Lebanon is a failed, rogue, and occupied state, held hostage by the Iranian terrorist proxy Hezbollah. Its sovereignty has been hijacked, and the nation’s institutions have crumbled under the weight of corruption, betrayal, and external control. Lebanon no longer resembles the proud, independent country it once was—it has been twisted into a puppet regime serving Iran’s destructive ambitions, with Hezbollah as the tool of its occupation.
This reality cannot be ignored any longer. Lebanon is a collapsed state in every sense of the word: economically, politically, and socially. Its leaders, whether politicians, clerics, or officials, are nothing but castrated puppets, willingly serving Hezbollah’s agenda in exchange for power, personal gains, and the spoils of corruption. The Lebanese state has become a façade, void of any true authority, with its military, security, and judicial institutions rendered ineffective, merely extensions of Hezbollah’s control.
Hezbollah has, for decades, spread its terror under the false pretense of “resistance” and “liberating Palestine,” all while entrenching itself deeper in Lebanon’s governmental and civil institutions, devouring the country from within. Meanwhile, the Lebanese people, especially the Shiite community, have been manipulated and victimized by this destructive force. South Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s southern suburbs have been reduced to ruins in both spirit and infrastructure, driven into the ground by Hezbollah’s reckless actions and Iran’s expansionist agenda.
The international community cannot remain silent. Lebanon must be placed under the full authority of the United Nations, and we call upon the UN to invoke Chapter VII of its charter to rescue Lebanon from this abyss. The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), already present with thousands of troops, must take charge and enforce the implementation of UN Resolutions 1559, 1701, and 1680, which call for the disarmament of Hezbollah and the restoration of Lebanese sovereignty.
The Lebanese people cannot free themselves from this occupation without external intervention. Hezbollah’s reign of terror is too deeply embedded in the country’s political and security structures. This rogue organization, controlled by the Iranian regime, thrives on assassination, intimidation, and the systematic destruction of Lebanon’s national identity. Its dream of establishing an Iranian-style Islamic Republic in Lebanon is a threat not only to the Lebanese people but to the entire region.
Arab nations, once allies of Lebanon, have turned their backs, seeing the country as a lost cause, while the West remains indecisive. But the time for hesitation is over. The world must recognize that a Lebanon under Hezbollah’s control is not just a Lebanese problem—it is a global threat. Terrorist cells, weapons caches, and militia camps flourish under Hezbollah’s protection, endangering peace and stability far beyond Lebanon’s borders.
Lebanon’s sovereign leaders, true patriots who still value independence, are few and far between, and they cannot act alone. It is now the duty of the Lebanese diaspora, especially those who cherish the values of freedom and sovereignty, to step forward. They must mobilize, speak out, and pressure the UN and the international community to declare Lebanon a failed state and place it under international guardianship. The Lebanese army and security forces are powerless under Hezbollah’s domination. Only the international community, through direct intervention, can liberate Lebanon from this occupation.
Hezbollah is a criminal organization, masquerading as a political movement. It does not represent the Lebanese people. It is time to stop pretending that Lebanon can recover on its own or with half-hearted measures. Without international intervention, Lebanon will continue to sink deeper into chaos, corruption, and ruin.
We call upon the world’s leaders, particularly those with ties to Lebanon and its diaspora, to take immediate action. The Lebanese state must be declared rogue and placed under Chapter VII, with UNIFIL given full authority to restore order and enforce peace. This is the only viable solution to end Hezbollah’s stranglehold, dismantle its terrorist infrastructure, and rebuild Lebanon as a free and independent nation. The time for decisive action is now—before it is too late.
Despite the heavy and devastating blows Hezbollah has suffered in recent weeks at the hands of Israel—especially the assassination of its terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah and the elimination of many of its top figures, along with the destruction of most of its Shiite strongholds—Hezbollah remains firmly in control of Lebanon. Incredibly, despite the catastrophic losses, Hezbollah continues to govern the country, dominate its institutions, and maintain its iron grip over Lebanon’s decision-making process.
This grim reality is a direct result of the widespread corruption among Lebanon’s political class. The country’s leaders—whether politicians, religious figures, or military officials—have sold their loyalty to Hezbollah and its Iranian masters in exchange for personal gain, power, and protection. Instead of standing up to Hezbollah and working to reclaim Lebanon’s sovereignty, they have become complicit in its domination. Their betrayal has left Lebanon defenseless, effectively handing the reins of power to a terrorist organization even in its weakened state.
The tragic truth is that Hezbollah, even after these significant Israeli strikes, still holds the country hostage. Lebanon’s government is nothing more than a puppet regime, manipulated by Hezbollah, which continues to act as Iran’s proxy. This unholy alliance between corrupt Lebanese elites and Hezbollah has led to the complete collapse of the state, rendering Lebanon a failed and rogue country.
Therefore, the urgent call for international intervention, specifically under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, is more critical than ever. The Lebanese people are unable to free themselves from this internal occupation without outside help. Hezbollah’s power runs too deep, and as long as the country’s corrupt leaders continue to serve its interests, Lebanon will remain a captive nation. It is time for the world to act, place Lebanon under full international guardianship, and finally end Hezbollah’s reign of terror.
