Summary
A major ceasefire has just been declared between Israel and Hezbollah but the bigger story may be Iran's response. Reports indicate Iran is willing to hand over enriched uranium and abandon its nuclear ambitions under mounting pressure. Meanwhile, Israel remains deep inside Lebanon, reshaping the security landscape while Hezbollah faces its weakest position in years. The question now is whether this moment leads to lasting peace… or sets the stage for what comes next.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, it's Amir Tsarafati. I'm live here from Southern California, and you probably heard the big news, the big news that President Trump requested Netanyahu to hold the fire with Hezbollah for 10 days. |
| 0:19.7 | And a ceasefire has been declared between Israel and Hezbollah for 10 days and a ceasefire has been declared between Israel and Hezbollah. |
| 0:26.8 | And not only that, the president also said that he talked both to Netanyahu and President |
| 0:34.1 | Josef Aoun of Lebanon and he's going to invite both of them to the White |
| 0:39.7 | House and apparently Lebanon will be added to the Abraham's Accords |
| 0:46.7 | Abraham Accords somehow probably you're asking yourself what's going on here? |
| 0:55.5 | Well, apparently, the pressure on Iran is working, but Iran needed some achievement. |
| 1:06.4 | And Iran requested that the ceasefire will include Lebanon in order to show that it still has some control and some say and somehow will be perceived as a guardian of its own proxies. |
| 1:28.3 | However, everybody in Lebanon understands that it's not Iran's strength that led to the ceasefire, |
| 1:39.3 | but it's Hezbollah's weakness, Iran's weakness, and it's the strength of the possibility to achieve |

| 2:20.0 | to remove the existential threat from Iran. The big news, though, came minutes later when President |
| 2:30.2 | Trump said live on camera that Iran has agreed to hand over its nuclear something, which |
| 2:43.2 | means the enriched uranium, hand over to the United States. |
| 2:48.0 | In other words, Iran is willing to give up its nuclear dream in order to survive. |
| 2:54.9 | And for that, President Trump said, well, in that case, I am going to ask Bibi for ceasefire. |
| 3:02.3 | And when Bibi Netanyahu heard that, he said, well, if we can get two-four, no nuclear program for Iran and peace with Lebanon, why not? |
| 3:13.3 | Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed, we still have a problem. Hezbollah still has some rockets, not ballistic missiles, but rockets, and we will need to take care of that. |
| 3:25.2 | But Israel, and now comes another point that you have to understand. |
