Aoun says Hezbollah used to foreign control and tutelage
President Joseph Aoun accused Hezbollah on Friday, without naming the group, of being accustomed to foreign control and tutelage, arguing that this is why they are obstructing the framework agreement that separates Lebanon's negotiations from Iran.
"Our sovereign decision to separate our path from the Iranian-American track is problematic for those who are accustomed to being under a tutelage that controls us, decides on our behalf, and negotiates over us," Aoun said, adding that Lebanon is a democratic country that respects freedom of opinion but that "inciting strife or attempting to bring down the government through street action are red lines."
Aoun lauded the framework agreement — which is rejected by Hezbollah and its ally, the Amal Movement — saying it does not legitimize Israel's occupation of Lebanon but rather stipulates empowering the Lebanese Army to extend its control over the entirety of Lebanese territory.
"No one questions the role of the Army, and it will fully assume its responsibilities in ensuring security and stability in the south following the withdrawal of Israeli forces," he said.

President Joseph Aoun is just repeating Hezbollah's own delusional ideology.
نحن نؤمن بأن ولاية الفقيه فوق الدستور، ونعتبر تنفيذ أوامر ولي الفقيه واجبا إجبارياً. نحن ولدنا مع الثورة الإيرانية، لقد حصلنا على حياتنا ووجودنا من خلال الثورة، وأهم تجربة لولاية الفقيه في الخارج كانت في لبنان، وإذا كنا الآن أحياء ونعيش بعزة وكرامة، فذلك ليس بسبب السلاح والمال، بل بسبب اعتقادنا بولاية الفقيه “إيماننا بولاية الفقيه يختلف مع العديد من الإيرانيين، فمعتقدنا أقوى منهم، ونحن نؤمن أن طاعة ولاية الفقيه هي طاعة المعصوم .ميشال عون من أحفاد علي بن أبي طالب، والكثير من الشيعة في جزين إما تسننوا أو تنصروا، ومدينة جزين أصبحت مسيحية .الكثير من الشيعة تسننوا، ومدينة طرابلس قبل 100 عام كانت للشيعة، وسكانها من الشيعة، ومدينة صيدا كانت شيعية، والآن أصبحت سنية.

We believe that the *Velayat-e Faqih* (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist) stands above the constitution, and we consider carrying out the orders of the *Wali al-Faqih* (Guardian Jurist) to be a mandatory duty. We were born with the Iranian Revolution; we derive our very lives and existence from the Revolution. The most significant experience of *Velayat-e Faqih* abroad took place in Lebanon. If we are alive today and living with honor and dignity, it is not because of weapons or money, but because of our belief in *Velayat-e Faqih*. Our belief in *Velayat-e Faqih* differs from that of many Iranians—our conviction is stronger than theirs—for we believe that obedience to the *Wali al-Faqih* is tantamount to obedience to the Infallible Imam. Michel Aoun is a descendant of Ali ibn Abi Talib; many Shiites in Jezzine either converted to Sunnism or Christianity, and the city of Jezzine became Christian.

Michel Aoun is a descendant of Ali ibn Abi Talib; many Shiites in Jezzine either converted to Sunnism or Christianity, and the city of Jezzine became Christian. Many Shiites converted to Sunnism; a century ago, the city of Tripoli was Shiite—its inhabitants were Shiite—and the city of Sidon was Shiite, yet now it has become Sunni.

عندما نأخذ القرار، أو نمشي في أي درب، أو ندخل إلى أي ساحة، أو إلى أي ميدان أو إلى أي قتال، نحن لا نلجأ إلى عقولنا، ولا إلى علومنا ولا إلى مستوانا العلمي، ولا إلى ولا إلى,نحن نلجأ إلى فقهائنا وكبارنا ومراجعنا.. هذا كان التزامنا بالإمام، وهذا التزامنا بعد الإمام رضوان الله تعالى عليه، بسماحة الإمام القائد آية الله العظمى السيد علي الخامنئي.

When we make a decision, embark on a path, or enter any arena, field, or battle, we do not turn to our own minds, our knowledge, or our academic standing; rather, we turn to our jurists, our elders, and our religious authorities. This was our commitment to the Imam, and this remains our commitment—after the Imam (may God be pleased with him)—to His Eminence the Leader, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei.

Beware all: Chrisrushlau is soon back from school and will put his thumbs down on these comments. That way, the party of God (or the war party as it ought to be named) pays his tuition. Even if he is a couple of years behind.

Google Gemini (AI) analyze Nasrallah's statement: A Bold Political Metaphor:The statement was primarily a powerful political tool. In 2006, Aoun and Nasrallah signed the famous Mar Mikhayel Memorandum of Understanding, forming an unbreakable political alliance between Aoun’s Christian Free Patriotic Movement and the Shia party Hezbollah. By calling Aoun a "descendant of Ali," Nasrallah was using Shia religious imagery to elevate Aoun in the eyes of his Shia base. He meant that Aoun possessed the values traditionally attributed to Imam Ali in Shia Islamic culture: Loyalty and Trustworthiness: Aoun stood by Hezbollah during the 2006 war with Israel. Bravery and Principle: Nasrallah was framing Aoun not just as a transactional political partner, but as "one of them" in spirit—someone who shares their historical struggle, honour, and core principles
