Deal on BRINK OF COLLAPSE, JD Vance Calls Out Israel

The Iran deal and regional ceasefires are collapsing under Israeli actions and internal political pressures despite last-minute negotiations.

• Lebanon offensive — Israeli forces launched attacks that killed at least four soldiers and 28 civilians before a renewed ceasefire took effect at 4 p.m. local time [01:00].

• Iran warning — Tehran told the US it would strike Israel without prior notice if attacks continued, skipping the usual demonstrative response [02:17].

• Ceasefire terms — Israel claims the deal permits ongoing strikes on civilian infrastructure and no withdrawal from occupied territory [03:22].

• JD Vance criticism — The vice president stated Trump is Israel's only remaining powerful ally and that two-thirds of its defensive weapons come from US funding [10:01].

• Israeli politics — Netanyahu's cabinet faces internal hardliners like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich who reject deals while Netanyahu avoids public appearances [21:24].

• Public reaction — Israeli polls show Trump trust dropping to 13 percent amid fears over lost US support and stalled elections [26:32].

• Why are Israeli northern residents returning despite active drone strikes and uninhabitable conditions?

• How does Netanyahu's push to delay elections affect prospects for a stable Iran deal?
