Report: No green light for Hezbollah and Israel from Iran, US
Hezbollah has not yet received a "green light" from Iran to launch operations against Israel and Washington has not given Israel the green light to carry out a large-scale operation on the Ali Taher heights, sources told Al-Arabiya’s Al-Hadath channel.
“U.S. intervention halted the Israeli escalation in southern Lebanon over the weekend,” the sources added, following the bloodiest Israeli strikes on Lebanon since the June ceasefire.
Separately, the sources said “there are no clear criteria for selecting the countries that will participate in verifying Hezbollah's disarmament in Lebanon.”
The sources added that U.S. General Joseph Clearfield's visit to Lebanon "did not result in expanding the pilot zones."

We kid ourselves if we believe that President Trump commands Prime Minister Netanyahu's military, as there is ample evidence that Israel does not wait for an American "green light". Yet another lie from the font of lies Persians tell to all Lebanese.

The very fact that Hizballah is reported to be waiting for the "green light" from Iran, proves to everyone that Hizballah is not a Lebanese organisation, but an Iranian terrorist organisation operating on the sovereign territory of the Republic of Lebanon and should be dealt with accordingly.
