YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“There's somebody at the table now to monitor the ceasefire, who will be willing to push back and actually impose consequences if and when Israel violates the agreement. This is a huge tectonic shift – Lebanon now has leverage like it's never had before.”
Tehran’s clear victory in Trump’s unhinged war of choice on Iran has Israel and its allies in Lebanon’s anti-resistance camp spiraling. Facing their exclusion from ceasefire negotiations — and from defining the postwar balance of power – Israelis are circulating meaningless petitions demanding a seat at the table and Beirut is literally begging J.D. Vance to oust Iran from theirs. But as BT Live’s Rania Khalek explains, the region really has no choice but to accept a Lebanon where Iran has influence and Hezbollah is powerful. And if Israel is ultimately forced to withdraw from Lebanon’s south, “anyone with a brain is going to understand that is the doing of Iran.”
