Trump Claims Progress on Lebanon as Ceasefire Framework Collapses

⏱️ WASHINGTON — Both sides just rejected the framework he's calling progress. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Trump's optimism lands hours after Hezbollah formally rejected the ceasefire and Israel refused withdrawal — the two conditions that define the framework. Either Trump is managing optics ahead of the MOU track, or he's operating on a separate back-channel. Neither reading is reassuring. The Lebanon collapse is now papered over by presidential spin with no visible mechanism to reverse it.
