Israel angry about U.S. deal with Iran - who will be the boss?

• Netanyahu finally spoke about the deal. Middle East Spectator reports: ‘We will remain in the occupied areas in Lebanon. We will maintain the security zone.’ Oops, there goes the deal....
• Yair Golan, leader of Israel’s opposition Democratic Party: 'A hard morning for Israel. Israelis are waking up to a deal made over Israel's head.'
• Israeli Defense Minister Katz: 'We oppose withdrawing from southern Lebanon despite the immense pressure exerted on us. We will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza indefinitely. The areas where we are present in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza will remain uninhabited.' There you go - Israel already shooting down the deal. Now we will find out just how much influence Trump has on Tel Aviv. 

• Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: 'The agreement with Iran is bad for Israel and for the entire free world. Period. The joint campaign had many achievements in weakening Iran, and they will not go to waste. We will have to continue the campaign to topple the regime ourselves and in creative ways, and ensure that Iran will never have nuclear weapons.'
• Hezbollah has praised the Iran-US agreement and says it’s the fruit of the Iranian people’s perseverance and the wise leadership of the Islamic Revolution. They thanked Tehran for its role in pursuing Lebanon’s rights in all negotiations. Addressing the Zionist regime, the statement said: “The Resistance will never allow a return to the conditions before March 2, and will continue to powerfully defend its sovereignty and land.”
• Iran’s MFA: 'The US is obliged to fulfill its promises, and any breach of contract or sabotage by its allies in the region will also be directly the responsibility of the American side. Lebanon’s name is mentioned three times in the MoU. Respect for Lebanon's territorial integrity and sovereignty is part of the MoU.'

• The MoU states that “the future management of maritime services in the Strait of Hormoz” will be determined by Iran and Oman. The explicit use of the term “maritime services” means Iran’s right to collect fees. The text says Iran will only accept free passage for ships for 60 days. But after these 60 days, Iran can benefit from financial revenues from commercial ships through the strait, by providing safety, navigation, environmental, and insurance services.
• A potential US-Iran peace deal could be derailed by Israel unless Washington takes firm control of its Middle East ally, veteran war correspondent and political analyst Elijah J. Magnier told Sputnik. Looking after Israel will be “a difficult task” for Trump now that Iran has accepted concessions from the US and mediators. Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding, Iran will bomb Israel immediately in the event of any violation, Magnier explained. He warned that if Israel violates it, “that will be a sabotage directed toward Trump, and it's up to the Americans to deal with” the situation.

• Senior US official tells Reuters that Trump is prepared to release frozen funds and relieve sanctions. Releasing frozen funds & relieve sanctions (on oil) are part of the MoU. 
• Whether the Iran-US deal goes according to plan or shatters into pieces, US (and Israel) will continue with their hybrid warfare against Iran. They’ll continue to indirectly influence individuals within the political system, continue to instigate vulnerable explosive groups on the pretext of socio economical reasons, continue to increase CIA plots under the pretext of for example preserving nature heritage (they’ve done this in the past), continue to sabotage scientific advancements (such as selling defective & faulty parts for Iran’s space program), influencing cultural stream, etc….

• Fars News says after the attack on Beirut, Iran cancelled its negotiations and prepared to attack the Zionist regime. However, in the end, with last-minute concessions offered by Trump, including preserving Lebanon’s territorial integrity, Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon’s borders, and the immediate lifting of the blockade, Iran was persuaded to refrain from carrying out its attack. It was also agreed that the legal framework for passage through the waters of the Persian Gulf would be regulated in cooperation between Iran and Oman.

• 17 nations of the Global South have faced travel bans and/or visa restrictions, solidifying FIFA’s commitment to upholding its status as a white supremacist structure. International sport has been entirely subordinated to imperialist aggression. 

• Senior advisor to the Syrian President: 'America proposed that we join the fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon, but we declined. We are not interested in interfering in Lebanon.'
• Trump's big night on the White House lawn with the smash-mouth fight contest - just up his alley. What has the presidency become in the US? A laughing stock to the whole world.

• A USAF B-52 Stratofortress plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Edwards Air Force Base in California. Nearly a dozen people are reported to have died in the incident, which occurred when the aircraft had just taken off from Edwards reported CNN, citing sources at the crash site.
