The series of statements President Trump made to the media yesterday on #Iran--telling Netanyahu not to attack--laid the predicate for him to put out a Truth Social post like this, acting like the UN. It puts distance between the U.S. and Israeli strikes, while sending a message to Tehran that Israel will act on its own. But it is very unlikely Israel undertook its retaliatory strike in direct contravention of the president's instructions. Private coordination much more likely.
@levantophile Given the way things are going, I wouldn't discount Iran's influence in Lebanon just yet. Iran is strongly committed to Hezbollah, just as Hezbollah clings to its arms. I believe this will remain the defining fault line in Lebanese politics for the foreseeable future.
@Mouniryouniss Let's hope most of these purchases are in 2-year treasury bills rather than longer maturities. Otherwise, we will have a much higher risk of a liquidity issue.
@Mouniryouniss قبول الولايات المتحدة بهكذا طرح شبه مستحيل. لأن لبنان لا يمتلك أي مقومات أو الشروط التي يطلبها الفدرالي الأمريكي أو وزارة الخزانة الأمريكية لتمويل الدولار للاقتصاد اللبناني أو الدولة اللبنانية أو مصرف لبنان.
@masss11@xpmove It doesn't matter. No one uses LBP anymore; it's only the state finances that will be affected. Private businesses and citizens transact in USD.
