Hezbollah condemns US strikes on Iran
by Naharnet Newsdesk 23 June 2025, 12:12 Hezbollah has condemned the U.S. strikes on Iran in a statement but did not threaten to join in Tehran's retaliation. 'The blatant deceit and deception practiced by U.S. President Donald Trump, driven by illusions of control and arrogance ... confirms that the United States of America, along with the tyrants of arrogance, is a threat to the security and stability of the Islamic Republic,' the statement said. "This proves to the entire world that America is the official sponsor of terrorism and does not recognize international conventions, humanitarian laws, pledges, or obligations,' it added. It also called for 'Arab and Islamic countries and the free peoples of the world' to stand with Iran.

The U.S. has changed the course of the conflict—Now it's Iran's turn to change
At 86, Irans Ayatollah Ali Khamanei finds himself completely isolated . He now has a choice . Will he want to be remembered as the leader who destroyed Iran? If the war escalates this is exactly what will happen experts say. But Iran can choose diplomacy. It can choose integration, this will lead to prosperity for it an the whole region and Khamanei will be remembered as the leader who saved Iran By Vlad Green Op-Ed The recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran's three main nuclear sites have done more than damage Tehran's nuclear infrastructure—they may have shifted the trajectory of the entire Middle East. For the first time in years, the United States sent an unmistakable message: Iran's nuclear ambitions are not just a red line for Israel, but for the entire region—and for Washington. The question now is not what the U.S. or Israel will do next. The question is: Will Iran finally get the message? Its nuclear program, masked in the language of national pride and 'resistance,' is now clearly understood as an existential threat—not only to Israel but to the stability of the entire Middle East. Arab neighbors who once remained cautiously silent are now watching closely. They see a dangerous actor risking the security of millions for the sake of ideological expansionism and regional dominance. The United States has changed the course of this conflict. But it is Iran that must decide whether this marks the end of its nuclear delusion or the beginning of a long, bloody road to nowhere. If Iran chooses escalation, the outcome could be devastating—not just militarily, but politically and economically. Its regime is already standing on shaky ground, with a population increasingly fed up with isolation, sanctions, and repression. Another war could push the country into collapse. But there is another path. Iran can choose diplomacy. It can choose integration. It can choose to become part of the new Middle East—one focused on prosperity, regional cooperation, and peace. This is the vision many Arab nations, led by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, are already embracing. Iran is not excluded— unless it chooses to exclude itself . This is a historic turning point. The bombs may have stopped for now, but the political pressure has only just begun. Iran must realize that nuclear weapons will not make it stronger or safer. They will only isolate it further and bring it closer to ruin. The war between Iran and Israel doesn't have to continue. But it won't end through silence or appeasement. It will end when Iran wakes up to the reality that its dreams of domination are a nightmare for the region—and ultimately, for itself. The world has spoken. The U.S. has acted. The next move is Iran's.

Nada Boustany to Joe Saddi: Don't evade confrontation—open all the files, from steamships to dams and more
Former Minister of Energy and MP Nada Boustany responded to recent remarks made by current Energy Minister Joe Saddi, stating the following: First, it took you four months just to receive your files, and yet you claim that no power plant has been operational since 2010. Please update your information: the new Zouk and Jiyeh plants were added to the grid in 2017, and they are currently the most cost-efficient in operation. Second, instead of sidestepping confrontation, open all the files—from steamships to dams and beyond. You should have addressed the real cost burden on Lebanese citizens from private generators and compared that to the cost of steamships. If you're interested in reviewing the numbers, we're ready to share the detailed files. Third, were you unaware that the IFC and World Bank were the ones who prepared the term sheet? Your comment about needing them to 'accompany the tender' falls flat, especially considering that the BOT term sheets have been ready for some time now. Your Excellency, if you wish to speak about your accomplishments in public, at least base them on facts. In short, we heard nothing new, just the same old political rhetoric.
