Summary
Tuesday night, the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire. Pakistan brokered it. Both sides confirmed. Markets surged. Oil dropped 13%. Families in Beirut packed their bags to go home. Twelve hours later, Israel launched 50 jets into Lebanon. 100 targets. 160 munitions. 203 dead. The largest strike of the entire war — after the ceasefire. Netanyahu said Lebanon wasn't included. Trump backed him over his own mediator. Called 203 dead "a separate skirmish." In this episode: — What the ceasefire deal actually was and why Trump accepting Iran's terms was a concession — How Netanyahu vetoed the deal within hours — Who inside the White House is fighting for peace and who's fighting for Israel — The inner circle: Kushner, Witkoff, Rubio, Huckabee, Adelson, and the structure around Trump — Iran's response and why the ceasefire is collapsing in real time — The pattern: Israel has torpedoed every peace process for decades — What comes next if the restraint faction loses — ground troops, Kharg Island, and the point of no return Sources: NPR, Al Jazeera, CBS, NBC, CNN, Axios, Washington Post, Foreign Policy, Times of Israel, PBS, Fox News
