Israel Fears Ceasefire and Expedites Attacks – Contradictory Statements from Trump and Tehran

Israel, fearing a potential ceasefire that could be promoted by the US, appears to be expediting its military operations against Iran and Lebanon. According to Israeli sources, the priority is to destroy the Iranian arms industry within the next 48 hours. Meanwhile, there is a deadlock in negotiations between the US and Iran, with each side rejecting the other's terms. Donald Trump proposed 15 conditions for ending the war, which Iran rejected, proposing five of its own, such as a complete cessation of attacks and recognition of its sovereign rights. The US responded with threats, stating that Trump is ready to take harsh measures if Iran does not accept defeat. Iran, for its part, warned that it would attack vital infrastructure in the region in the event of a threat to its islands. The situation in the region remains tense, with the diplomatic scene characterized by contradictions and threats, while military actions are escalating.
