Introductions to the evening news bulletins for Tuesday 5/5/2026* Introduction to the “NBN” news bulletin: The “Freedom Project” adventure committed by US President Donald Trump under the slogan of opening the Strait of Hormuz fueled the boiling point in the region and returned diplomatic paths to the stage of suffocation. This is because the American move was not part of an understanding with Tehran, and Trump bet on it to cause a quick shock that would result in ship convoys crossing the strait and restore lost confidence to the market, but That did not happen, and it seemed that the “Freedom Project” was a dead-end project, as Abbas Araqchi put it. Washington wanted deterrence without war, but Tehran did not show any decline in the size of the military display, which leaves the possibility of friction without practically opening the Strait of Hormuz. As a result of these possibilities, American media expected the resumption of major combat operations against Iran, and others suggested that Trump would authorize a military response within days. In conjunction with these expectations, Hebrew media reported that The United States and Israel are considering launching strikes on missile and energy facilities in the Islamic Republic, and indicated that the occupying army has raised the state of alert in its ranks, while shelters have been opened in several areas such as Ashdod and Rishon Lezion for fear of renewed Iranian bombing. Trump’s latest statements included contradictory positions that he has always adopted recently, as he threatened Iran that it would be removed from the face of the earth if it attacked American ships that are implementing the Freedom Project in the Strait of Hormuz, but at the same time he stressed that Tehran has become more flexible in peace negotiations. The second part of Trump’s position was supported by an American official who told Axios that American negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are exchanging drafts with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, who is flying today to China. In Lebanon, the blatant Israeli violation of the truce is still in effect in the aggressive field, whether south of the Litani River or north of it, amid fears of expanding the aggression based on threats, the latest of which was expressed by an Israeli official who said that if the opportunity arises, Operationally, we will strike senior Hezbollah officials in Beirut as well. The most impudent and dangerous positions were announced by Israeli Minister Yitzalel Smotrich, who said that the war must end by changing Israel’s borders in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria. He also said: I do not care about the number of dead enemies, what concerns me is controlling areas of their lands. In addition, Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri stressed the need for all international organizations, especially UNESCO, to play their role in the crimes of Israeli targeting that affect archaeological, heritage, religious, educational and civil sites in various southern villages, cities and towns.* Introduction to MTV from Tehran to Beirut: The drums of war are beating again. The UAE air defenses responded to missile and drone attacks coming from Tehran. These attacks are taking place for the second day in a row, in the wake of the escalation of US-Iranian tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. In parallel, the US Secretary of Defense revealed that the Pentagon is fully prepared to take action against Iran, while CNN reported that Tel Aviv is coordinating with the United States of America for a possible new round of strikes against Tehran. For its part, the Wall Street Journal confirmed that the US President is likely to authorize a military response against Iran within days. In Lebanon, the picture is not calmer. The internal political atmosphere is tense, and the situation in the south is explosive. Source of internal congestion: vertical alignment between two directions. The first is for direct negotiations with Israel, and the second is completely against it. As for the borders, what is certain is that the Israeli military machine is preparing to expand the scope of its strikes. An Israeli source confirmed to international news agencies that Israel is considering the possibility of expanding its military operations against Hezbollah in various parts of Lebanon. This is what Netanyahu reported to President Trump, as he told him that Israel is interested in resuming high-tempo fighting against Hezbollah. The matter has begun to appear in the south, which has witnessed mutual escalation. In addition to the Israeli attacks, targeting, and evacuation warnings, Hezbollah published six videos and issued fifteen military statements, proving that the military situation is rapidly deteriorating, and that the possibilities of all-out war are increasing. The beginning of Hezbollah’s marches. Hezbollah promotes its Iranian composite weapons as a national industry, while the industrial sector disavows them.* Introduction to Al-Manar: The skies of the south are raining with drones and helicopters, and its land is overflowing with targeted, guided missiles, including surface-to-air missiles that chased a military helicopter in the sky of Bayyada and sustained a confirmed hit. It is certain that between our land and our sky, the Zionist fluctuates with his crimes and disappointments and is unable to impose his equations, despite his wreaking great destruction and committing massacres against innocent people in the face of a truce that he kills every day with bombing, raids, and negotiations stained with the blood of children, the elderly, and women. Meanwhile, the men of God in the field write with their blood a new history of heroism and redemption, and the lenses of the military media document the occupation’s tanks, vehicles, and soldiers as they They surrendered under the fire, missiles and helicopters of the resistance fighters. What is new today is heavy showers that hit their targets from Al-Bayada, Al-Qantara, Rab Thalatheen and Rashaf to Al-Quzah, Adshit Al-Qusayr and Deir Siryan. Although the enemy is discreet about the extent of the real losses among its soldiers and officers, its military and strategic experts reveal every day the extent of the impasse that has left their army stuck between daily attrition and poor strategic and political options. As for the Lebanese politicians. There is no one to hide their misdeeds in front of their people, and the American ambassador in Beirut has turned their sovereignty into a dead body, and he acts with the impudence of the High Commissioner, dictating their choices, threatening some of their people, fueling strife and manipulating civil peace, and no one responds with a position, statement, or even a hint that preserves the minimum level of national dignity, neither the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor the government, nor the Presidency of the Republic. As for the people of the land, they have confirmed to Michel Issa with missiles and marches that they are most aware that Benjamin Netanyahu is not a bogeyman and neither he nor his American master nor all his tools will be, and they will bury in the soil of the south his illusions and projects for Greater Israel, but they know that he is a treacherous, deceitful murderer and a major war criminal, and with someone like him there will be neither peace nor surrender. In the region there is boiling in the Strait of Hormuz and clashing positions and waves, and a call from the depth of the escalation was stated by Islamabad, declaring that great progress is being made by its mediation on the path of negotiations. And while Donald Trump During his recklessness and manipulation on the brink of the abyss, the Iranian assertion was that a new equation was being formed in the Strait of Hormuz and was being stabilized, according to the Speaker of the Shura Council, Muhammad Baqir Qalibaf, who accused the United States of America and its allies of endangering the security of navigation and energy transfer, blaming them for the repercussions of this on the region and the world. The latter, ten days before the expected visit of US President Donald Trump to China, which Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived today, noting that yesterday the American and Iranian presidents exchanged messages related to the Iranian file in a lengthy call. Today, the US Secretary of Defense confirmed that Iran will not be allowed to prevent unconcerned countries from crossing an international waterway, addressing the Iranian side by saying: If you attack American forces or civilian commercial ships, you will face American firepower. Overwhelming and devastating. As for the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, he announced that the US Army is ready to resume broad combat operations against Iran, if orders are received. On the other hand, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman confirmed that the negotiations are taking place in an atmosphere of deep mistrust and suspicion. As for the Pakistani Foreign Minister, he asserted that the solution being studied aims to achieve a win-win formula for both parties, stressing that there is hope for success with the support of many capitals. As for Lebanon, and while the third preliminary leg of the negotiations with Israel is awaited in Washington, the positions remained as they were of mutual caution, between one team betting on the resumption of the wide-ranging Israeli war against Lebanon, and an opposing team that mortgaged its fate and the fate of the country on the fate of the Iranian path. In the local political movement, a visit by the head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, to Ain al-Tineh was prominent today. Information in this context indicated that the meeting was practical, during which specific steps were agreed upon. Bassil had pointed out from the headquarters of the Second Presidency that Lebanon was being subjected to Israeli attacks, systematic destruction and displacement from the south on the one hand, and on the other hand to internal turmoil that pushed everyone to be more concerned about internal peace by confirming the ideas of the proposal to protect Lebanon that had previously been presented by the movement. The impasse and the spiral: The war has entered its third month, whether in Iran or Lebanon. It is the type of war that is fought under the title of “existential war.” Israel considers it an existential war. Iran considers it an existential war for its regime, while Hezbollah considers it an existential war for its survival or demise as a military force. In existential wars, losses are no longer primary, but rather secondary, because those who fight them consider existence more valuable than losses. With this concept, no one can expect how this war, which generates new or innovative weapons every day, will end. What is new in these wars today: We start from Washington, which when it wakes up, the world wakes up: President Donald Trump underestimated Iran’s military capabilities, and when asked about what might constitute a violation of the fragile ceasefire, he said, “They know what not to do.” The UAE Ministry of Defense announced today that its air defenses It is dealing with what it described as “attacks” with missiles and drones coming from Iran, in attacks for the second day in a row after a period of relative calm that lasted four weeks since the United States announced a ceasefire. Today, three Western diplomats said that members of the UN Security Council will begin talks on Tuesday on a draft resolution supported by the United States and Bahrain that may lead to imposing sanctions on Iran, and may authorize the use of force if Tehran does not stop its attacks and threats to commercial shipping in the Strait. Hormuz. Mallya, Georgieva, Director of the International Monetary Fund, in an interview with CNBC: Even if the war ended today, it would take at least 3 to 4 months to deal with its repercussions. In Lebanon, nothing new has occurred in the file of the legations, while attention is on the bulldozing and destruction in the south. Its whiteness after a darkness that lasted for about two decades, and like climate change, politics was affected by global warming, summer and winter under one roof, as the Star Square Observatory recorded the movement of the parliamentary tectonic plates at the fault of the General Amnesty Law. With shouting and verbal clashes, the discussion session ended with no pardon when possible and no pardon for the past, so the papers of the draft law were referred to the “House of Political Fatwa” for consideration and further sessions to be held before the ruling is pronounced, which is still a long way off and while pushing Lebanon to negotiate “with the cannon” at the table in light of the most violent Israeli escalation since the extension of the ceasefire. The President of the Republic, Joseph Aoun, is firm on his “oath” that the meeting with Netanyahu is premature now, which defuses the internal dispute because the meeting did not meet the conditions for stopping the war and Israeli withdrawal first, and he did well in not offering a free gift in the form of a souvenir photo, the primary beneficiaries of which are two: Trump on the threshold of the midterm elections and Netanyahu on the threshold of the Knesset elections. While Aoun adhered to negotiations as the only remaining path after running out of solutions, he spared Lebanon from falling into the trap that Trump is setting for Iran on Lebanese soil by withholding its hand and isolating it from the Lebanese file after including it in its amended proposal as an arena for stopping the war against it and going to the summit meeting next week with his Chinese counterpart by completing the Lebanese-Israeli meeting. If the Americans and the Iranians disagree, then we should, and if they agree, then we should, and we only have the responsibility not to be a scapegoat or to go as a team in the game of nations. This is according to the President of the Republic, by rallying around the army to be the only one responsible for security in the south. Otherwise, the loss will include everyone. This coincided with the position of the head of the strong Lebanon Bloc, Gebran Bassil, who considered, after his meeting with President Nabih Berri in Ain al-Tineh, that the war abroad is much easier than the war at home. As for the Lebanese panorama, the regional scene settled on Iran’s resumption of attacking the Emirati neighbor with a new batch of missiles and drones for the second time in two days, during which Tehran shifted the course of lifting the siege on it to imposing a siege by fire on its neighbors as a way to avoid being accused of violating the ceasefire. In response to the humanity-encrusted freedom project that Trump pushed across the strait without coordination with Tehran, between guerrilla warfare and piracy, Trump cut a furrow in the water that will quickly sink without lifting the double blockade from both countries and indicates a renewal of the war between them. Since Trump holds all the cards, he tried his luck with the Freedom Project and turned into a “merchandise savior,” using time as Iran’s magic weapon. In an update to his latest positions, he sent her encrypted messages that she knew what to do and said that the naval blockade on her was like a block of steel and she was now trying to survive. After he indicated that she wanted to conclude an agreement, he described what she was doing as games, but Iran had another point of view. In a version of its new positions, it announced a new equation being formed in the Strait of Hormuz and among the lines of fire. Its Foreign Ministry affirmed that true security in the Gulf can only be achieved through local cooperation between the countries of the region and decided to focus the current negotiations on ending the war instead of wasting time on complex issues. The Americans, if they are truly serious about diplomacy, should seize the opportunity and there is no military solution to a political crisis. This is what Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said before heading to China in a short-distance race before the “elephant” arrives in the country. “Dragon.”
