Hezbollah: From the Myth of “Resistance” to Iran’s Regional Occupation Tool

Hezbollah’s armed presence is no longer a Lebanese internal dispute—it is the central obstacle to state sovereignty, regional stability, and the entire security architecture of the Levant.
The 2023–2025 conflict exposed structural weaknesses inside the militia and accelerated the collapse of its political, military, and logistical depth following the fall of the Assad regime.
This assessment examines Hezbollah’s hybrid identity, its weaponized political role, its integration into Iran’s regional agenda, and the strategic implications of its weakening position.
