Trump stating that the Beirut incident was an "attack" - despite the Lebanese govt saying it was an accident on their part - just gave Lebanon and its allies the right to attack any nation they may claim performed this attack. In my mind, there are only 5 that they would blame: Israel, the US, Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia.

After Trump's statements, I don't see how the Lebanese will possibly accept a non-retaliatory response.

War is definitely on the horizon - if not days/weeks away.
