Autopsy of Foreign Policy and the Stances of the Western Opponent Actors in Lebanon’s 33-day War

With the beginning of the 33-day war against Lebanon, global and regional actors adopted different orientations and stances towards it according to their interests. The efforts of western governments and the U.S. as the super powers of the world, in support of Isreal and against Hizbullah, are obvious manifestations of the issues of this war. The present paper is aimed at explaining and analyzing the stances and policies of the U.S. government and western governments based on Rosenau foreign policy theory. The main question is “how was the foreign policy and stances of the western governments and the U.S. in the 33-day war of the Lebanon?” In the present paper, the different aspects of these stances are studied through documentary method. The results show that the interests of these countries are very overlapping and they are trying to undermine the Resistance Front and to prevent the deployment of Iran`s geopolitical sphere. Therefore, European and the United States governments strengthen, equip and support the Zionist regime thoroughly. United States managed the war politically and European governments went along with the U.S. according to their interests and goals.
