The Iranian Takeover: Lebanon’s Struggle for Sovereignty
Cartoon of the Lebanese flag with an Iranian cleric trying to replace the famous Cedar tree of Lebanon with the Iranian emblem has sparked outrage. Many feel that Iran’s dominance through Hezbollah has turned Lebanon into a colony. With Israel targeting Hezbollah leaders, Iran’s direct control over the group has become evident, leading to a war against Israel on Lebanese soil.
Iran’s interference in Lebanon’s affairs, including disregarding UN Resolution 1701, has drawn condemnation from Lebanese leaders. The Change Alliance bloc and Lebanese Forces Party warn of the dangers of Iran’s actions. Former Saudi ambassador confirms Iranian officers directing battles in Lebanon, emphasizing Iran’s disregard for the well-being of both Lebanese and Iranian populations.
Iran’s exploitation of Lebanon for its own interests has worsened the country’s economic and social stability, with Hezbollah serving as a proxy for Iran’s regional ambitions. It’s time for Lebanon to reclaim its sovereignty and rebuild without being manipulated by foreign powers. The Lebanese people deserve a future free from external interference and conflict.
