The Lebanon Deal That Wasn't, and the War That Is

Desk note: Wire coverage of the 28 June strike reports and the Iran-US memorandum is likely to be framed as a diplomatic process story, with the framework leading and the strikes trailing. Monexus reverses the sequence because the strikes are what is actually happening on the ground, and the framework is what is being tested.
