User:Skakkle/proxy of Iran

A proxy of Iran is a non-state military group that receives funding or other support from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

As with all proxy wars, while Iran's clients' capabilities are heavily and closely influenced by their sponsor— Iran— they often not directly controlled. These groups' degree of autonomy or self-reliance varies.

Iran's major adversaries are Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.
