An Analysis of America’s Approach towards Lebanon

2024/10/20 | Note, Politics, top news

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Washington claims to be trying to manage tension and establish a ceasefire, especially in Lebanon, which has practically become the "driving engine" of the war. The fact that Americans talk about the reduction of tension in the official platforms and invite the parties to exercise restraint with what they do in the field and do not hesitate to provide any military, security, economic, political, and diplomatic assistance to the Israeli regime to continue the war is in the open "contradiction."

Hamid Khoshayand – an expert on regional issues

There is a lot of evidence showing that contrary to the statements of American statesmen who apparently call for a ceasefire and avoid conflict in Lebanon, the Biden administration and the White House are not just a passive ally, which the Zionists sometimes defy, but in point by point developments in Lebanon is a “synchronous and aligned government” with the Zionist regime.

Recently, the Reuters news agency revealed the real dimensions of the US policy towards Lebanon and Hezbollah and by referring to the words of Matthew Miller, the spokesperson of the US State Department, regarding Washington’s support for Tel Aviv’s actions in targeting Hezbollah’s infrastructure, he emphasized: “The policy to solve the tension between Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Tel Aviv through diplomacy is no longer the US approach to developments in West Asia, and Washington is no longer willing to prevent the war.

This change of approach, especially after the “terror campaign” of the Zionist regime in Lebanon, which led to the martyrdom of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah and several senior commanders of the Hezbollah, has become more “candid” and America, with the idea that after the loss of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah has lost it power, is trying to change `the political trends in Lebanon.

The American government in every possible way, including supporting the Zionist regime’s war against Hezbollah and Lebanon, destroying the image of Hezbollah, creating costs for the Resistance in the public opinion of Lebanon, and inciting the people and various political currents against the Hezbollah in a way that puts all the sufferings and problems at the feet of the Resistance. Lebanon writes that it seeks to reduce the influence and, subsequently, “remove” Hezbollah from Lebanon’s political future.

Recently, the American website Axios revealed the new American plan to change the balance of power in Lebanon. Citing American officials, it disclosed: “The White House intends to take advantage of the current situation of the Hezbollah in Lebanon in order to elect a new Lebanese president as soon as possible.”

At the same time, the American ambassador in Lebanon, in a meeting with some political forces and independent representatives of the parliament, in statements that do not match Hezbollah’s field and regional status, suggested that “Hezbollah has been weakened and its control over the government can no longer be tolerated. In the near future, we must prepare for a stage in Lebanese politics where Hezbollah has no place.”

In sum, America has turned to a double and complicated game in the region and Lebanon. Contrary to human rights gestures, Washington is “the main cause of killing” in occupied Lebanon and Palestine. In practice, other Western countries do not take any effective steps to establish a ceasefire and stop the war of the Zionist regime in Lebanon. In a way, they are following the policies of the United States. Of course, France is trying to play a role in Lebanon’s political environment, if possible, in a relatively realistic manner and interaction with Hezbollah, although maintaining the former colonial approaches.

Without the support of the United States, the Zionist regime could not last more than a few days against the Resistance of Lebanon, whose fighting organization had not been damaged even after the assassination of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah.

By observing the field and political trends and Developments in the region and especially in Lebanon, it seems that there is a large and common regional agenda under the guidance of the United States to, if possible, “political and security order” ruling Lebanon by removing the political future.

Of course, Lebanon is the starting point of America’s desired order, which may be followed in other Arab countries, including Syria, and even America’s Arab partners in the region, depending on the perspective of developments. America, which does not have the necessary conditions to directly enter into war and conflict in the region and Lebanon, is well aware of the political, social, cultural, etc. links of the Lebanese people with Hezbollah.

Therefore, he considers the people’s “interest” in Hezbollah an “obstacle” to advancing and realizing his political plans in this country. He considers military measures, war, and displacement the only effective ways to cut off this interest and link and thus remove Hezbollah from Lebanon’s political future.

In any case, contrary to America’s views, Hezbollah has not been weakened. There is no apparent reason or sign of Hezbollah’s field and military weakening in Lebanon, and the scene of the conflicts also confirms this. In addition, Hezbollah is also committed to Lebanon’s interests, security, and national sovereignty, as it shows in practice. It welcomes any ceasefire plan that considers the Lebanese people’s interests and the Resistance of this country.

Al-Zaydi’s selection as Prime Minister represents a positive sign of the completion of the government formation process and the beginning of a new phase in Iraqi politics and governance. The emergence of a young, technocratic figure from the third generation of politicians—in a context where the country has been administered by traditional figures for decades—revives hope that Iraq may perhaps distance itself from the repetitive cycle of crises and experience a new path of stability, efficiency, and regional convergence.

SCFR Online – Note: Over recent decades, support for the Zionist regime has been one of the few issues commanding bipartisan consensus in US foreign policy. Since the Cold War era, Republicans and Democrats have generally agreed on the necessity of preserving the security and survival of the Zionist regime as Washington’s most strategic ally in West Asia—and indeed, globally. However, developments in recent years—particularly the Gaza war, escalating regional conflicts, the expansion of tensions into Lebanon, and this regime’s recent warmongering against Iran—have caused this traditional consensus, especially within the Democratic Party, to face significant fractures.

The popularity levels of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Likud Party, and the ruling coalition led by Netanyahu until February 28, 2026, remained approximately the same as during the preceding year. The most recent factor that had somewhat increased Netanyahu’s popularity was the advancement of the 2024 war with Hezbollah Lebanon. Subsequently, his popularity temporarily increased during the 12-day war with Iran, but after the war, it returned to its previous state.
