π¨ IRAN-US DEAL ON THE BRINK β 24 HOURS IS ALL IT TOOK π¨
A historic US-Iran agreement, signed just this week, is already unraveling.
π What's happening:
π΄ Iran has suspended its entire **60-day negotiation period** with Washington
π΄ Tehran says Israeli strikes in **Lebanon** are a direct violation of the deal's first clause β which demanded a halt to operations "on all fronts, including Lebanon"
π΄ VP JD Vance scrapped a planned flight to Switzerland for the first round of technical talks
π΄ Netanyahu β facing elections this year β refuses to pull Israeli forces out of southern Lebanon until Hezbollah is "eliminated"
βοΈ Israel and Hezbollah have since agreed to renew a ceasefire, but the diplomatic damage may already be done.
π¬ Trump signs the ink β and a war 6,000 miles from Lebanon almost tears it apart in a day. Can peace deals survive battlefield realities, or are they doomed the moment the cameras leave?
