\"townhall-logo\"<\/p>\n

The Islamic Republic of Iran is grappling with an escalating crisis of legitimacy unlike any it has faced in its 46-year history. Decades of economic mismanagement, entrenched corruption, and relentless political repression have steadily eroded public trust and shredded the regime\u2019s fragile social contract, which once promised stability and basic welfare in exchange for obedience. That bargain lies in ruins. Inflation is soaring, unemployment is rampant, and the rial continues its catastrophic freefall, plunging millions of Iranians into destitution. Yet amid the misery, one group remains cocooned in privilege and untouched by the suffering of the people: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).<\/p>\n

Trump Adm in Pressures Lebanon to Disarm Hezbollah as Envoy Calls Nation \u2018Failed State\u2019<\/h3>\n

\"Fox-News\"<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Trump administration\u00a0<\/a>is ramping up pressure on the\u00a0Lebanese government\u00a0to disarm the Iran-backed terrorist movement, with one senior U.S. official terming Lebanon a “failed state” for its inaction.<\/p>\n

U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Thomas Barrack, who also serves as envoy to Syria, said Saturday in Bahrain that Lebanon is a “failed state” because of its “paralyzed government,” The Associated Press reported. He also noted that Hezbollah retains 40,000 fighters and between 15,000 and 20,000 rockets and missiles, noting the terror group pays its militia $2,200 per month, whereas the Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers earn $275 a month and have inferior equipment as well.<\/p>\n

The U.S. brokered a ceasefire in November 2024 between the U.S.-designated terrorist organization Hezbollah and Israel. In August, Lebanon\u2019s government accepted an American plan to disarm Hezbollah by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n
