After the rally on 9 May, Hezbullah's SG Sayed Hassan Nasrallah will speak at an elections rally in Baalbek on Friday, 13 May, at 5 pm.

The speech will be broadcasted to several rallies around Baalbek-Hermel province.

Allegedly, a small IED exploded between the crops in Lebanon, prompting the IDF to fire flares to investigate the situation.

A third rally is organized in Beirut on the 10th of May in Ashoura yard in Beirut. Invitation is public.

In conclusion, Nasrallah will deliver a speech on the 9th, 10th, and 13th in Tyre, Beirut, and Baalbek respectively.

⋯ Israel will also fine each Palestinian 5,900 USD despite the fact that the Palestinians and their families, have been living in these cave-villages since before the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

Speaking of nuclear deal of Iran and the West

Once upon a time Russia wanted to expand its share on European gas market. The Nord Stream 2 project was declared. Nobody was hiding that the second purpose of building this pipe was to avoid Ukrainian transit, because they often tried to steal the gas even before the conflict in 2014, and they asked for transit too much.

Due to Ukrainian crisis the US implemented sanctions against the Nord Stream 2, and the project was delayed enough to fall under the new European antitrust regulations, which made it impossible for Gazprom to export gas alone. The Russian govt put up with it and continued construction of the pipe.

Then Danish govt demanded new ecological expertise of the project, and the Americans declared a new round of sanctions against the Nord Stream 2. In 2019 Russia had to sign new gas contract with Ukraine for 5 years. But Russia once again put up with it. Everybody thought "it's humiliation, but we'll finish our precious project (it was 95% ready at the moment) and get rid of Ukrainian transit forever".

In 2021 the Ukrainian govt massed its troops near DPR/LPR. Russia did the same, got another round of sanctions, the Nord Stream 2 launch was delayed again. It was built, the test launch was made, but judicial complications prevented its work. Before 24th of February 2022 it still was under license procedure.

Every round Russia was defeated and humiliated. Every moment Europeans showed that they are independent only until the orders from Washington. We lost time and money, while the West was arming Ukraine. It was a tough lesson.

So, what's about the nuclear deal? Don't waste your time and make nukes
