The Iranian leadership formed proxy militias and organi za tions in the Middle East to spread and enlarge the Shiite a nd their invasion has sourced Arab unity which was out of sight over long




The Iranian leadership formed proxy militia and organization in most and Muslim across the world. Among these organizations, Badr. The Badr Organization known as the Badr Brigades or Badr Corps is an Iraqi political party headed. The Badr Brigade was the Iran-officered military wing of the Iran-based Shia Islamic party, supreme council for Islamic. (SCIRI), formed in 1982. Since the 2003invasion of Iraq most of Badr's fighters have entered the new Iraqi army and police force. Politically, Badr Brigade and SCIRI were considered to be one party since 2003, but have now unofficially separated with the Badr Organization now an official Iraqi political party. Badr Brigade forces, and their Iranian commanders, have come to prominence in 2014 fighting ISIS in Iraq. The organization was set up in Iran in 1982 as the military wing of the supreme council for Islamic revolutionary in Iraq. Their strength estimated around 15, 000. Returning to Iraq following the 2003 coalition invasion, the group changed its name from brigade to organization in response to the attempted voluntary disarming of Iraqi militias by the coalition provisional authority. The paramilitary commandos, dressed in garish camouflage uniforms and driving around in pick-up trucks, are dreaded in Sunni neighbourhoods. People whom they have openly arrested have frequently been found dead several days later, with their bodies bearing obvious marks of torture.


Hezbollah is Shiites militia. Hezbollah was conceived by Muslim clerics and funded by Iran and established in 1982. Hezbollah has grown to an organization with seats in the Lebanese government, a radio and Lebanese a satellite station programs for social development and large-scale military deployment of fighters beyond Lebanon's borders. The organization has been called a state within state. Hezbollah is part of the March 8 alliances within Lebanon, in opposition to the March 14 alliances. Hezbollah maintains strong support among Lebanon's Shiite population, while Sunnis have disagreed with the group's agenda. Hezbollah receives military training, weapons, and financial support from Iran, and political support from Syria. Hezbollah and its opposition allies control of eleven of thirty cabinets seats; effectively veto power. In August 2008, Lebanon's new Cabinet unanimously approved a draft policy statement which secures Hezbollah's existence. Hezbollah has helped the Syrian government in Syrian war fight against the Sunni Syrian opposition. In the 1990s, Hezbollah transformed from a revolutionary group into a political one, in a process which is described as the Lebanonisation of Hezbollah. Unlike its uncompromising revolutionary stance in the 1980s, Hezbollah conveyed a lenient stance towards the Lebanese state. In 1992 Hezbollah decided to participate in elections, and Ali Khamenei supreme of Iran endorsed it. Former Hezbollah secretary general, Subhi Al-Tufayi contested this decision, which led to a schism in Hezbollah. Hezbollah won all twelve seats which were on its electoral list.


At the beginning many Hezbollah leaders have maintained that the movement was "not an organization, for its members carry no cards and bear no specific responsibilities and that the movement does not have "a clearly defined organizational structure.The supreme decision-making bodies of the Hezbollah were divided between the Majlis al-Shura (Consultative Assembly) which was headed by 12 senior clerical members with responsibility for tactical decisions and supervision of overall Hizballah activity throughout Lebanon, and the Majlis al-Shura al-Karar (the Deciding Assembly), headed by Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah and composed of eleven other clerics with responsibility for all strategic matters. Within the Majlis al-Shura, there existed seven specialized committees dealing with ideological, financial, military and political, judicial, informational and social affairs. In turn, the Majlis al-Shura and these seven committees were replicated in each of Hizballah's three main operational areas. Since the supreme leader of Iran is the ultimate clerical authority, Hezbollah's leaders have appealed to him "for guidance and directives in cases when Hezbollah's collective leadership [was] too divided over issues and faied to reach a consensus. After the death of Iran's first Supreme Leader, Khomeini, Hezbollah's governing bodies developed a more "independent role" and appealed to Iran less often. In 2010, Iran's parliamentary speaker Ali larijani said, "Iran takes pride in Lebanon's Islamic resistance movement for its steadfast Islamic stance. "Hezbollah not only has armed and political wings – it also boasts an extensive social development program. Hezbollah currently operates at least four hospitals, twelve clinics, twelve schools and two agricultural centres that provide farmers with technical assistance and training. It also has an environmental department and an extensive social assistance program.


Medical care is also cheaper than in most of the country's private hospitals and free for Hezbollah members. Hezbollah operates a satellite television station, Almanar. Al-Manar broadcasts from Beirut, Lebanon. Hezbollah launched the station in 1991 with the help of Iranian funds. Al-Manar. Hezbollah does not reveal its armed strength. Hezbollah's armed wing comprises 1,000 full-time Hezbollah members, along with a further 6,000–10,000 volunteers. According to the Iranian fars news agency. Hezbollah has up to 65,000 fighters. It is often described as more militarily powerful than the Lebanese Army. Israeli commander Gui Zur called Hizbollah: "by far the greatest guerrilla group in the world. Hezbollah's strength was enhanced by the dispatching of one thousand to two thousand members of the Iranian revolutionary guards and the financial backing of Iran. Iranian clerics, most notably Fzlollah Mahallati supervised this activity. It became the main politico-military force among the Shia community in Lebanon and the main arm of what became known later as the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon.


Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, Jam'īyat al-Wifāq al-Waṭanī al-Islāmīyah), or Al-Wefaq for short is a Bahraini political society, and the largest party in the Bahrain, both in terms of its membership and its results at the polls. Although it is by far the single largest party, with 18 representatives, in the 40 member Bahamian parliament. Sheikh Ali Salman is chief of Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society in Bahrain. Al-Wefaq has direct relationship with all Shiites organization in the middle east like Hezbollah, Badr, Houtis.Ansar Allah known more popularly as the Houthis are a group operating in Yemen. The group takes its name from Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi who launched an insurgencyin 2004 and was reportedly killed by Yemen forces that September. In 2014–15, led by Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.The Houthi movement began as the Believing Youth (BY), which was founded in 1992 in saada governorate by by either Houthi family member or his brother Hussein al-Houthi.By 21 September 2014, Houthis were said to control parts of the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, including government buildings and a radio station. While control of the capital expanded to the rest of the Sana'a, as well as other towns such as Rada city.On 20 January 2015, Houthi rebels seized the presidential palace in the capital. While President Abd Rabbuh Mansor Hadi was in the presidential palace during the takeover, he was safe. The movement officially took control of the Yemeni government on 6 February, dissolving parliament and declaring its revolutionary committee to be the acting authority in Yemen. On 20 March 2015.On 27 March 2015, in response to perceived Houthi threats to Sunni factions in the region, Saudi Arabia along with Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Sudan led a gulf coalition airstrike against Yemen. The military coalition includes the United States who is helping with the planning of air strikes, as well as logistical and intelligence (spying) support. There is a difference between the al-Houthi family, which has about twenty members and the Houthi movement, which took the name "Houthi" after the death of Hussein Badreddin in 2004.Membership of the group had between 1,000 and 3,000 fighters as of 2015 and between 2,000 and 10,000 fighters as of 2009. In the Yemen it was claimed, however, that they had over 100,000 fighters. According to Houthi expert Ahmed Al-Bahri the Houthis had a total of 100,000-120,000 followers, including both armed fighters and unarmed loyalists.


The Houthis began as a theological movement that preached tolerances and peace and held a considerably broad-minded educational and cultural vision. , Houthi leaders such as Issam Al-'Imad have stated as early as 2011 that they are religiously and ideologically influenced by Iran, and as of 2014 it has been observered that “The Houthi group’s approach is in many ways similar to that of Hizbollah in Lebanon. Both religiously based, Iran-backed groups follow the same military doctrine and glorify the Khomeini revolution in Iran Houthis belong to the Zaidi branch of Islam also known as Fivers, a sect of Islam almost exclusively present in Yemen. They are known for being most similar to Sunni Muslims in matters of religious law and rulings. They do however; believe in the concept of an imamate as being essential to their religion, which makes them distinct from Sunnis. However, they are also regularly accused, even by fellow Zaidis, of secretly being converts or followers of the twelve sects, which is the official religion of their ally and backer Iran.


The Yemeni government has also accused the Houthis of having ties to external backers which is the Iranian leadership. The group's flag reads as following: "God is Great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, and Victory to Islam". This motto is modelled on the motto of revolutionary Iran Commenting on the meaning of the slogan, Ali al Bukhayti, the former spokesperson and official media face of the Houthis said: "We do not really want death to anyone. The slogan is simply against the interference of those governments. Al-Houthi leaders include Hussein Badreddin, Sheikh Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, Yahia Badreddin al-Houthi, Abdul-Karim Badreddin al-Houthi, Badr Eddin al-Houthi, Abdullah Eida al-Ruzami was the military leader, Abu Ali Abdullah al-Hakem al-Houthi,Mohammed Abdulsalam and SheikhFares Mana'a.

The government of Iraqi and Syria are proxy governments of the Iranian leadership. Elsewhere wherever, a Shiite population lives like Pakistan, India, turkey and even Latin American, the Iranian leadership formed organizations that serves their interest. Some Shiite clerics believe that the Sunnis Muslims are not Muslims. Sunni Muslims are the orthodox and traditionalist branch of Islam. The word Sunni comes from "Ahl al-Sunna", the people of the tradition. The tradition in this case refers to practices based on precedent or reports of the actions of the Prophet Muhammad and those close to him. Sunnis venerate all the prophets mentioned in the Koran, but particularly Muhammad as the final prophet. All subsequent Muslim leaders are seen as temporal figures. Egypt is home to some of Sunni Islam's oldest centres of learning. In contrast to Shia, Sunni religious teachers and leaders have historically come under state control. The Sunni tradition also emphasises a codified system of Islamic law and adherence to four schools of law.


There are Shiite communities in Afghanistan, India, Kuwait, Lebanon, Pakistan, Qatar, Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The Iranian revolution of 1979 launched a radical Shiite Islamist agenda that was perceived as a challenge to conservative Sunni regimes, particularly in the Gulf. Tehran’s policy of supporting Shiite militias and parties beyond its borders was matched by the Gulf States, which strengthened their links to Sunni governments and movements abroad. Discontent among the Shiite has fuelled street protests in Bahrain. During the civil war in Lebanon, Shiite gained a strong political voice because of the military activities of Hezbollah. In Pakistan and Afghanistan, hardliner Sunni militant groups - such as the Taliban - have often attacked Shiite places of worship. The current conflicts in Iraq and Syria have also acquired strong sectarian overtones. Meanwhile, many of their counterparts from the Shiite community have been fighting for - or alongside - government forces.

The Iranian leadership set flame in the Middle East by igniting sectarian against the Sunnis people in the Middle East, as three Arab capitals falls under their control and they fail to add another one as a result as collation of Arab countries leading by Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabian forces, joined by nine other countries, have launched a military operation in Yemen against Shiite Houthi rebels, the Saudi ambassador to the US said. The offensive, which started with airstrikes, will also involve “other military assets.”According to Ambassador Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir, the military operation in Yemen started at 7 p.m. EST (11 p.m. GMT). US President Obama has authorized the provision of logistical and intelligence support to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-led military operations in Yemen, the White House said in a statement, confirming that Washington had close communication with Hadi, the Saudis and other GCC states prior to the launch of the military operation. the Saudi-led coalition has declared Yemeni airspace a “restricted zone.” Ships in the region have also been urged not to approach Yemen’s ports due to the ongoing military operation. The majority of the strikes around Sanaa hit residential areas located near the capital’s international airport. Government buildings and the airport were also hit during the offensive. Reports from the ground indicate that Saudi forces have bombed an office belonging to Houthi rebels in Sanaa’s Jiraf area. A Houthi-run TV channel reported dozens of civilian casualties following airstrikes north of Sanaa.



Since the Iranian revolutionary in 1979, Iran has created turmoil and disrupt stability in the Gulf region, but Arab In return, the Gulf countries have not strong measured to confront the Iranian leadership bad intentions. Iran has demonstrated provocative political conduct when dealing with the Gulf countries, but these countries have turned a blind eye to Tehran's violations. It seems that they routinely ignore these violations in order to maintain stability in the Gulf and to uphold the memory of good relations with the Iranian people rather than the memory of war. The people of the Gulf are making a mistake by not adoptin g a stricter stance toward the Iranian violations that target one Gulf country’s sovereignty and allow Iran to intervene in its affairs
