Trump Insists US In ‘Final Throes’ Of Iran Deal; Death Toll Soars As Israel Pounds South Lebanon<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The southern Lebanese city of Tyre is being pounded by Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday, despite President Trump’s insistence that Lebanon not come under attack. Israel’s military had hours prior issued an evacuation order for all civilians in the area, amid the unraveling and failing ceasefire.<\/p>\n

Casualties are already high, coming at a tense moment after starting on Sunday Iran sent ballistic missiles against Israel over its renewed airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut, where it says Hezbollah command centers are located.<\/p>\n

The NY Times reports<\/a> of the growing death toll Tuesday, “At least eight people were killed in the bombardment, and dozens more were wounded<\/strong>, Lebanon\u2019s health ministry said. The Israeli military also targeted towns and villages across southern Lebanon, including areas that were not covered by evacuation warnings<\/strong>, according to the country\u2019s state-run news agency.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So clearly the air raids are expanding<\/strong>, per the report, even after the latest Trump warnings directed at Netanyahu to not do anything that would sabotage a broader Iran peace agreement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

President Trump is still maintaining that Washington and Tehran are in the “final throes” of cementing a deal<\/strong>, and is even suggesting (once again) that an agreement will be done in days<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Asked whether it would be matter of days or weeks, he said it would take \u201ctwo or three days\u201d<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tehran has repeatedly stated any deal should include Lebanon\u2014where Israel has been pressing its war with Iran-backed Hezbollah\u2014and fired missiles at Israel on Sunday.\u00a0That prompted Israeli retaliation, despite US pressure for restraint.<\/em><\/p>\n

Iran fired another salvo before announcing it was ceasing military action, and hours later Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the \u201cfire on that front is contained\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, we’ve been hearing that the war is merely ‘days’ away from ending from basically the start of the war. And yet, all too predictably, the two sides keep going up the escalation ladder in an escalation trap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the White House is saying that it will forge a deal which is good for the American people, whether Israel likes it or not. “Israel may like that, they may not like that \u2014 but this is in the best interest of the United States,”<\/strong> Vice President JD Vance spelled out<\/a> to Fox this week.<\/p>\n

Escalation: Houthis in Yemen unleash ballistic missile on southern Israel, as Hezbollah sends drones on north<\/em><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

But in the meantime Lebanon continues to suffer, also as Hezbollah and most recently the Houthis out of Yemen fire projectiles on Israel. According to some of the latest via Al Jazeera<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

For the residents in Tyre, anybody who is staying behind is in a lot of danger. In the past hour, we\u2019ve seen another Israeli air strike near a Palestinian refugee camp.<\/em><\/p>\n

The strike happened at a roundabout leading into the camp, a very busy location. There\u2019s also a bus station right at the entrance to the el-Buss refugee camp. Initial reports are coming in of a lot of injuries in that attack<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Israel continues to carry out artillery fire on the city, and there are drones flying over Tyre. For anyone trying to get out of the city, the road is quite dangerous. There have been a series of air strikes north of Tyre along the same road people would use to exit<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So the Lebanon conflict is escalating, not growing more stable, which doesn’t bode well for achieving a final Iran deal. Tehran has insisted all along that a deal incorporate the Israel-Lebanon situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Reporter: Did you ask Netanyahu not to hit back?<\/p>\n

Trump: No. I said do what’s right but I want you to stop as quickly as you can. Because they have to stop. It has to do with Lebanon. And it has to stop. We want to get it finished. pic.twitter.com\/lnnstEPFA2<\/a><\/p>\n

Vance had also said in his latest comments to Fox that “I think where the president has been very clear here is that while Israel obviously has some objectives that it has, the United States’ main objective in Iran is to ensure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon.”<\/p>\n

It seems Washington is willing to tolerate some Israeli ‘counter-terror’ action, but only up to a point. Probably the limits will be reached in more renewed bombings of Beirut itself. Tehran has been seeking to impose some red liens on IDF action in Lebanon, and the White House has so far appeared to respond with compromising language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
