What is Iran’s ‘Axis of Resistance’?

Iran’s ‘Axis of Resistance’

Iran’s “axis of resistance” is a coalition of militant groups and states united in their opposition to Israel and the United States. The network includes Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Hamas, the Syrian government, and the Houthis of Yemen, as well as various armed factions in Iraq and Syria.

The coalition was formed to counter Israeli and American influence in the Middle East. Iran has nurtured these organizations to empower them to launch assaults against Israel and other nations, including Saudi Arabia.

The axis has been tested by Israel’s recent operations in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and even Iran, where it eliminated a prominent Hamas leader during the inauguration of Iran’s president.

The dynamics of military activity in the region are complex, with significant operations occurring in areas such as Homs, Beirut, and Damascus, amidst tensions involving neighboring nations and groups.
