Abstract

The article focuses on Hezbollah's role in Lebanon and its impact on regional stability in the Middle East. Hezbollah, described as a militant Shiite Islamist group backed by Iran, operates independently of the Lebanese state and has engaged in repeated conflicts with Israel, including rocket attacks following Hamas's assault in October 2023. Despite significant Israeli military operations that have weakened Hezbollah's capabilities, the group retains popular support among Lebanon’s Shiite community and continues to provoke violence, complicating Lebanon’s sovereignty and security. The article highlights the deep historical and ideological ties between Hezbollah and Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, emphasizing that Lebanon’s future and stability are closely linked to the broader struggle against Iranian influence in the region.
