Introductions to the evening news bulletins for Thursday 3/26/2026 * Introduction to the “NBN” news bulletins On the twenty-fourth day of the war on Lebanon, the Israeli machine of killing and destruction did not rest, especially deep in the geography of the south. As for the area adjacent to the border, there are real epics written by the resistance fighters in their confrontation with the elite forces of the occupation army, which attempt to penetrate this or that village, causing human and material losses. In the human losses, an Israeli admission that an officer was killed and fifteen soldiers were wounded. The material damage included massacres affecting Merkava tanks, twenty of which were turned into burned scraps by the guided missile fire used by the resistance fighters, especially at the Taybeh and Qantara axis. And beyond the border, the resistance intensified its attacks with assault marches and missile launches on military and strategic targets from Kiryat Shmona and Nahariya, through Haifa, Safed, and Lake Tiberias, all the way to the headquarters of the Ministry of War in central Tel Aviv. The Hebrew media described the last hours as the heaviest in terms of the size of the fire, noting that sixty missiles and five drones were launched in just six hours this morning from Lebanon. Under the weight of resistance fire, Zionist press correspondents noted in their reports from the border region that their army was facing a fierce battle of attrition, and they mocked Israel’s repetition of an experiment that had previously proven unsuccessful in Lebanon. Despite this impasse, Israeli officials and military sources raced to issue threats to continue the war on Lebanon without linking it to the Iran file. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that his army is in the process of expanding the buffer zone in the south, while his Defense Minister Yisrael Katz said that Israel intends to seize a tenth of Lebanon’s area. According to leaks through the Hebrew media, the Israeli enemy entity will move its northern border eight kilometers to the outskirts of Tyre, so that its army will control eighteen advanced sites in the region. On the internal level, a Council of Ministers session was held in the Grand Serail, which was boycotted by the four ministers of the national duo in protest against the decision to expel the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon. As for the fifth minister, Fadi Makki, who had committed to the duo and given his word not to attend the session, he returned and “changed his mind” and chose to sneak into the Grand Serail through a back door to participate in the session, justifying his action in a theoretical statement… knowing that a man’s honor is the word. In Beirut today, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ati visited the presidents of the republic, the House of Representatives, and the government, stressing his country’s support for Lebanon politically, humanitarianly, and financially, noting that Cairo is harnessing its international and regional contacts to prevent the expansion of the circle of escalation. The escalation is being ridden by the American President and the Israeli enemy in their war on Iran. In this escalation, Donald Trump uses the carrot and stick rule, extending a negotiating hand to Tehran and putting the finger of his other hand on the trigger. While everyone awaits the results of the mediators’ movements, led by Pakistan, the Pentagon threatened to deliver a major fatal blow to the Islamic Republic. American media sources said that one of Trump’s options is to seize islands such as Khark, Lark, and Abu Musa. As for Israel, which is wary of Trump making a decision it does not want, it leaked that there is a possibility that the US President will announce a ceasefire by next Saturday. ======= * MTV Introduction: “There is no reversal of the decision to expel the Iranian ambassador, and no one wants to defend Iran.” Under this title, the Council of Ministers was held in the Grand Serail today. Although the four ministers of the duo did not participate, the presence of the fifth Shiite minister, Fadi Makki, suggested that the Shiite component wants to leave the door open to returning to the government, and that the boycott of the Council of Ministers sessions is likely to be a one-time event. This is because the members of the duo know very well that what was written was written, and that the expulsion decision is final, especially since it was taken in solidarity and solidarity with the Presidents of the Republic and the Government, and they do not want the boycott to be permanent so as not to be outside the decision-making circle of the executive authority. In parallel, with the change in political reality, the field reality is changing day after day. Israeli forces, according to Lebanese military sources, took control of the first-tier towns in the south and are seeking to advance into the second-tier towns. According to Israeli reports, the ultimate goal is to strip Hezbollah of all its weapons in the south, which constitutes a lever to push towards disarming the party in all of Lebanon. Regionally, the atmosphere of détente is dissipating, and the possibilities of reaching an agreement between Iran and America are diminishing. Iran, apparently, was unable to accept the fifteen unreasonable American conditions, after describing them as one-sided and unfair. Therefore, the chances of the war continuing are increasing. In this particular context, President Donald Trump expected the American military mission to take four to six weeks, while military information indicated that Washington is studying the possibility of expanding the scope of its military operations, which may include launching ground operations on Iranian lands and islands. ======= * Introduction to “Al-Manar” eliminated the Iranian air force as well as the navy, and defeated the Islamic Republic for the hundredth time in twenty days, and his eyes did not sleep as he searched for someone to appoint him to open the Strait of Hormuz, which the Iranian forces control, and apply it to the energy sources that are Trump’s political and economic lifeline. He is Donald Trump, the crazy leader of a power that is stuck between its difficult choices due to its president’s miscalculations, or which Benjamin Netanyahu and some delusional people in his administration and in the region incited him to do. Today, the world is boiling with the waters and oil of the Gulf, the options are narrowing, the losses are growing, and they threaten the American and his allies before his opponents and enemies. Like Donald Trump, he is Benjamin Netanyahu, who is obsessed with committing massacres and destroying without drawing a horizon for a battle that is eating away at his internal front, whose voices have begun to rise from among the Iranian and Hezbollah missiles that are hitting strategic targets and incurring losses that censorship could not cover all of them, until his settlers stood among the destruction, raising their voices and crying in front of the media lenses, demanding that he stop the war. As for his forces and tanks standing on the embers of the southern villages, this is another sign of his crisis, as every few meters of advance costs them heavy losses in numbers and equipment, while the prestige of his army is damaged by the resistance’s missiles and tanks, and it turns it into scrap in front of the cameras’ lenses, as in Al-Taybeh, Al-Qantara, Deir Sarayan and their sisters. In Lebanon, which some of its people and brothers want to reduce it to scrap and fragment its national fabric out of hatred or political stupidity, and betting on the fire raging in the region without consideration or clarity in vision and path, the fire is boiling politically due to impromptu decisions and the absence of wisdom and responsibility among some, and today it was increased by a Council of Ministers session that was boycotted by the Shiite duo and who secured its charter. A minister, Fadi Makki, reneged, who claimed his presence in the Council of Ministers with the priority of the need to stop the aggression, and thus he failed. It covers the act of a government that puts the country at difficult crossroads. Despite the difficulty of some in the region in diagnosing the situation and the decision, the Yemeni position remained clear with the announcement by the leader of Ansar Allah, Mr. Abdul Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, that Yemen is not neutral in the face of the American-Israeli aggression, and that it is loyal to Iran, which stood with it in the most difficult circumstances, and that it will not hesitate to take any position if events develop. ======= * OTV Introduction In the last quarter of an hour before the fate of the negotiations was decided, whether positive or negative, the American-Iranian escalation reached its peak, whether on the military level, or in terms of threats, as President Donald Trump announced that Tehran must reach a deal or else the gates of hell would open on it, repeating that the Iranians are begging the United States to conclude an agreement, describing them as excellent negotiators and bad fighters. On the other hand, the Iranian official media confirmed that Tehran had delivered to Washington an official response to its proposals, which includes a commitment to ending what it described as aggression and assassinations, creating objective conditions that guarantee the non-recurrence of the war, and ensuring the payment of compensation after it is clearly determined, in addition to ending the war on all fronts, including all resistance factions, according to the Iranian response, which indicated that imposing Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is a natural and legal right of Iran, and will remain so. In parallel, the leader of the Houthis, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, announced that he would not hesitate to take a military stance, hours after information circulated about preparations to open the Bab al-Mandab front after Hormuz. What about the Lebanese front? The horizon is completely blocked for any political solution, despite French and Egyptian efforts, while the Israeli army is penetrating south, where harsh battles are being fought between it and Hezbollah elements. At the governmental level, the cabinet session was held in the government palace despite the Shiite duo’s objection to the decision to expel the Iranian ambassador, through the participation of Minister Fadi Makki. Within the framework of political initiatives, a delegation from the Free Patriotic Movement, headed by MP Gebran Bassil, carried a proposal entitled “Protecting Lebanon” to Baabda Palace and the Serail, to be transported tomorrow to Ain al-Tineh and Bkerke, along with political references and diplomatic actors active in the Lebanese arena. ======= * LBC Introduction: President Trump speaks and the world listens. Today what did he say? In short, controlling Iran’s oil is an “option” on the table, which is similar to the deal that Washington concluded with Venezuela, after the ouster of President Nicolas Maduro. It is an economic war par excellence, and one of the indications of this is that major international newspapers and agencies focus their reports on the economic repercussions for the countries of the globe, and not only for the countries in conflict. Events in the Middle East are accelerating today more than ever before. Wars break out, widespread destruction, alliances change, and the boundaries of interests are rewritten again. In the midst of this turbulent scene, the question urgently arises: Where is the region headed? Or the world? Many people talk about the new Middle East. But the simple, and perhaps harsh, truth is that its features will not be drawn in meetings or statements. Rather, it will be decided on the ground. Whoever will achieve the most gains in this war will be the one who will draw up the road map for the new Middle East… In Lebanon, the issue of the Iranian ambassador came to an end today. There was not a word about the issue in the Council of Ministers, in a session in which the bilateral ministers were absent, and the fifth Shiite minister was present… There is ambiguity and shuffling of papers in the world, and at a time when many are talking about the unknown, we choose to talk about the future. While some people hesitate to invest in this region, especially in Lebanon, we choose to invest in it more. Today we move to a new, more advanced studio, to present the news with the latest technologies, without giving up for a moment our principles or our professionalism. Hence, from this introduction, we hope and strive for Lebanon to be as we have always known it, on the path of progress. From introduction to progress… ======= * Introduction to “Al-Jadeed” On the timing of the ambassador’s expulsion crisis, the Saraya clock struck, and the Council of Ministers entered the time of boycott, as the ministers of the duo Amal and Hezbollah were absent from the session, and they opened a government branch for them in solidarity with the ambassador whose credentials were withdrawn, by a decision of their colleague, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and with bilateral presidential cover from Baabda to the Saraya. In order to break the intensity of the boycott, Minister Fadi Makki entered the session, overcoming great pressure, and submitting a statement in which he opposed the Foreign Minister’s measure, but out of concern for government development, he attended out of his belief in the necessity of organizing public work, confronting challenges, and intensifying political and diplomatic efforts to stop the aggression. In the atmosphere of the session, the focus was on the necessity of ensuring appropriate security conditions internally, and addressing the humanitarian and social repercussions resulting from the displacement crisis. In the new information, there was a complete absence to address the crisis of expelling the Iranian ambassador. A similar absence was recorded regarding the ministers’ boycott of the government session. In this case, the debate will reach a new date next Sunday, when the supposed deadline that the Foreign Ministry gave to the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to leave Lebanese territory expires. From the government session, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam sent messages of solidarity to the Arab Gulf states, as official data showed a census of Iranian attacks that eighty-three percent of them targeted the Gulf states, as well as Jordan, Turkey, and Azerbaijan, compared to only seventeen percent for Israel and Lebanon. Lebanon cannot remain silent while its Arab brothers are exposed to daily attacks that strike their lands. On the Lebanese side, Salam asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs to file a complaint before the Security Council regarding Israel’s blowing up bridges, displacing residents south of the Litani, and carrying out a daily process of annexing lands, which threatens Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. As for the field burdened by escalation and Israeli threats that the Israeli army will reach the third layer of southern villages, an Egyptian political and humanitarian incursion was recorded today, led by Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ati, carrying a thousand tons of food and medical aid, and other tons of goodwill and willingness to make possible efforts to stop the ongoing war. In the new information, the Egyptian minister, during his visit to the headquarters, informed the presidents that Egypt is conducting continuous contacts with international and regional parties, in an attempt to reach a halt to the escalation, pressure Israel to stop the ground incursion, and activate efforts that lead to direct negotiations. But until now, diplomatic efforts are moving from the French previously to the Egyptian now without tangible results. On the waiting side, Lebanon stands anticipating the fate of the US-Iranian negotiations as they proceed along the Pakistani path of communication, as they fluctuate from high ceilings to varying statements, all the way to points that are considered Iranian red lines in the US term sheet, such as arms and ballistic missiles. The Iranian response stressed the need to stop the aggression and assassinations, ensure that the war does not recur, and pay compensation for the damages, in addition to that any agreement to end the war must include all fronts, indicating the interconnected paths of escalation in the region. Between the paper and the response, the world stands in anticipation of the barometer of statements by US President Donald Trump, which range from saying that Iran must conclude an agreement, or else it will face a continuing American attack, to his declaration of indifference to reaching an agreement, all the way to his statement of receiving what he considered an Iranian gift of allowing the passage of ten oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. It is a war of control and influence in which military calculations are intertwined with political and economic bets, to the rhythm of field messages that are sometimes controlled, and sometimes explosive, which raises more than one hypothesis about the strategic shifts expected at the end of the heated confrontation.
