The U.S. has expressed its expectation that the Lebanese government will disarm militant groups within its borders, as stated by U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller. This statement comes in the context of ongoing tensions and conflicts involving Hezbollah, a powerful militia with significant influence in Lebanon. The U.S. has been pushing for the Lebanese government to assert control over its territory and ensure that no armed groups operate outside the state's authority. This call for disarmament is part of broader U.S. efforts to stabilize the region, reduce the influence of Iran-backed groups like Hezbollah, and promote peace and security in Lebanon. The Lebanese government, however, faces numerous challenges including political paralysis, economic crisis, and the complex dynamics of Hezbollah's role in both Lebanese politics and regional conflicts.
