00:21Just hours after the world was told a peace deal was finally here,
00:25Iran is now signaling it is ready to go to war again.
00:30And the reason is Beirut.
00:32According to Channel 12 News, Iran has rejected a United States offer of unspecified financial
00:38benefits and intends to respond soon to Israel's strike on Beirut.
00:43Let that sink in for a moment.
00:45The Trump administration is reportedly making intensive last-minute efforts to prevent this
00:50attack.
00:51Why?
00:52Because Washington is trying to sign a final agreement with Iran within hours.
00:56But to understand how dramatic this moment really is, you need to go back to what happened
01:02just before this.
01:03For months, the United States and Iran have been quietly negotiating to end what has now
01:08become a 107-day conflict.
01:11And just recently, word broke that a breakthrough had finally been reached.
01:16Pakistan's Prime Minister Shabazz Sharif confirmed it himself.
01:20Iranian state-linked media went even further, publishing details of a draft memorandum of
01:26understanding.
01:27A formal signing ceremony was expected in Switzerland on Friday.
01:32For a brief moment, it looked like the region was about to take a breath.
01:37Then Netanyahu happened.
01:39Just hours after news broke that the U.S. and Iran had reached an understanding to end
01:44this war, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did something extraordinary.
01:49He openly rejected one of the core pillars of that deal, before the public had even seen
01:55the full details.
01:57Reports say Netanyahu told President Trump directly that Israeli forces will not withdraw from Lebanon,
02:04and that Israelis does not consider itself bound by the Lebanon clause inside the U.S.-Iran
02:09memorandum of understanding.
02:11So while the world was being told a deal was hours from being signed, Israel has already said
02:17it will not honor part of it.
02:19Iran has already struck back diplomatically by rejecting U.S. incentives, and a retaliatory
02:25strike on Israel over Beirut now appears to be a matter of when, not if.
02:31A peace deal that was supposed to end a 107-day war may end up triggering its next chapter instead.
02:38And the next move is now Iran's.
02:47Iran's.
02:48Iran's.
02:49Iran's.
02:52Iran's.
02:52Iran's.
02:53Iran's.
02:54Iran's.
02:54Iran's.
02:58Iran's.
03:00Iran's.
