Hezbollah's goal: Bankrupt Lebanon, destroy it from within, emigration, then when there is a vacuum, fill the vacuum, take over all aspects of the state with parallel system...hollow it out, fill it in with Iran, just like was done to parts of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, etc...

The Tehran model is always the same, slowly consume everything like an anaconda...bankruptcy, environmental destruction, replace every normal thing with underground arms factories, missile trafficking, religious education and food stamps but nothing successful.
Look at Iraq with the country owing a report $4 billion or more for energy imports FROM Iran...Iran systematically dismantled Iraq, moved the industry to Iran...like the Soviets moving industry to the Urals and putting a famine on Ukraine...empty one place out, make it dependent
Tehran views the region as its "near abroad"...so Iraq, a state that was once wealthier, that sits on an ocean of oil, has to import its energy needs and barely has water. How is that possible. Iran is like a sponge...sponging up Iraq.
And Lebanon...once a successful, wealthy nation, the "switzerland" or whatever of the region...now partially consumed by Iran, no energy...begging to important basic things...inflation...bankruptcy.
Is it all Iran's fault?...no, the problems of Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen were also due to other issues too; dictators, other wars, extremism, the US and others that did them no favors over time...but Iran isn't helping, it accelerated and hollowed out.
But one can see a systematic goal of Iran moving into countries with parallel IRGC-style militias that slowly eat up state resources, move the resources abroad, hollow things out, push emigration, creating dependency on Tehran and vicious cycle.
