is a very important point, maybe the most important point. Since Israel has 98% of American politicians in pocket and doing their bidding, who here thinks they'll stop at Greater Israel if Iran is toppled? Iran was last on Wesley Clark's list of countries. Isn't that a list of the last remaining countries within the vicinity either not in line with, or strategicly needed for, the Greater Israel project penned by the Rothschild globalist scum in the first place, same pricks responsible for the Muslim invasions infecting all western countries and cultures? That's some problem-reaction-solution generations in the making, real long game stuff. I know many here believe the "they're about to get nuclear weapons" but hasn't that gone the way of "manmade climate change" by this point since they've been threatening it for the last 30 or 40 years, wielding it over our heads to keep us in line? I've always abhorred politics, knew it was false and rigged from the getgo, and hate that I, along with the rest of you fine folks (who else hears Obama), have been sucked into that false world. And I especially hate being bombarded by fear porn day in and day out. But all things considered, I'm beginning to think that the overthrow of Iran is the last thing holding back both the completion of Greater Israel and the death of America and western culture in general. But like I said, I've always hated politics so what do I know...

Agree 100%. It's unfortunate (understatement) that so many Israelis have been indoctrinated so negatively from birth with a false understanding of who and what they are, but then this applies to all of us to some extent. But one would hope that logic or commonsense would prevail, and sometimes it does, but I get the impression that even if the entire Israeli government was removed and replaced, the next one would be exactly the same. IS there a workable solution and can it be done diplomatically?

[shaberon]

On the part of Israel, this is a complete failure:

Senior Israeli officials have acknowledged that the war’s outcome fell short of expectations, with one official admitting it “wouldn’t have been worth fighting” had its political endgame been known in advance, as new details reveal deep divisions over the timing of a strike on Beirut’s southern suburb (Dahiyeh).

“If Israel had known the war would end this way, from a political standpoint, it certainly wouldn’t have been worth fighting,” i24 NEWS quoted senior Israeli official as saying.

Meanwhile, Yedioth Ahronoth reported, citing sources that the recent Israeli attack on Dahiyeh was ordered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz despite explicit warnings from senior military leaders about the risk of triggering an Iranian ballistic missile response.

Despite these attempts, Israeli officials now believe Netanyahu has lost leverage over US policy, with one assessment concluding he is unable to block a deal the Israeli leadership views as dangerous.

The outcome, according to the report, underscores a widening gap between Israeli political leadership and strategic realities, with the confrontation ending in what some described as Washington imposing its will—leaving Netanyahu politically weakened and the agreement moving forward.

“Netanyahu appeared to be in a difficult position, having spent the past three weeks trying to redefine the rules of engagement with Hezbollah and demonstrate that he does not submit to Trump,” one source said.

However, according to the newspaper, “everything ended with Trump imposing his will and inflicting further humiliation on Netanyahu.”

Yes, they hoped the Beirut strikes would stop the MoU, and, in his imagination, Lebanon is a separate front.

But America's not attacking Iran; instead, Iran is defending Lebanon.

Today they are just shooting at some civilians, but, they have to totally leave.

One doesn't expect an Iranian missile barrage over every tiny little detail, but, in the near future, this will probably all switch around. They can't do much without actual US assistance.

No war is over. These are terms for a cease-fire to begin; Israel does not comply; it will pay the price. It could be left to hang itself.

[Rizotto]

Isn't that USA taxpayers' $$$ funding these terrorists? Yes, terrorists. Let's call them for what they are.

Israel to fund extremist settlers – media
The Israeli government plans to allocate $1.9 million to pay monthly stipends to members of the Hilltop Youth

June 16, 2026

The Israeli government has reportedly outlined a plan to issue state funding to members of the extremist settler group Hilltop Youth, allocating some 5.5 million shekels ($1.9 million) for monthly stipends for its members.

Founded in the late 1990s, the group has been operating in the West Bank and maintaining a network of illegal outposts in the occupied Palestinian territories. Over the years, the Hilltop Youth has been involved in numerous violent incidents against Palestinians, including arson and murder, with almost complete impunity. The group, which is believed to have fewer than 1,000 active members, was recognized as an extremist entity and sanctioned by the EU and the US Office of Foreign Assets Control back in 2024.

The Israeli government is now seeking to provide stipends to the members of the group to cover food, clothes, and other basic necessities, the Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported on Monday, citing a document issued by far-right Settlement and National Missions Minister Orit Strock. The ministry has identified more than 650 youths living in hilltop outposts across the West Bank who are eligible for the program.

The members of the group will receive about $550 per month under the program starting in June, according to the newspaper. The plan involves allocating nearly $2 million to bankroll the program until the end of the year.

The funds are a part of a broader program worth some 120 million shekels ($41.3 million), which is supposed to address the violence against Palestinians perpetrated by settlers, the daily noted. The program combines educational means with social work, including fielding mediators between the Hilltop Youth and local authorities, as well as encouraging military conscription.

The movement, which takes its roots in religious Zionism, is largely composed of Israeli settlers aged between 16 and 26. The group’s members opt to leave their homes, abandoning their education or work, to live in hilltop outposts overlooking Palestinian communities while harassing locals. The settler violence has been on the rise in the West Bank since the surprise attack on Israel by Hamas in October 2023, which triggered a major conflict in Gaza.
