Trump to allow Iran to dictate terms, protecting its deadliest proxy right before major attack?

Hezbollah claimed Iran’s latest ceasefire proposal included guarantees for Lebanon as Israeli strikes intensified across the south. The group said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sent a message promising Tehran would “never abandon” Hezbollah amid fears of renewed U.S.-Israel military action. Reports also claimed Pakistani mediators carried Iran’s proposal to Washington. Meanwhile, Lebanon insisted its security talks with Israel must remain separate from U.S.-Iran negotiations. Fresh Israeli evacuation warnings and strikes in Nabatieh have now fueled fears that the Lebanon front could once again explode into a wider regional war.
