I talked to a few sources in Israel and the frustration with the ceasefire is deep. The are incredibly unhappy there, whether in the army or the government: 1) An Israeli official described the announcement as a "complete surprise," claiming the White House provided a last-minute notification rather than engaging in a joint strategic rollout. 2) Just 24 hours prior, senior Israeli officials were publicly telling reporters they did not expect any ceasefire in the near future. They were blindsided. 3) I was told that there was an operation to assassinate Mojtaba Khamenei, which Netanyahu was heavily invested in, which he had tried to convince Trump to wait for. 4) Security officials have leaked concerns that the 14-day pause provides a critical "breather" for Iran to hide or further bury its uranium stockpiles that were recently exposed by Israeli strikes. 5) Ben-Gvir and Smotrich are already threatening that they will collapse the government if the two-week pause transitions into a permanent arrangement without the full dismantling of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. 6) While Tel Aviv saw jubilant celebrations from hostage families, residents in the Upper Galilee view the pause as a security failure that leaves them under the threat of Hezbollah. In the north they are deeply concerned that they will never be safe again. 7) Some in the Mossad still believe that Israel was on the verge of toppling the Islamic Republic. Those reports were shown to the Trump administration which ignored them. 8) Israeli intelligence is certain that while strikes damaged the Natanz and Minzadehei facilities, the core material was not neutralized. All this to say, there is a sense of coitus interruptus in Israeli security circles. They had more targets they wanted to pursue and are now concerned that Trump will force them to stop in Lebanon. Having said that, the plan is now to escalate in Lebanon and Gaza in order to have some achievements. It is difficult for the security establishment to deal with the fact that Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRGC are Mall still in charge after all this time and all this effort. any are blaming Netanyahu for this outcome.

Netanyahu's office has announced that the ceasefire agreement does not include Lebanon. The Israeli army has already attacked a vehicle in the Tyre district in southern Lebanon and carried out further strikes across the south. If Lebanon is covered by the agreement, Iran must intervene to protect and uphold it. If it is not, this is an abandonment of Lebanon. This is, for now, a success for Israel in dismantling the unity of fronts. The agreement should have explicitly guaranteed a ceasefire in Lebanon and a withdrawal from it. If it is temporary—two weeks—it must at minimum secure a ceasefire, with withdrawal left to the final agreement. Anything less is a complete abandonment.

SECRETARY RUBIO: The whole world has been impacted unfortunately because Iran is violating every law known by striking commercial vessels in the Straits of Hormuz. Iran is a regime that doesn’t believe in laws, rules, or anything like that. It’s a state sponsor of terrorism.

JUST IN: Iranians are gathering on bridges and around power plants, forming human chains after threats of US and Israeli strikes on Iran's civilian infrastructure.

This is the oldest usable bridge in the world. The Old Bridge of Dezful was built in 255 AD by order of Shapur I of Sassanid. Human chain on the Old Bridge of Dezful against Trump's threats There are several human chains in Iran's infrastructure
