Why Did We Agree and Not Attack Israel Despite Yesterday’s Israeli Attack on Beirut’s Dahieh in Lebanon?

According to the political desk of Saed News, citing Fars, after the general framework of a memorandum of understanding was approved on Saturday by the Supreme National Security Council, several remaining issues were discussed starting Sunday morning with the arrival of the Qatari delegation.

These unresolved matters were expected to remain unsettled until around midday today, when Israel reportedly carried out an attack on the “Dahieh” area, effectively crossing what Iran had defined as its red lines.

At that moment, Iran was reportedly preparing to launch large-scale attacks against Israel from multiple fronts, and the negotiations were moving toward collapse. However, following the renewed involvement of Trump and concessions offered in exchange for Iran not attacking Israel, the negotiating team was persuaded that the agreement was in the country’s interests and also in the interests of the people of Lebanon.

The most important last-minute changes included:

  • The immediate lifting of the naval blockade (instead of the previously agreed 30-day timeline)

  • The end of the war and military operations on all fronts and in all areas of Lebanon, and the necessity of respecting the country’s territorial integrity

Ultimately, these consultations continued until the late hours of Sunday night. While everything was reportedly prepared for an attack on Israel, with the United States yielding to Iran’s demands, the obstacles to signing the memorandum of understanding were effectively removed. It was decided that the memorandum would be signed on Friday.
