Lebanon’s crisis has grown more tangled, as "Israel," in coordination with U.S. envoys, has shifted the spotlight from occupation and the right to retaliate, toward an internal standoff between Beirut and Hezbollah, amid mounting talk of a second phase in the group’s disarmament plan.

Since Operation al-Aqsa Flood and the devastating Israeli war on Gaza that followed, U.S. military assistance to "Israel" has ballooned, totaling more than $21.7 billion in weapons and military hardware, according to Brown University’s Costs of War project.

Newly obtained images of munition remnants found in southern Lebanon reveal clear signs that “Israel” used internationally banned cluster bombs on a wide scale during its thirteen-month war on the country.

Lebanon faces a delicate balancing act, navigating internal political rivalries amid growing U.S. and Israeli Occupation pressure to secure concessions and avoid the specter of war.

Is war looming between the United States and Venezuela? The question has gained traction following a sharp escalation, with the U.S. deploying warships, a nuclear submarine, and fighter jets to the Caribbean, citing anti-drug trafficking operations, alongside skirmishes with Venezuelan aircraft.
