"Iran's Strategic Influence in the Middle East: A Comprehensive Analysis"
TL;DR
Iran, despite being an outsider in the predominantly Arabic and Sunni Middle East, has managed to project its military power through support for over 20 armed groups. These groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iraqi armed groups, and Syrian armed groups, receive various forms of support from Iran, such as weapons, training, and financial aid. Iran's influence has led to increased tensions with Israel and the United States, with recent conflicts in Gaza and Syria renewing fears of a broader war.
