Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Badr Organization, the Al-Ashtar Brigades - these are just some of the terrorist groups that function as proxies of Iran's Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei's regime.
Since 1979, Iran's terrorist proxies have wrought terror attacks and political upheavals in the Middle East. This includes the brutal assault on Israel last Oct. 07, 2023.
The Ayatollah's reign of terror is driven by a mix of geopolitical, ideological and security objectives. They are: to destroy and eliminate the state of Israel and oppose western imperialism; to establish Iran as the leader of the global Shiite community and the broader Islamic world; to export Islamic Shia to the Middle East and beyond (Shia laws are based on extreme fundamentalist tenets which are both oppressive and violent); for Iran to become the dominant power in the Gulf; for Iran to be a nuclear power, thereby enabling her to project power worldwide; to upend the rule-based, free market, democratic system that was established by the United States and replace it with a world order that forwards the Iranian agenda (this is done in tandem with Russia, China and North Korea).
