Iran's support for various regional groups, including Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas, and Iraqi militias, has significantly increased, heightening tensions across the Middle East. These alliances bolster Iran's influence and pose challenges to neighboring countries and Western interests, as conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq become more intertwined with Iran's strategic objectives. The escalation has prompted concerns from Israel, the United States, and other allies, who fear a broader regional conflict. Diplomatic efforts are underway to de-escalate tensions, but the deepening alliances suggest that the Middle East may face prolonged instability and violence in the coming months.
