Lebanon at a Crossroads as Revolutionary Guard Draws Country Toward Conflict

The "Lady of the Mountain" gathering stated that Lebanon is currently at a historic crossroads, facing a choice between restoring state sovereignty or descending into ruin due to Iran's refusal to relinquish control over Lebanon's national decisions.

In a statement following their weekly meeting held online at their Ashrafieh headquarters, the participants emphasized that this situation demands the united efforts of all loyalists around the clear national stance expressed by the President of the Republic during his interview with the "CNN" network. They placed responsibility on the "Iranian Revolutionary Guard" for dragging Lebanon into war and stressed that Iran aims to turn Lebanon into a mailbox to improve its negotiation conditions.

The statement also highlighted the clear positions taken by the Prime Minister, which align with the President’s stance in defending Lebanon, its people, and their right to life and dignity. They regarded this discourse as a concise reflection of Lebanon's current situation, affirming that the recent military escalation witnessed in Lebanon will not affect the conviction expressed by the Lebanese people through their unified state.
