Lebanon foreign minister Abdallah Bou Habib told CNN that Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu days before his death. The temporary ceasefire was called for by US President Joe Biden, France President Emmanuel Macron, and other allies on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last month.
Habib said, “We agreed completely. Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire but (after) consulting with Hezbollah. The (Lebanese House) Speaker Mr Nabih Berri consulted with Hezbollah and we informed the Americans and the French about what happened. And they told us that Mr Netanyahu also agreed on the statement that was issued by both (US and French) presidents (Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron)…They told us that Mr Netanyahu agreed on this and so we also got the agreement of Hezbollah on that and you know what happened since then.”
Following the Hezbollah leader’s death, Iranian authorities are thoroughly investigating possible infiltration within its ranks, including the Revolutionary Guards to senior security officials. They have focused on those who travel abroad or have relatives outside of Iran. As per reports, Tehran grew suspicious of certain members of the Guards who have been travelling to Lebanon. One of these members reportedly asked about Nasrallah’s whereabouts and how long he would remain in those particular locations.
Should have made peace with Hezbollah just the way America made peace with the middle east after 9/11 and how the u.s didn’t kill Osama bin Laden right?
I mean the war on terror is widely regarded to be one of the biggest disasters in American history so… uh… you’re not making the point you think you’re making.
At least during the War on Terror, some effort was put into minimizing civilian casualties. Not enough, but we did try. The rest of the world abandoned total war post WWII. With the advancements in technology both surveillance and accurate munitions, there’s no real excuse for the way Israel has been conducting itself in Gaza.
A million Iraqi civilians died in the US wars on Iraq. They carpet bombed and let so many cities just burn.

Sure if by try you mean we just said oh crap we’re killing so many kids let’s just change the definition of hostile to include any young boy and then put a nice bow on it.
I’m pointing out the absurdity of Americans suddenly moralizing and being champions of Arab people. Racist fucks kill half the world then tell us who we should be mad at.
No, even better. They could have learned from our (the US) mistakes the way Biden urged them to. Why go through what you just witnessed did not work?
