The mask has fallen, and it is no longer possible today to market the same lies about an “Axis of Resistance,” a “Front of Steadfastness,” or a “Project of Liberation.” What we are witnessing is not a passing escalation, but the end of an entire demonic alliance built on ruin, nourished by the blood of peoples, and perfected in trading causes in order to rule by iron and fire. This alliance, which brought together the regime of the mullahs in Iran, Hezbollah, the Assad regime, and Nicolás Maduro’s Venezuela, was never a front of dignity, but a black network of interests united by hostility toward the world rather than love for their homelands.
From Tehran to Beirut’s southern suburb, from Yemen to Gaza, and from Damascus to Caracas, an alliance took shape that resembles nothing but itself: failed regimes, militias above the state, a shadow economy, smuggling, drugs, money laundering, and weapons aimed at the chests of peoples before any external enemy. Venezuela has turned into a looted state with a displaced people, and Lebanon into a hostage—its decision, economy, and future abducted, reduced to an Iranian mailbox and a message of fire on the borders of others.
As for Iran, the so-called “leader of the axis,” it is today collapsing from within. In the streets of Tehran and across its cities, the Iranian people are rising up against the regime of the mullahs—not against America or Israel, but against repression, poverty, corruption, and the theft of life in the name of religion. An uprising that exposes a regime incapable of ruling its own people, choosing instead to flee outward and export its crisis to the region. A regime that fears its own people cannot lead a liberation project, and a regime that kills its sons and daughters has no legitimacy to lecture others about resistance.
This axis claims to confront “global arrogance,” while its real enemy is its own peoples. It trades in “Palestine” without liberating a single inch of land, using the cause as a cover to occupy Arab capitals and destroy their societies. What was called resistance was nothing more than a transnational mafia that monopolizes weapons and imposes its will by force.
This alliance is falling because the age of chaos has ended. The world no longer tolerates states outside the international system and militias without accountability. What is unfolding is not a comprehensive war, but a cold dismantling: economic strangulation, political isolation, and security attrition until collapse. Iran today is in a position of eroding defense, and Hezbollah has shifted from a card of strength into a deadly burden on Lebanon and a direct cause of its isolation and destruction.
Lebanon was never a partner in this alliance, but its victim. Today, with the exposure of the axis and the moral collapse of its patron in Tehran, Lebanon—president and government alike—stands before a fateful choice: either to sink with a dying alliance, or to cut the rope and save what remains of a homeland.
What is being mourned today is not merely a political alliance, but a grand lie: the lie that weapons outside the state protect sovereignty, that militias create dignity, and that chaos is the path to liberation. The “Axis of Resistance” has fallen because it betrayed its peoples and destroyed its homelands, and because its own peoples—foremost among them the Iranian people—have declared rebellion against it. The fall may not be clean, but it is final. And history will record that the most dangerous thing faced by the peoples of the region was an alliance that claimed resistance, practiced occupation in its name, and left behind nothing but ruin and blood.
