* Introduction to the NBN news bulletin: Although the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, mocked the news that spoke of the approaching agreement between Tehran and Washington, international interest continues in US President Donald Trump’s announcement that the agreement is “very possible” before his expected visit to China next week and after “very good” talks that took place during the past twenty-four hours. It is true that Trump has recently been making more reckless announcements and predictions whose veracity is questionable, but many developments and elements have gathered in recent days and injected a dose of hope this time, while the door of caution must be kept open. These elements extended from the failure of Trump’s project for the Strait of Hormuz to Saudi Arabia’s refusal to allow the use of its bases in the process of reopening the vital strait. Optimism about an imminent agreement took its toll on global markets, with oil prices falling by seven percent, while Trump’s advisors’ concern about Republicans paying a political price for rising fuel prices rose. They are now eager to end the war, seeking to lower prices before the midterm elections, according to what the Wall Street Journal confirmed. Optimism also appeared in the statements of the Pakistani mediator, who welcomed news of the possibility of signing an American-Iranian agreement, refusing to disclose the location of the signing, although he stressed that his country would be proud if it took place in Islamabad. If the Pakistani Foreign Ministry indicated that it had not received Tehran’s response to Washington’s latest proposal, it expected to receive it today. Waiting is the expected progress on the American path. The Iranians acted with unsuppressed anger in Tel Aviv, whose officials and media slandered the anticipated agreement with the vilest descriptions, deeming it extremely bad and would constitute a lifeline for the Islamic Republic. One of the outbursts of Israeli anger came out of the Lebanese gate, considering that the solution proposal would limit the freedom of action of the occupying army in Lebanon, especially since Iran insisted on including the truce on all fronts in the agreement being developed with the United States. Israeli anger also translated into an aggressive escalation, as its raids reached the southern suburb of Beirut for the first time since the supposed, extended, and announced ceasefire came into effect on the seventeenth of last April by the American President. As for the south, air strikes by military aircraft continued. And marching, as well as artillery shelling, and these attacks included several towns, but the most violent of them was in Nabatieh and its region, where the enemy did not neutralize the rescue and ambulance teams, and resulted in the rise of a new group of martyrs. =======* Introduction to “MTV” on May 7, 2026. The Lebanese remember May 7, 2008. On that glorious day, as Hassan Nasrallah called it, Hezbollah invaded Beirut and attacked it. He invaded it and destroyed what he destroyed, believing that he was destroying Tel Aviv. Today, here is the war to support Iran and avenge Khamenei, leading to the destruction of a third of the south and the displacement of its people, in addition to the deaths of about 2,700 people and tens of thousands wounded. In 2026, as in 2008, the cause of the disaster is one: Hezbollah’s weapons. When he turns to the interior, he sows killing and destruction, and when he turns to Israel, he invites the occupation again, and all of this under the bright slogan: resistance. What kind of resistance is this? When instead of protecting and building, it retreats and demolishes? What kind of resistance is this, which only sows ruin, destruction and death? At this time, the Israeli military machine continues its targeting and strikes, while it has been confirmed that the third round of preliminary talks between Lebanon and Israel will be held next Thursday and Friday in Washington, with the Lebanese delegation headed by Ambassador Simon Karam. As for the meeting between President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it will not happen now because the circumstances are not favorable, neither Lebanese nor Arab. Regionally, Iran is expected to respond today to the American proposal to end the war, amid reports indicating that Washington and Tehran are close to reaching a limited and temporary agreement to stop the war. Toward escalation in the Lebanese arena, in search of cards to obstruct the negotiations, or to cover up the failure of its promises to its settlers. With its cards and all its justifications burning in the field and with the resistance’s mastery of managing confrontations, the occupation crossed all the alleged red lines in the ceasefire agreement, and reached with its aggression the southern suburb of Beirut, carrying out treacherous raids that destroyed residential apartments and led to the death of martyrs and the injury of a number of wounded. Even though the aggression was on the suburb It is the first of its kind since the American promise of a truce and the neutralization of Greater Beirut from the Zionist fire. The Lebanese authority did not stop at this dangerous development, and insisted on a semblance of neutrality. It did not utter a word of condemnation or denunciation of the aggression that led to the martyrdom of Lebanese, as long as this authority told them – from the top of its pyramid to the bottom of its political and media tools – that it was the only one responsible for their protection and security throughout Lebanese territory, unless it had dropped their Lebanese identity. As her American friend wanted. But the effects of this aggression, accompanied by the authority’s denial of the blood of its sons, are ensured by the resistance fighters with all valor in the field, who are intent on destroying the Zionist army, its prestige, and its reputation in front of its settlers, attacking its occupying forces with attacks that kill its soldiers and destroy its vehicles, tanks, and iron domes, as in Al-Bayyada, Shama, and the flags of Al-Shaab, Bint Jbeil, and Deir Sarayan, and he was unable to inform him. Covering up all the losses, they reported ten casualties among soldiers and officers, a number of them critical. Their experts had no qualms in declaring that all the massacres and destruction committed by their army in Lebanon, the expansion of the raids, and the displacement of many additional villages every day, are nothing but a matter of revenge and pressure on the environment of the resistance and its people, with the inability to impose an equation that protects their soldiers from the attacks they called “the hammer of the sky.” And in the name of all heavenly laws, logical and national rules, they were right. Sidon took a loud and clear stance with the President of the International Union of Resistance Scholars, His Eminence Sheikh Maher Hammoud, who issued a fatwa requiring us to stand by the resistance and reject any direct negotiating path with the enemy. In the course of Islamabad, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry welcomed the news of the possibility of signing an agreement between America and Iran, adding that her country, as a mediator, would not reveal the details of the issue in order not to lose the trust of both sides. With all confidence, the Iranians were affirming their openness to any diplomatic path that preserves the right, sovereignty, and unity among the Iranians, while remaining steadfast in their position of power in confronting any new American deception or aggression, as the President of the Republic Masoud Pazashkian indicated, quoting the Leader of the Revolution. Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei, after a meeting with him, said that the Iranians, with their unity and steadfastness, are creating a glorious history. =======* OTV Introduction: The American President is rushing to reach an agreement with Iran days before his expected visit to China, and Iran is waiting, as a spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs revealed this evening that Tehran has not yet reached a conclusion regarding the latest American proposal, and has not provided any response to Washington. Meanwhile, Reuters revealed that Washington and Tehran are close to reaching a limited and temporary agreement to stop the war through a draft that constitutes a framework for action, pointing to a mutual reduction in the ambition to reach a comprehensive settlement of the nuclear program and the fate of highly enriched uranium. Reuters indicated that the new plan is based on a short-term memorandum of understanding that will be implemented in three stages: ending the war, resolving the Hormuz crisis, and opening a thirty-day window for negotiation. As for Lebanon, the US State Department has set May 14 and 15 as the date for the third leg of the Lebanese-Israeli talks in Washington. In this context, Arab media reported from an official Lebanese source that the Lebanese presidency informed Washington that the meeting now with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may lead to aborting stability efforts, revealing an American understanding of the Lebanese position. The source stressed that any Iranian ceasefire effort must pass through Lebanese institutions and contribute to implementing the decision to restrict weapons, noting that ending the arms mission requires time and requires political, social and economic treatments. The source announced American efforts to reduce the Israeli escalation in preparation for establishing a ceasefire and moving to the second negotiating step. These data greatly contradicted the developments of the last hours on the ground, especially after the raid in the southern suburb that led to the assassination of the commander of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force, and the subsequent escalation in the south during the daylight hours. =======* LBC Introduction: Next Thursday and Friday are the dates for the start of the Lebanese-Israeli negotiations in Washington. The third session will not be at the ambassadorial level, but rather the first at the level of the heads of two delegations. The negotiations are according to a timetable extending to the end of the year 2026, and are supposed to end with reaching an end to the state of hostility with Israel, and concluding an agreement with it, not a peace treaty. A week before the start of the negotiations, Israel dealt a strong blow to Hezbollah by targeting Malik or Ahmed Ballout, who is the commander of the Radwan Division. According to what Israel reported, Ballout has an extremist ideological line against Israel, and he is the one who directed about a thousand members of the Radwan Force to southern Lebanon. The most dangerous thing, according to Israel, is that he is behind the instructions related to launching drones. The bomb was directed towards the Israeli army. The assassination was carried out by warplanes that targeted an 11-storey building in Haret Hreik, closing its six upper floors together. The beginning of the negotiation track event. The new information is that Lebanon has raised the level of representation from the rank of ambassador to the rank of ambassador extraordinary by sending Simon Karam to head the Lebanese delegation as a gesture of good faith in exchange for the American understanding of the difficulty of the duo meeting with Aoun and Netanyahu at this stage because of its serious repercussions on internal stability. Also in the new information is that Karam will conduct an exploratory tour with a political march over the papers of the Israeli delegation, where he will sit opposite Ron Dermer, who is holding the negotiation file with Lebanon, retroactively, since he received this file months ago. A week away from the expected round of talks, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation adopted the schedule on the American calendar, but for the purpose of keeping the agenda in the “top secret” file, information and sources circulated around it about an American effort to reduce the escalation, while sources close to Ambassador Karam indicated to Al-Jadeed that he was going with in his bag Lebanon’s constants, from a ceasefire to an Israeli withdrawal, stabilizing the borders, and releasing prisoners. Based on these provisions, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, in his latest positions, re-supported the Lebanese position with Arab and Gulf sponsorship, based on the Arab initiative launched by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the Beirut Summit. In this context, Arab sources saw that Salam’s words, as they established an atmosphere of internal calm, at the same time reflected the Saudi-Iranian rapprochement, the features of which will appear in the next stage. If we want to know what will happen in Lebanon, we must monitor what is happening in Pakistan, where Islamabad raised the level of optimism and expected through its foreign ministry that Washington and Tehran would reach an agreement as soon as possible, hoping that the matter would culminate in a sustainable peaceful solution, while its prime minister announced that communication with America and Iran continues around the clock. In light of the talk about division and disagreement in opinion and power and the management of the war within the single Iranian house, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian revealed that he recently met with the leader of the revolution, Mojtaba Khamenei, for two and a half hours in an atmosphere that he described as based on trust and direct dialogue. Beyond the Iranian issue, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio made a “pilgrimage” trip to the Vatican, and in a meeting to heal the rift between the Catholic capital and the White House, a US State Department official reported that Rubio held friendly and constructive talks with Pope Leo XIV. Rubio will return to Washington carrying the blessing of “heartwashing” between the Pope and Trump before the US President heads east to meet his Chinese counterpart. Between them, Tehran is studying the American response to its amended proposal. It is true that the response is one page, but no one knows the size of the font in which it was written and whether it resembles Trump’s signature.
