Exclusive information obtained by "Warda" from diplomatic and political circles indicates an unprecedented phase of financial and economic pressure on Lebanon from international and European parties. This is seen as a direct repercussion of past policies and certain political forces' affiliations with regional issues.
According to leaked data, European countries now possess comprehensive information, including the movements of money, individuals, and entities involved in money laundering, as well as networks funding outlawed organizations, drug, diamond, and artifact smuggling, and illicit trade.
These sources reveal that Western capitals have made a decisive decision to end the previous era of leniency that dominated past decades and initiate a phase of strict oversight and direct financial pressure.
Sources told "Warda" that the upcoming siege will not only target formal banking and financial institutions but will also involve stringent intelligence oversight on every "dollar" or "euro" entering or leaving Lebanon.
This scrutiny will also extend to the operations of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and humanitarian and relief associations in Lebanon to verify the final beneficiaries and prevent any funding from benefiting political and military figures or their close affiliates.
The data warns that the forthcoming financial chokehold will peak by the beginning of the new year, directly impacting the Lebanese public in all its facets and sects. This results from years of political and ideological blind allegiances among various ruling factions, placing the country on the brink of significant social and economic upheaval.
