Lebanese Academic Charles Chartouni: An alliance with the U.S. will end Hezbollah's Iran-led subversive policy in Lebanon; Lebanon doesn't seek war with Israel – Hezbollah does
In a July 1, 2025 interview on YouTube, Lebanese academic Charles Chartouni said it is no secret that he is an ally of the United States and that he would rely on the U.S. to help end the "attack" on Lebanon by Hezbollah.
Chartouni said that Hezbollah's collaboration with Iran serves as a catalyst for promoting "subversive" Shiite policies across the Middle East. He added that, given the situation, he has no issue allying with any foreign power to help change the status quo.
Chartouni stated that Hezbollah is not a Lebanese political party, but a subversive group driven by Iranian policy. He emphasized that it was Hezbollah, not the Lebanese people, that wanted war with Israel, and he noted that Lebanon has international agreements with the State of Israel.
