Leopards Ate My Face

Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

lol Israel is 100% going to spike this “deal”

Since April, the White House has not replied to requests for further information about Trump’s inability to achieve world peace. Trump has also failed to accomplish even his more modest goal, as the region remains mired in conflict. Israel continued its war on Lebanon on Sunday and said it was not involved in the new pact. “Trump’s agreement does not bind us. … We are not party to this agreement,” Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir wrote on Telegram on Sunday.

To wit, last I checked they’re still bombing the shit out of Lebanon

Trump gave Iran a great deal just so he could announce the peace on his dumb birthday. If the US keeps their end of the deal (it's Trump after all) Iran may also keep theirs and leave Lebanon be for now. They aren't doing that well on the homefront as the IS has been bombing military targets and civilian infrastructure. The hits on civilian infrastructure especially will have worsened the internal unrest that Iran was dealing with before the war start. We also don't know how much control the new Ayatollah has over the country as he has basically been in hiding all this time to avoid being assassinated by the US or Israel. The peace deal would allow them to start rebuilding and focus their efforts fully on dealing with internal unrest. And they could also just use the new funds that will be unfrozen by the new deal to covertly fund Hezbollah and have them fight against Israel in Lebanon.

But yea it's a shit deal and it will most likely get worse for everyone.

An end to Israeli hostility in Lebanon is one of the 14 points of the deal, if Israel continues, the deal will be null.

Oh darn, another round of stock manipulation. I am sure Trump and company will wipe away their tears with all their money.
