Shia Cleric Muhammad Al-Fuani Condemns Hezbollah, Predicts Its Rapid Collapse

Shia cleric Muhammad Al-Fuani, living in exile, sharply criticized Hezbollah in an interview with Kan News, accusing the group of causing Lebanon's destruction and damaging its reputation. He claimed Hezbollah has brought ruin upon Lebanon, making the country a target of hatred and contempt. Al-Fuani questioned the organization's credibility, stating that although Hezbollah claims religious and moral authority, its actions contradict its words.

He also condemned Iran's influence over Lebanon's Shia community, accusing Tehran of brainwashing the vulnerable with the ideology of absolute religious rule, turning them into victims who fight and die for false dreams. Al-Fuani said those who lost children now harbor resentment toward Hezbollah. When asked about the possibility of Hezbollah disarming, he dismissed the notion that it is impossible, citing the group's retreat from Syria as evidence of its vulnerability.

Al-Fuani predicted Hezbollah's standing among Lebanese citizens is fragile and warned that if all countries act against it simultaneously, the group would collapse within 72 hours, similar to its defeat in Syria. He concluded with a conciliatory message to the Israeli public, emphasizing that Shia Muslims are not part of the terrorist organization and expressing hope for good relations between Israelis and Lebanese, urging the Israeli government to pursue this goal.
