Fighting Between Israel and Hezbollah Already

As many expected, fighting between Israel and Hezbollah started almost as soon as the deal was signed.

One aspect of the deal was never valid to begin with, the first point.

1) The US and Iran and their allies "declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon."

Legally, you cannot impose binding conditions on parties that do not sign a deal.

You and I cannot make a deal that we can have all the peaches on another neighbor's tree, if the other neighbor does not sign the deal.

It was an act of sheer desperation by Trump to agree to point one. The rest of the deal, however, is valid.

Desperation Is Obvious

Truth Social: We didn't meet out of desperation, Iran did. They are FINISHED! We'll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!

Stupidity Is Obvious

Truth Social: The War has diminished Iran! It doesn't, any longer, have an Air Force, a Navy, Antiaircraft Equipment, Radar, or practically anything else, and yet the Dumocrats say that Iran is better off now than it was four months ago. Can you imagine getting away with that??? How stupid can some people be??? President DJT

Trump "Re-Truthed" both of those messages.

But nothing signals desperation more than repeating messages that you were not desperate, while signing deals that are not even legally valid.

Please note that four Israeli soldiers and at least 18 people in Lebanon were killed during fighting that started that immediately started.

But we have another ceasefire as well.
