In a recent interview with NBC's Meet the Press, US President Donald Trump advocated for more targeted military actions against Hezbollah, suggesting a 'surgical' approach to counter the Iran-backed group. He expressed hope for a more stable and prosperous Lebanon but acknowledged Hezbollah as a major barrier to achieving this. His comments come amid rising tensions in Lebanon, particularly following Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, which resulted in two deaths and eleven injuries. These strikes occurred despite a ceasefire agreement brokered in Washington, highlighting the volatile situation. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu justified the attacks as retaliation for Hezbollah's aggression towards northern Israel, claiming that the group is currently under pressure. Iran has warned that further attacks on Beirut could lead to a full-scale war in the region, complicating ongoing diplomatic efforts to stabilize relations between Tehran and Washington. The US has long classified Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, accusing it of destabilizing Lebanon and the wider West Asia region through its military activities and ties to Iran.
