Iran trades Hormuz for Trump throwing Netanyahu under the bus [View all]

And when Netanyahu breaks the ceasefire, which one could be forgiven for taking as an inevitability, he will be the bad guy when Iran closes the Strait in return. I don’t know any other way to read this:

Trump Declares Israel ‘PROHIBITED’ From Bombing Lebanon After New Iran Deal: ‘Enough Is Enough!’

Wonder how Netanyahu feels about being “prohibited” by Trump.

Also: “Hezboolah”.

Trump: "The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear 'Dust.' This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!
