Strait, Hill, and Lebanese Invoice
The article highlights the deterioration of maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, where the number of ships passing through has decreased to five per day after exceeding 130 ships daily before the February war. The strait is considered a sovereignty issue for Iran, and negotiations regarding it are linked to political and security tensions in the region, especially with Israel's ongoing control of the Tallah Al-Tahir hill in southern Lebanon and its escalation of military operations there. The issue of the hill is also used as a bargaining chip within regional and international conflicts, with Israel tying any negotiations to Lebanese concessions on sovereignty. The Lebanese government has expressed that it has little choice between negotiation and silence, while Hezbollah focuses on accusing the government and authority of trying to strip sovereignty. The article concludes by noting that the decision to go to war remains beyond Lebanon's control and that negotiations are the only way to manage stability, emphasizing that true sovereignty requires decision-making to be exclusively in the hands of the state, not external forces.
