A highly controversial trilateral peace framework orchestrated by US President Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has triggered massive civil unrest across Lebanon. Signed in Washington with the Lebanese government, the “so-called” master deal completely bypassed Hezbollah and Iran. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the exclusion, stating, “Iran is out, Hezbollah is out.”The geopolitical erasure backfired instantly. Enraged by what they label a “surrender pact,” thousands of Hezbollah supporters and Lebanese citizens flooded the streets of Beirut and Dahiya. Protesters carrying Iranian and Hezbollah flags burned tires and blocked critical arterial routes, including the Beirut Airport highway. Security forces deployed tear gas, but the defiant crowd refused to disperse, viewing the treaty as forced capitulation rather than genuine peace. Meanwhile, a massive geopolitical storm is brewing in Tehran. The upcoming state funeral of Iran’s former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—who passed away following a joint US-Israeli strike on February 28—is set to break global records. Running from July 4 to July 9, 2026, the final journey is projected to mobilize over 20 million people, threatening to break the 1989 Guinness World Record set during Ayatollah Khomeini’s funeral. The high-profile schedule begins with memorial services at Tehran’s Grand Mosalla on July 4–5, followed by the main funeral procession in the capital on July 6. The body will move to the holy city of Qom on July 7, then to Mashhad on July 8, before the final burial at the sacred Imam Reza Shrine on July 9. World leaders from Russia, China, Iraq, and Syria are converging on Tehran. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has officially invited Indian PM Narendra Modi, with New Delhi preparing to send a high-level delegation to honor its historic ally.
