Lebanese figures are voicing disappointment with President Donald Trump, arguing that the understandings being reached between the US and Iran will strengthen Hezbollah, according to a single unverified report from a Lebanese-aligned source. The message was posted Monday evening, though the exact identity of the figures and the context of their remarks remain unclear. The report surfaces amid a flurry of conflicting signals from the region: Trump has recently alternated between threatening Iran and reportedly aligning with Iranian demands for Israel to cease operations against Hezbollah. It also follows official Hezbollah praise for the emerging US-Iran framework. The criticism from within Lebanon appears to reflect a growing anxiety among those opposed to Hezbollah's entrenchment that the negotiations may inadvertently cement the group's military and political power, as The Zioneer has previously reported. The report is based on a single source and has not been independently corroborated.
