The Lebanese Army has issued multiple statements emphasizing its commitment to maintaining security, civil peace, and preventing any breaches such as road blockages or encroachments on public and private property. The army, described by Lebanese officials as the shield of the nation and guardian of its borders, is urged to be supported by citizens and political factions to overcome current challenges facing Lebanon. President Joseph Aoun reaffirmed that reforms have begun and are irreversible, stressing the importance of resolving outstanding issues carefully and prioritizing Lebanon's interests. Meanwhile, the Lebanese government is pursuing efforts to disarm Hezbollah, a move that has sparked debate about its potential to either establish full state sovereignty or provoke further conflict. The Gulf has offered financial aid to Lebanon contingent on Hezbollah's disarmament. Iranian political figure Ali Larijani stated Hezbollah possesses political maturity and does not require external oversight, while Lebanese MP Firas Hamdan emphasized the state's exclusive right to bear arms and defend itself, noting that Hezbollah was involved in signing the Tom Brake document on arms. Hamdan also expressed hope for a positive Iranian role during Larijani's visit to Lebanon and called for swift and comprehensive reforms. Hezbollah has responded with threats to topple the government if disarmament plans proceed, with MP Ihab Hamadeh asserting the group will not relinquish any weapons. Analysts highlight that disarming Hezbollah could either end Israeli attacks or embolden them, referencing situations in Syria and the West Bank.
