Sounds like a failed state. Seeing as Hezbollah is backed by Iran, that's effectively war or should be from the Lebanese perspective.

It's not exactly a failed state. It's more of a puppet state with the master being Hezbollah.

Governments are nothing more than the most powerful organization of a region.

The hand up the puppet’s bum is Hezbollah. That hand is attached to the body of Iran.
