Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis: Iran’s ‘Axis of Resistance,’ Explained | WSJ 

💥

USA is doomed for this exact reason

Exactly, that's why it's clear that russia is behind all these sudden conflict flare ups around the region. Who benefits from all these issues in Gaza and Yemen? It's not hamas, the houthis or Iran (the 2 former are being bombed into oblivion), it's only russia that wins with all this mess.

Wow...quoting someone else is so profound 😂😂😂 🤪 🤪 🤪 🤪 🤪 🤪 🤪 🤪 🤪

It dont matter since Israel dont care for the hostages

Don't forget "soft" influence in the form of Al Jazeera and influence in western academia and media through "donations" and "investment"

consider Saudi Arabia almost the same as Qatar, Doha, Dubai.

​@@hadror13 Al Jazeera is just blatant propaganda now.

​@@hadror13like Aipac?

are you that naive to think they don't?

@@7135HOLLY Obviously they don’t.

@@7135HOLLY they don't, they never had. usa came to them and the middle east.

@@7135HOLLYyou’re the naive one for thinking that 😂😂

​@@reziinho1414 They have no military bases in those countries.

Is it wrong ?

Is... Real?

Because they are the same or isreal controls the US

First you need to be educated. Iran backed are non state actors in a country that has army. Don't be stupid

@@nwankwosampson-xk3jcIsrael started off as a non state actor until they took land from Palestinians and formed their state. Shoot some countries don’t acknowledge them as a country and still see them as US backed non state actors

Are u Joking with us ? Türkiye is against iran we don’t support policies of Iran in the Middle East but also we don’t support USA in the Middle East if USA continues support PKK which is terrorist organisation

Turkey is not a part of the Axis of Resistance. Turkey is west's puppet

not to mention russia's involvement

Illegal wars, occupations, regime change, and proxy wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen.

Turkey doesn't like Iran. They fight in Syria and back on different sides with Armenia and Azerbaijan. It doesn't like the West either, anyway, and clandestinely helped ISIS when it suited them.

Hamas and the greater Muslim Brotherhood movement are aligned with Iran based on their shared goal to topple US backed regional governments (lsraeI, Saudi, UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait). The Muslim brotherhood and Iran are in a marriage of convenience.

not really... all Abrahamic religions are the same thing. All of them believe in a Messiah, even Sunnis believe in the Shia Mahdi!!!! So no its not that big of a distinction

You over estimate the differences. Shia and Sunni are both Muslims. The view that there is a forever and violent war and hatred between Shia and Sunni and is the defining character of how countries in the Muslim world operate is highly questionable.

This days muslims least bother about difference, we are Muslim only

They hate the Jews more than they hate each other.

Lol will they? I suppose Iran will let women have more rights too.

The west wouldn't lose that war though.. it wouldn't even be close.

Who will lose? If you think the US and Israel will lose a war with terrorists and Iran you're sadly mistaken. Not only is Israel a pretty powerful force by itself, the US is still the most powerful military in the world.

@@maximusextreme3725 bald of you assuming that the US and israel aren't terrorists themselves

@@begonethot9338if they are, we wouldn’t have any more conflict. The middle east would be glass by now

Interesting 🤔

ISIS… Created by USA!

Soleimani didn’t just “know” how to coordinate groups in the region, he actively was coordinating them to attack Americans. Cry about 1953 all you want, but Soleimani was a terrorist and was just used to take out another terrorist, plain and simple. Enemy of my enemy.

Yes also Soliemani was a veteran of the Iran/Iraq war, that's why he is well respected among Iranians

"solemani helped the US get rid of ISIS". No… no he didn't. The US did that with the help of the YPG, KRG, SDF, and Iraqi army. The Iranians were actively fighting the US when we were fighting Daesh. Stop your lies!

Absolutely!! Watch Germany again too. They'll come in and mind everyone's business but overwhelm even the jews. It's okay though God(Jesus) comes soon after..

Nope. That was very different. That was several equally powerful empires, pushing borders against each other, for which archduke Ferdinand was the catalyst. This is so completely asymmetric. It’s not even funny.

true

Protecting our asset.

​@@BboyVReckwhat assest ......name any .....

@@BboyVReck you mean imperialism and colonialism

Sure.

@@abulhassan3697 I'll let the AI explain it. The US has been active in the Middle East for several decades, mainly to protect its national security interests and to support its regional allies. Some of the main reasons for US involvement in the Middle East are: To prevent a hostile power from controlling the region’s oil reserves and using them as a weapon against the US and its allies1. To deter and counter threats from Iran, which has been pursuing nuclear weapons and supporting proxy groups that destabilize the region23. To fight against terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and ISIS, which have launched attacks on the US and its partners, and to prevent them from establishing safe havens in the region24. To promote peace and stability among the countries in the region, especially between Israel and its Arab neighbors, and to resolve conflicts through diplomacy12. To foster economic and security integration among the US partners in the region, such as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the GCC+3, and to enhance their cooperation on global challenges such as climate change, food security, and health1. To uphold human rights and democratic values in the region, and to support the aspirations of the people for political and social reforms23. These are some of the general reasons for US involvement in the Middle East, but they may vary depending on the specific context and situation. The US also faces many challenges and trade-offs in pursuing its interests and goals in the region, and its policies and strategies may change over time.

There is no source of electricity that is not dependent on fossil fuels. Steel, cement, synthetic materials, cables, packaging of parts during transport and so on - they all rely on fossil fuels. Also solar and wind energy means just more dependence on China which holds monopoly on rare materials. Your continent should invest in nuclear energy as much as possible.

@@Michal_Sobczyk Just as it takes money to make money, it takes fossil fuels to make clean energy. Focus on the delta gained at the end, not the cost of doing business. We tried nuclear energy and still have it, but new plants are a non starter. No one wants it and the radioactive waste in their backyard.

you should educate yourself maybe open 5th grade science books

Yes, you should have done that in the 60's, instead of burying the EV's. But all that you have said, moving energy to one unified supply form (cable electrical lines), also requires upgrading the infrastructure, which is going to be enormously expensive. There are no easy solutions and the US president (present one) has massively accelerated the need for transition, when the US was already running out of time.

@@Michal_Sobczyk I agree to an extent. Just as it takes money to make money, it takes energy to make clean energy hardware. That's why it's critical to compare the DELTA gained over the lifecycle. I'm certain clean energy comes out way ahead in its lifecycle. Atomic energy is a non starter in the US. No one wants it in their backyard.

Americans ain't blocking our shipping lanes😅

@@lwiimbokasweshi says the somali pirate, lol

America is not expanding their country by stealing others or launching terrorist attacks like all these Muslim countries.

@@lwiimbokasweshi Maybe they don't block your shipping routes but they steal the middle east natural resources in Iraq ,syria and...

@@lwiimbokasweshi nobody is blocking your shipping lane unless you're israeli. The US schemes to tie the interests of the world to Israel so it can justify the militarization of the red sea.

Well looks right on schedule

@@smpl1592 Yes it does

For their blood thurst of killing innocent people mostly childern

Israel is not committing genocide. Do you know the meaning of the word? Iran is responsible for over a thousands American deaths in Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Then why are you watching?

@@noco7243 To see what the US is saying from their side/POV

would you even know if an attack was thwarted? You are naive to think otherwise.

​@@7135HOLLY The burden of proof is on the one making the claim. There's no evidence of Shia/Iranian terrorist attacks on the USA. Sure, you can claim that one was secretly thwarted but that still means the public has no evidence it ever happened. Furthermore, if the government says it thwarted one they could just be making that up. Occam's Razor states the simplest explanation is usually the correct one, so there has never been an Iranian/Shia terrorist attack on the USA.

Because America was invited to those countries

Israel was the country resisting the illegal world Arab countries launched onto it within hours of it's formation. USA is an intl ally of Israelo as are all of those UN nations.

Almost all American bases in the world are asked for by the host countries, the only countries that dont want them are Syria and Iraq. America establishes bases surrounding its enemies and the host country gets the benefit of US military protection if attacked, we can see in the South China sea and China, Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Iran, North Korea and South Korea.

No one invited this is the illusion you get from propaganda media. Who invited them to Iraq syria or even Egypt ? If a leader of the country denies them bases, they just replace them with dictator

@@jamesthemaniac3293No it wasn't! Iraq and Syria have multiple times demanded the US leave. It is OCCUPYING those countries, and that means the occupied people have every right to use every means to evict the invader/occupier.

US imports 0% of oil from Syria. Hower unlike those that live under Assad, the Kurdish US allies have a higher standard of living.

The only thing the Syrian have is blood and wars. They have absolutely nothing of value that might interest the west. But to your question - North-west Syria is controlled by the Kurds, who are allies of the west, and therefore there are US bases there to protect them and to maintain a foothold in the middle east if ever needed.

@@4lyfMotorhead The us is an imperial colonial evil power

@@4lyfMotorhead US is there to prevent Syria from developing.. Also creating ISIS..

@@WhoAreYouForYou That’s sound like neo colo miasm

Resistance of the western imperialism and colonialism

@@hannibalbarca8411what has colonism even to do with it ! The new colonisers in this case is Iran then. Who basically taken over Yemen, Lebanon and parts of Iraq, Afghanistan of course Palestine. With endless supply of weapons, training and putting these guys on payroll.

@@SuperPerfectMan What the US did in iraq and Afghanistan ?

​@@SuperPerfectMan well it's an alliance, these groups are ideologically aligned with them so they fund them and give them intelligence and advice. It's not any different what the US says it's doing with Kurdish groups

​@@SuperPerfectMan The colonisation is that America is interfering in a region so far away and stealing natural resources. The middle east would be much more stable had America and the colonial powers before it not interfere

Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan. I think you should notice a pattern by now. The US is interested in the stabilizing these areas, not fixing them.

the US intervention of hamas attacking civilians in israel? The US intervention of hezbollah attacking civilians inside lebanon and Israel? The US intervention of houthis attacking yemen, civilians in Israel and trade vessels? Bad bad US!!!

How is the US to blame for Iranians being bad guys? The US would rather Iran be a friendly happy nation. The US also did not betray the Shah.

@@0IIIIII “Unfortunately, a government like America, which is devoid of culture, only thinks about two things: the market and endless benefits, both of which are through plundering. See what they did with the Shah of Iran for the oil market? They sided with the Islamic uproar to achieve their goals and benefits, and in this process, they slaughtered the people of Iran.”

they already slaughtered millions in iraq, libya, syria, distabilized the entire middle east, the usa is responsible for isis, al quada, taliban@@Energy_SYS

​@0IIIIII how are iranian being bad guys? Are we pumping money to a genocidal imperialist regime?

@@0IIIIII friendly and servile. The happiness comes as a condition of the first two, often not even then. See Haiti as an example.

We Israelis want to become friends with Iran again like the good old times before radical Islam taken over Iran

What? Yeah they still hate you, what are you surprised? Just look at the Palestinians.

Yeah…what on earth did you do in Iraq and Palestine that might make them think that way? 🤔

crazy indeed... you have only destroyed and stolen a country, killed 1,000,000 people on a war with fake basis... wonder why anyone may, being "us" so wonderful guys... amazing indeed, ain't it?

They weren't displaced by Hezbollah, they were evacuated by Israel because they intend to attack Lebanon next. Millions of Palestinians were displaced by Israel in Gaza, in their disproportional and genocidal response to October 7th.

You are on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, what are you talking about?

No they supported shah. The carter allegation has not much evidence

Couldn't have said it better

Go read the partition plan of 1947 and see the wars the arab states stated to destroy Israel. Israel has every right to protect itself throughout history from the blood thirsty neigboring countries and Hamas and Hezbollah Terrorists!!!

​@@OG.551.98 Israel is a biblical theocracy,not even a real state by clear borders in UN to have any right, resistance against occupiers is a holy task for any nation on earth including Palestine and Lebanese.

What kind of question is that? America is in syria & iraq directly. america sponsors terror groups like the israeli government, ISIS and the saudi government.

How is Israel supposed to unoccupy "Palestine"?

If you need someone to answer that question, you know NOTHING about geopolitics and geostrategy. Go read a book for a change.

cmon man, dont ask those kinda questions.

I understand about Iraq and bus that was a bad decision, but Obama intervened in Syria to stop the spread of Islamic state in Syria. And that kinda worked.

It was a civil war which the US and other allies tried to intervene. It wasn't a US-backed war. Language matters. You're trying to distort the actual history

Can you also explain what you mean?
