There was a time when Beirut was considered the Paris of the Middle East. This is why Lebanon matters. Today, two countries in the Middle East are being targeted for their beauty. Make no mistake this is a War on Beauty. Photo of Beirut by beautiful Arab.



The amount of people who are taking #Iran’s regime’s SNSC statement and its comic spin seriously is astounding. President Trump didn’t agree to that 10 point plan. All President Trump said was that it was a “workable basis on which to negotiate.” And Araghchi referenced President Trump’s 15 point plan in his statement. Those are two extremely different things. It doesn’t bind the U.S. to anything. And if you think the president is suddenly going to agree to a JCPOA-like deal along with withdrawing U.S. troops, compensation, Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, and the rest after the damage Iran has incurred, you should lay down and wait quietly until the feeling passes. In the end, putting the ceasefire aside, both sides on paper are light years apart. The idea that they will be able to agree to a comprehensive deal within 15 days from April 10 stretches credulity. At best there could be an extension. But it could also set the stage for another U.S. and Israeli strike. A replay of February 2026.
