After reading and listening all day and for weeks, about Iran, I understand how nuts the government and a portion of the people of Iran are. it seems rational that no country should want interaction with them. Even when they are not even in conflict with another country they are radical.That is probably why Iran has gotten away with so much shit for decades. The whole government seems radical but many of the portion of citizens are peaceful! Just IMO

Iran hardliners rally against emerging US deal on eve of signing ceremony
Summary
• A group of hardliners held protest rallies against an emerging deal with the United States in Tehran and Mashhad, accusing Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi of being an infiltrator and compromising with the US.
• President Trump said a deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed Sunday and would immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while warning that he has an “ultimate alternative” if the process fails. He also ruled out any cash exchange in the deal, vowing to retrieve Iran's uranium stocks at a later time.
• Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Tahir Andrabi said Saturday that Islamabad will host the signing ceremony for an Iran-US peace agreement by video conference on Sunday. Iran's foreign ministry earlier said the signing will not happen on Sunday.
• Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said he discussed the latest developments on the draft Islamabad memorandum of understanding with the United States in a joint meeting with the Russian and Chinese ambassadors in Tehran.
• Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a US-Iran MoU could be signed remotely within days if final negotiations are completed, but Tehran says no final decision has been made.
• Washington says the emerging deal is performance-based, with sanctions relief and frozen funds tied to Iran dismantling nuclear infrastructure, removing or destroying enriched material and accepting inspections.
• Hardliners in Tehran are attacking the draft and Araghchi’s messaging, warning the reported terms involve deeper concessions and saying no understanding is valid without Mojtaba Khamenei’s approval.

Israeli Embassy shares Lebanon video, says future should be decided in Beirut, not Tehran
The Embassy of Israel in the United States on Saturday shared a video on X addressed to the people of Lebanon, saying they deserve a future defined by opportunity, stability, and sovereignty rather than what it described as the ambitions of a foreign regime.
It said Hezbollah had dragged Lebanon into conflicts serving Iran’s agenda and argued that Lebanon’s future should be determined in Beirut, not Tehran.
To the people of Lebanon:
You deserve a future defined by opportunity, stability, and sovereignty - not by the ambitions of a foreign regime. (Israel has been willingly killing the people of Lebanon for decades if not centuries)
For too long, Hezbollah has dragged Lebanon into conflicts that do not serve the interests of the Lebanese people, while advancing… pic.twitter.com/31gCuSXh22

US-Iran framing of 'end of the war' signals shift despite ongoing hostility, analyst says
Gregory Brew of Eurasia Group said on Saturday the US and Iran framing a potential agreement as the “end of the war” would make it harder for either side to return to active hostilities, adding that this would be especially true for President Donald Trump.
I wouldn't discount the significance of both sides framing this as the "end of the war."
Yes, the US and Iran will remain hostile toward one another. There won't be true peace.
But it will be very difficult for either to willfully return to active, intense hostilities for some…
