Israel carries out air strikes on Lebanon, state media says, as Iran claims deal with US near

 Israel has carried out air strikes in the south of Lebanon after ordering people to leave about 20 locations, Lebanese state media has said.

At least one person has been killed following a strike on the town of Marrakeh, in Lebanon's Tyre district, according to the Lebanese National News Agency.

Israel's prime minister had previously warned his country would strike Hezbollah if it continues attacks against northern Israel. 

The strikes come as Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country is mediating talks between the US and Iran, wrote on X "we are closer to a peace deal than ever before". Finalisation is "likely expected in the next 24 hours", he added.

Iran's foreign minister said earlier that a deal to end fighting with the US is close. The agreement also envisages an end to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, Seyed Abbas Araghchi also said.

Araghchi said the deal includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and told state TV it includes the lifting of a US blockade of Iran. However, he said talks on Iran's nuclear programme would begin later.

US officials have confirmed some of the details of the agreement, saying economic benefits for Iran would depend on Tehran meeting its obligations.

Previous reports from the US have suggested Lebanon may not be part of this deal - with Iran reportedly insisting on it.

The war began with US and Israeli strikes across Iran on 28 February, prompting Iran to attack Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf - as well as effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for the world's oil and liquefied natural gas.

Donald Trump lashes out at ‘very dishonourable’ Iran as country’s leadership LEAKS top secret peace terms

 Donald Trump has lashed out at Iran after officials leaked peace proposals between Washington and Tehran, branding their conduct "very dishonourable".

Taking to social media this afternoon, the President insisted the information released by Iran bore no resemblance to what had actually been negotiated. "The terms that Iran leaked out to the fake news have nothing to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing," Trump stated on his Truth Social platform. 

"What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith."

The deal would reportedly prolong the current ceasefire by 60 days, creating a window for both nations to negotiate over Iran's nuclear programme. Central to the agreement detailed by Tehran is the nation's stockpile of enriched uranium, with the deal reportedly including billions in sanctions relief.

According to an Iranian source speaking to Reuters, the terms would lift American sanctions targeting Iran's oil sector and release billions in frozen Iranian assets. The agreement would also mandate a complete end to hostilities, encompassing the peripheral conflict between Israel and Lebanon. 

The White House appear dead set on concluding negotiations to bring an end to the conflict.

"We're not quite at the finish line yet, but we're very close," a senior White House official said in response to the details of the deal. 

Vice President JD Vance is anticipated to put pen to paper on the agreement in Geneva, perhaps as early as Sunday - which coincides with President Trump's birthday.

Four US Air Force C-17 transport aircraft departed for Europe yesterday, ferrying equipment in preparation for the Vice President's trip to the Swiss city, where a signing ceremony is being arranged.

The Road to Israel’s Isolation: Trump, Iran, and the Last Days

Lately, the tension between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has become much more obvious. In the past, American presidents and Israeli leaders sometimes disagreed behind closed doors. Now, these disagreements are out in the open, especially about Israel’s right to defend itself from threats by Iran and its allies.

President Trump seems to have had enough. Over the past two months, he has shown extraordinary patience in negotiating with Iran and trying to close a deal that would end the war. Even though Iran’s regime violated the ceasefire time after time, attacking U.S. bases and our allies in the region, the president maintained that Iran wanted a deal and that progress was being made.

Steven Spielberg Believes That Disclosure Day Will Greatly Shake The Faith Of Christians All Over The Globe

Would undeniable evidence of alien life cause large numbers of people to abandon what they believe about God? Disclosure Day comes out in theaters this weekend, and that appears to be one of the biggest questions that this film is driving at. Much of the global population has always operated under the assumption that the only intelligent life that exists in the universe is on this planet. So how would the world respond to very clear evidence that proves once and for all that we are not alone?

Deal to end fighting would lead to Hormuz reopening, Iran says

  A deal with the US to end fighting in Iran is close and includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's Foreign Minister has said.

Seyed Abbas Araghchi told state TV the deal also includes the lifting of a US blockade of Iran, but that talks on Iran's nuclear programme would begin later. US officials have confirmed some of the details of the agreement, saying economic benefits for Iran would depend on Tehran meeting its obligations.

The war began with US and Israeli strikes across Iran on 28 February, prompting Iran to attack Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf - as well as effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for the world's oil and liquefied natural gas.

Despite having agreed a ceasefire in April, the US and Iran have exchanged intermittent fire, including two rounds of tit-for-tat strikes this week.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he had cancelled "scheduled attacks" against Iran, because negotiators had "just made a great settlement" - a deal that was likely be to signed imminently. On Friday, Iranian media published some details from the alleged 14-point deal which Trump said had "nothing to do with the terms that were agreed to" and "bears no relation to the truth".

A few hours later, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country helped mediate the deal, said the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the US and Iran had been agreed and awaited finalising.

Iran's Araghchi was quoted in state media saying there are "supporters and opponents" of the latest terms of the deal among Iran's top security body, the Supreme National Security Council. However, he added that a collective decision had not been reached. "For now, we must wait. If approved, the agreement will be signed remotely," he said.

Israel is not involved in the talks which are meant to lead to an extension of the ceasefire and the start of negotiations on key issues, including Iran's nuclear programme. For decades, Iran has been accused by Western countries of trying to build a nuclear weapon. It has denied the accusations saying its programme is for peaceful purposes - to generate electricity and for research purposes.

The Iranian Regime Is Not Interested in Making Peace; And That Doesn’t Shock Students of God’s Word

By Robert Gottselig - https://harbingersdaily.com/the-iranian-regime-is-not-interested-in-making-peace-and-that-doesnt-shock-students-of-gods-word/

The world’s attention is fixed on the situation in Israel after Iran began launching ballistic missiles into the Jewish State last Sunday.

Iran stated that the attack was in retaliation for Israel’s strike on Hezbollah in Beirut, which it had previously warned would be the consequence of any Israeli action in the Lebanese capital.

Of course, Israel’s operation was not out of the blue, but a direct response to Hezbollah resuming its rocket and drone attacks into northern Israel, placing Israeli civilians and soldiers directly in harm’s way.

Daily Jot: Iran Rebuilding While the World Negotiates

Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com

One of the most important questions surrounding current negotiations is whether Iran’s military capabilities have truly been crippled. Recent reports suggest otherwise. Intelligence assessments and regional reporting indicate that Iran is already rebuilding missile production capabilities and restoring military infrastructure. If accurate, this is a reoccurring pattern--Tehran using ceasefires to replenish resources and strengthen strategic assets. Military setbacks become temporary interruptions rather than permanent limitations. The lesson from decades of Middle East conflict is straightforward: intentions matter, but capabilities matter more. It’s a rope-a-dope strategy that is as predictable as night and day.

The rebuilding effort extends beyond Iran’s borders. Hezbollah continues operating along Israel’s northern frontier. The Houthis openly threaten intervention on behalf of Hezbollah and maintain aggressive regional posturing. Various Iranian-backed militias remain active throughout the region. These groups function as instruments of Iranian influence and power projection. Their activities allow Tehran to pressure adversaries while maintaining varying degrees of plausible deniability.

Tehran says 'nothing' finalised after Trump claims deal to end Iran war near

  Iran has insisted that a final decision on an agreement to end the current conflict with the US has not yet been reached, despite President Trump again claiming a deal was likely to be signed imminently.

Trump had declared the US would strike Iran "very hard" again on Thursday, but later said he was cancelling the strikes because negotiators had "just made a great settlement" with Iran.

He told reporters it was "subject to finalisation of documents, which should get done, over the next few days" and that there would "probably" be a signing ceremony in Europe.

But Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said reports of an agreement were "speculative" and "nothing has been finalised".

Trump has previously claimed a deal with Iran was close without one materialising.

The US and Israel launched wide-ranging strikes on Iran on 28 February. Iran responded by attacking Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf, and effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz - a key shipping route for the world's oil and liquefied natural gas.

Despite having agreed a ceasefire in April, the US and Iran have exchanged intermittent fire, including two rounds of tit-for-tat strikes this week. At the same time, Trump has also repeatedly talked up the prospects of a deal with Iran.

In the wake of his latest comments the price of Brent crude plunged to about $89 a barrel (£66), down 4.4% on the day.
