US Conducts Additional Military Strikes Against Iran
The Shiities of Lebanon are not happy:
BREAKING: Hezbollah terrorists are rioting in Beirut after Lebanon and Israel signed an agreement to engage in direct and formal peace talks for the first time.

Netanyahu says deal with Lebanon ‘a massive blow to Iran’
We can now bring you more from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments, when he described the framework agreement with Lebanon as a “historic accomplishment”.
He said:
- “Under these understandings, the US and Lebanon have recognised Israel’s right to maintain the security zone inside Lebanon for as long as it is required for our security. We will continue to hold it until Hezbollah and the rest of the terrorist organisations are disarmed, and until no further threat to Israel is posed from Lebanon.
- “This is a massive blow to Iran and Hezbollah. Iran tried to force a withdrawal from southern Lebanon upon us… I stood firm on our vital interests and forcefully opposed the notion of forcing a withdrawal upon us.
- “Lebanon, Israel, and the US are essentially saying to Iran: ‘This is none of your business. You have no status here. You have no involvement and no role.’
- “Israel and Lebanon have agreed on two adjacent areas near the Yellow Line, recommended by the [Israeli military], where there will be a pilot programme for disarming Hezbollah and transferring the territory to the control of the Lebanese army.
- “We are breaking the Iranian axis of terro r, but we are also breaking the Iranian diplomatic axis.”
