The Shiah muslim are the majority of the iranian population , and that's where the support comes from . Hezbollah are not just supported by iran economically and logistically , but also in training army units , and political interference . To help lebanon you first need to back iran off them , then lebanon might become as they called themselves in the past "the swiss of the middle east"
