US ‘switched sides’ by handing Iran a Lebanon victory, Israeli expert warns as Tehran recruits for Hezbollah
Peloni: Indeed, it is interesting that Israel worked quite closely with the US during the Iran war only to wake up facing the Trump’s wrath on the day afterwards, in which the IRGC is being invited as partners in the deconfliction mechanism which OVERSEES Israel rather than including Washington’s former partner in the war. We have seen some serious shifts in US policies in recent days, but the formal linkage of Lebanon to Iran, and including Iranian oversight to determine US policy on Israel’s activities in Lebanon presents significant support for the conclusion that Washington has switched sides.
The newly established five-nation deconfliction mechanism for Lebanon is a catastrophic strategic betrayal by Washington, a former Israeli intelligence official warned, saying that US President Donald Trump has effectively “switched sides” by handing Iran a diplomatic victory and curtailing Israel’s freedom of action against Hezbollah.



Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government have served as some of Hamas’s most loyal supporters and protectors, and spent years defending Hamas, legitimizing it, funding Hamas-related activities, and providing it with diplomatic and political cover. Why would anyone seriously believe that they will now help dismantle the very organization they have nurtured? Pictured: Erdogan meets with Hamas Leadership in Istanbul, April 20, 2024.
