Lebanon faces a critical moment as decades of Iranian influence and Hezbollah's dominance threaten its sovereignty and stability. The article argues that meaningful reform and economic recovery are impossible while Hezbollah maintains its private army, and calls for Lebanon to recognize the group as a terrorist organization and commit to disarmament. The author urges the United States to take decisive action, including ending the ineffective United Nations peacekeeping mission, supporting the Lebanese Armed Forces with resources and training, and working with allies to disrupt Iran's weapons pipeline into Lebanon. The piece concludes that Lebanon's future depends on having one legitimate military and that President Trump has a unique opportunity to help secure lasting peace and stability in the region.
