The Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades infecting countries throughout the Middle East by building up violent Islamist terrorist proxies and arming them to terrorize people in the region. They've successfully done it in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Gaza, and Yemen. While they have focused on oppressing their own citizens, their proxies have pursued similar goals throughout the region. Most of the other countries in the region recognize it and view it as the biggest threat to regional stability. However, their two most successful terror proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, have now been decimated by Israel. The command structures of both groups have been destroyed along with many of their capabilities. That is a major setback for the Islamic Republic's efforts to infest the region with its extreme ideology. I suspect many of the Arab states know that and are privately thankful for it.
