The Coming Lebanon Civil War: Iran’s Proxy War and Global Implications

https://m.primal.net/ONWz.webp

The Middle East is once again on the brink of war, and at the heart of the conflict is Iran’s relentless push to fund Hezbollah despite economic sanctions. Lebanon is on the verge of a civil war that will fragment the country, drawing in Israel and the United States. The Iranian regime is the root cause of instability in the region, and until it is removed, peace will remain an illusion.

Iran’s Role in Destabilizing Lebanon

Iran is looking for ways to keep Hezbollah financially viable as sanctions cripple its economy. Hezbollah’s growing control in Lebanon is forcing the country into a violent confrontation that will fracture it along sectarian lines. This war will not be contained; it will drag Israel into direct military engagement, with the United States supporting Israel as its proxy force. The reality is that the United States will likely supply weapons and intelligence to ensure Israel can eliminate Hezbollah and push back against Iranian influence.

The ultimate solution for Middle Eastern stability is the removal of the Iranian regime. A regime change, likely by fomenting an internal uprising, could result in reinstating the Shah or another pro-Western leadership. A new power dynamic, where Israel, Iran, and Saudi Arabia work together, would stabilize the region and end Iran’s use of militant proxies.

The Syrian Factor and Turkey’s Role

Syria’s leadership is now composed of former ISIS elements, making them a dangerous wildcard. These groups, backed by Turkey, are assets used to push Ankara’s influence further into the Middle East. Turkey, a supposed NATO ally, is acting in direct opposition to Western interests by backing Islamist forces. This instability adds another layer of complexity to the regional war, where alliances are shifting and old enemies are gaining new ground.

The Religious War and the Islamist Threat

At its core, this is not just a political struggle but a religious war. Islamist factions have a clear goal: genocide against the Jewish people, control of Jerusalem, and eventual conquest over Christians. This ideological battle will not end unless confronted with overwhelming force. The United States and its allies must recognize that ignoring the problem will only allow it to grow more dangerous.

America’s Strategic Role and Return on Investment

The United States has repeatedly fought wars in the Middle East, expending blood and treasure, only to rebuild the very countries that forced it into conflict. This cycle of destruction and reconstruction must end. If the U.S. is drawn into another war, it must ensure a return on investment—taking control of resources and using the revenue to pay for the wars rather than funding reconstruction efforts for hostile states. This revenue should be redirected to support American veterans and their families, ensuring that sacrifices made in war serve the nation’s long-term interests.

The Global Stakes: Middle East and Beyond

While the United States must manage the Middle East, its strategic focus must pivot toward Asia, where China is rising as the primary global threat. President Xi has ordered his military to prepare for war with the United States by 2027. America cannot afford to be bogged down in endless Middle Eastern conflicts when the true challenge lies in countering China’s expansion.

The Fate of Western Civilization

The survival of Western civilization rests solely on the United States. Without American leadership, Europe would succumb to leftist, communist-driven policies that echo Hitler’s vision of a European superstate. The European Union has become a bureaucratic monster that suppresses national identity and individual sovereignty. If America does not stand firm, the global order will collapse into chaos.

Conclusion: War is Coming

The United States does not want war, but war may want us. Whether it begins in the Middle East or a full-scale confrontation with China, the world is heading toward another major conflict. Plato once said, “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” It is time for the United States to prepare for the inevitable and ensure that any war it fights serves its national interest first and foremost.
