Europe Backstabs America On Lebanon
By calling for an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, Europe isn’t seeking peace; it is unknowingly (or worse, knowingly) endorsing a Hezbollah-led state.
The European demand for Israel to halt its strikes to "save the negotiations" is a strategic absurdity. It signals to the Ayatollahs that Europe has no fundamental problem with Lebanon becoming a permanent satellite of the Islamic Republic. In their rush to avoid friction, London and Brussels have effectively signaled their surrender to Hezbollah’s control over Beirut.
This approach ignores the Iranian regional playbook.
Tehran utilizes pauses to fortify, rotate, and exhaust enemies, via attempts at regime change. This happened in Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, and even Bahrain.
For Israel and the U.S., the mission is clear: producing a definitive expiration date on the current strategy. Every day that Europe pressures Israel for "restraint" is a day that Iran moves closer to a regional "fait accompli."
If the West continues to ignore the intelligence regarding Hezbollah’s intentions, they will soon wake up to a Mediterranean sea dominated by an Iranian proxy state.
We must realize that if we cannot secure Lebanon through precision and timeline-driven military pressure on Iranian assets, the final move may require the absolute economic decapitation of the regime via its oil fields. It is time to stop playing by Tehran and Europe's rules.
