The 10-point peace plan offered by Iran and accepted tentatively by President Donald Trump is already in jeopardy after a major U.S. ally announced their refusal to abide by a key element of the agreement.One of the 10 conditions in the peace plan is that Israel halt its strikes on Lebanon, but on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – despite expressing support for the peace plan – said that the ceasefire agreement “does not include Lebanon,” Al Jazeera reported Wednesday.Israel launched its latest invasion of Lebanon last month after the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched attacks against Israel in response to Israeli strikes on Iran. In doing so, it’s created a “humanitarian crisis,” forcing 1.2 million people to flee their homes, including 350,000 children.Trump has not commented on Israel’s objection to a key element of the ceasefire agreement. Joe Kent, who resigned last month as the head of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center in protest of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, alleged that Trump was manipulated by Israel into launching the conflict. On Tuesday, he said it would be crucial to “restrain the Israelis” to “ensure the ceasefire is successful.”

Hot on the heels of agreeing to a tenuous ceasefire with Iran’s leadership, Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday morning to haul out his favorite weapon of choice when dealing with a foreign government.Despite the recent smackdown from the Supreme Court restricting Trump from imposing tariffs on a whim without congressional approval, the president is once again menacing the international community.Early Wednesday, he wrote on Truth Social, "A Country supplying Military Weapons to Iran will be immediately tariffed, on any and all goods sold to the United States of America, 50%, effective immediately. There will be no exclusions or exemptions! President DJT"The threat represents a possible constitutional violation. In February, the Supreme Court delivered a decisive 6-3 ruling striking down Trump's sweeping tariff regime, explicitly finding that his executive orders exceed the powers given to the president by Congress under a 1977 law governing commerce during national emergencies.
