Lebanese News and Updates

Trump on Iran: Everybody’s been killed from the regime. They’re really starting off. There’s automatically a regime change, but we’re dealing with some people that I find to be very reasonable, very solid. The people within know who they are. They’re very respected, and maybe one of them will be exactly what we’re looking for. ✍️ Regime change. Like changing Taliban with Taliban in Afghanistan. You only achieved a tamer version.

Trump on The Strait of Hormuz: It will be jointly controlled, and maybe controlled by me and the Ayatollah. ✍ From complete surrender to please let's work together Mr Ayatollah. Funny is, Iran never has full control of the strait. It's not a canal that passes through Iran

Trump on a possible deal with Iran: There are many points of agreement with Iran right now like 15 points. They’re not going to have a nuclear weapon—that’s number one. That’s number one, two, and three. They will never have a nuclear weapon—they’ve agreed to that.

Reporter: If you obliterated their nuclear sites last summer, then how can you argue it was an imminent threat now? Trump: We obliterated them. But that doesn’t mean with the right equipment you can’t dig down and go get it. We don’t want that.

Reporter: If you end up hitting Iranian power plants, how is that different from what Russia is doing in Ukraine? Trump: I think it’s a lot different... I’m not a fan of what Russia is doing either, just so you understand, but it’s a lot different.

Trump on Iranian oil: I just want to have as much oil in the system as possible. We don’t even know if Iran gets that money. Any small amount of money Iran gets is not going to make a difference in this war.

Reporter: How are you going to get the enriched uranium? Trump: It’s very easy—if we have a deal, we will go and take it ourselves.

Reporter: If these talks go well and you reach a ceasefire agreement with Iran, do you believe Israel would abide by that agreement? Trump: I think Israel will be very happy with what we have. I think they will be very happy.

Trump on Iran: We want no enrichment, and we also want the enriched uranium. If this happens, it is a great start for Iran to build itself back.

Trump on Iran: We want the nuclear dust. We’re going to want that, and I think we’re going to get that. We’ve agreed to that—yeah, we’re going to; we’ve agreed to that.

Trump on Iran: We are dealing with a man who I believe is the most respected and the leader. ✍ He probably means the parliament speaker who led the war effort in both wars. He's the Chad that flew the airliner from Iran to Lebanon during an official visit.

So far 3 main bridges down and a couple smaller passages. A new bridge is under threat deep in the area between eastern south Lebanon, and the other provinces that extend to Beqaa
