I’ve said this before and I will say it again: Trump made a mistake starting this war, made the right decision ending it, and can STILL turn it into a win for the U.S. and the region This is how: 1. Accept a proposal similar to the pre-war Oman offer, which includes an essential dismantling of their nuclear program 2. Offer to unfreeze Iranian assets and the lifting of sanctions in exchange for Iran dismantling their proxy network (mainly Hezbollah) 3. Optional, allow a very temporary Iranian toll booth at the Strait of Hormuz as part of the reparations, and if lucky, Iran may kickback a small % of the proceeds to the U.S. This could become the beginning of an era of normalization between Iran and the West 4. Force Israel to withdraw from Lebanese territories as Hezbollah’s military wing gets disarmed/disbanded This way the Iranian people enjoy a better life with the sanctions lifted, the U.S. pulls Iran slightly away from China’s orbit, and the dismantling of Iran’s proxy network brings peace to the region and removes threats Israel uses to justify their aggressive foreign policy Downsides: 1. The same Iranian regime that massacred protesters remains in power (that ship has sailed, regime change operation failed) 2. Lebanon loses a deterrent against Israeli invasion (France, the U.S. and the Arab world need to help re-arm the Lebanese Army) 3. The Gulf need to accept Iran as a permanent superpower in the region (that process has already begun) Of course this outcome is unlikely, the world is far from a utopia, but Trump may still pull off something similar, something that could be considered a win for all parties involved.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Hezbollah's "bank" got smoked deep in southern Lebanon. Israeli strike slammed a branch of Al-Qard Al-Hassan in Deir a-Zahran, the group's financial arm that funnels cash for rockets and tunnels. Source: Yediot News

🇩🇪🇮🇱 Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich told the German Chancellor to "bow his head and apologize a thousand times" after Merz said there must be no de facto annexation of the West Bank. Invoking the Holocaust to silence criticism of Israeli government policy from Germany's leader... A classic! That's a significant moment in how Israel is choosing to engage with its closest European allies.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇱🇱🇧🇫🇷 Israel has blocked France from joining next week's direct talks with Lebanon in Washington. An Israeli official reportedly said France's conduct over the past year led them to view it as an unfair mediator. Politicians can be more childish than high schoolers 😂😂 Source: Jerusalem Post
