LEBANON
UN Security Council Resolution 1701 committed Lebanon to withdraw Hezbollah north of the Litani River in 2006. Historically a defense based on border fortifications has failed to keep Israel secure. Israel’s new policy of buffer zones along its borders combined with preemptive attacks on threats beyond those borders is eminently sensible if one considers history and military doctrines. Europeans are demanding "peace in Lebanon" (ie protecting the Hezbollah terror proxy) which is all about oil and appeasing Iran. For example, German Chancellor Merz did not mention in his statement on Lebanon that Hezbollah attacked Israel. More precisely, he did not mention Hezbollah at all and only called on Israel to cease attacks in Lebanon. No mention of attacks on Israel from Lebanon nor the thousands of Israeli civilians that have been forced to flee their homes because of Hezbollah’s missiles.
EmojiA Hezbollah official declares that the group will not accept any direct Lebanon-Israel negotiations. What’s the point of negotiating with Lebanon? The Government of Lebanon has proven again and again that it will not, or cannot, follow through on its commitments to disarm Hezbollah.
EmojiThe Lebanese government has instructed the Lebanese Armed Forces to demilitarize Beirut and ensure weapons only go to legitimate state forces, not terrorist groups like Hezbollah.
EmojiLebanese Minister Camille Chamoun Commends the IDF 
EmojiIn a total of 10 minutes - Israel reduced 100 Hezbollah operational centers across all of Lebanon. Did Israel prevent a coup by Hezbollah to topple the government of Joseph Aoun and seize complete control of Lebanon? 184 Hezbollah terrorists killed. FYI Hezbollah released footage of them launching missiles from civilian homes inside Lebanon.

"Epic Fury" - War with Iran - Where are we now?
Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz. After President Trump declared a ceasefire had been reached, the IRGC fired upon Israel, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. The Iran-backed Houthis fired upon Israel. President Trump stopped Israel from responding to Iran, but not Iran-backed Hezbollah.

CRITICS:
EmojiNo regime change has occurred in Iran. Pezeshkian is still the president, Ejei is still calling shots for the judiciary, and Ghalibaf still controls the parliament.  
EmojiMohseni Ejei, head of the Islamic regime’s judiciary, orders faster executions of more than 50k protesters in Iran.
EmojiThere is no solid basis for claiming Iran has been completely disarmed. US intelligence can only reliably confirm that about a third of Iran’s missile arsenal has been destroyed.
EmojiPresident Trump has always been a hawk on Iran. He didn't need to be convinced to launch an attack. The Trump administration's incompetence included not planning for the closing of Strait of Hormuz. People with experience and knowledge have been purged and the US now lacks knowledge on how to deal with certain challenges.https://www.vickywardinvestigates.com/p/will-we-be-talking-about-renewed

SUPPORTERS
In every speech, briefing, and official statement from President Trump, Secretary of Defense Hegseth, Secretary of State Rubio, the Joint Chiefs, and the White House, the objectives of Operation Epic Fury have been: 
 1. Destroy Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal and production capacity
 2. Annihilate its navy 
 3. Ensure Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon
 4. End the regime’s ability to arm, fund, and direct terrorist proxies 
EmojiFrom Sia Kordistani
Objectives achieved *so far*:
1) Iran's nuclear program decimated.
2) Missile production and drone production factories mostly destroyed.
3) Iran's defense industrial base, including applied sciences sites, wrecked.
4) Iran's steel production and precious petrochemical industry mostly destroyed, making it difficult to reconstitute some of the above capabilities, and making the regime poorer.
5) Iran's Navy and Airforce nearly totally obliterated.
6) Justice delivered to the mass murderers of the Iranian people.
