Abstract:

Since the establishment of Shiite theocracy in 1979, Iran has been a leading sponsor of various Middle Eastern terrorist groups. Lebanese Hezbollah is currently the most important ally of Iran, securing its strategic interests in the Levant. Although Hamas and a few other Palestinian groups are under Iran’s influence, they are not controlled by its government. The Hamas terrorists attacks on Israel on 78 October and tensions on the Lebanese-Israeli border create a serious risk of more active and indirect Iranian support for extremists in the Gaza Strip, a scenario that Israel and the U.S. want to avoid or postpone.
