The Iranian regime appears to be at its weakest point in its nearly half century in power. For the past two weeks, Iranians throughout the country have taken to the streets in protest over Iran’s deepening economic crises, stirring up memories of the Mahsa Amini protests of 2022-2023 and the Green Movement demonstrations of 2009-2010. This is compounded by a record level of inflation, a potentially existential water crisis, and an open admission from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that his government is incapable of meeting the needs of its own people. Moreover, these protests follow a series of strategic setbacks for the regime, including Israel’s near destruction of Iran’s foreign proxies, the Assad regime’s fall in Syria in December 2024, and the devastation of the twelve-day war in June 2025.

He observed that there is international interest in Lebanon, provided that we choose the right path.
He indicated that if this path is rejected, countries such as the United States or Saudi Arabia will interact with Lebanon in the way they deem appropriate.
"If Lebanon follows the right path, there will be greater and more interest than in past years; thus, this is the opportunity in itself," Hankach said.
"The Kataeb's position is straightforward: we are committed to supporting a candidate who can effectively lead during this pivotal time. Among the strongest contenders for this role is Army Commander General Joseph Aoun," he added.
He also noted that there are other figures, such as former Minister Jihad Azour, among others, depending on intersections with other political factions.
In an interview with Voice of Lebanon, Hankach reaffirmed that there are available options, but the strongest candidate today, considering both internal and external intersections, is General Joseph Aoun.
He pointed out that, by nature, the army commander meets the necessary specifications and enjoys the confidence of the international community, affirming that efforts are underway to secure as much consensus as possible for him.
