Iran's Global Terrorist Ambitions Must Be Crushed, before It's Too Late
(Telegraph-UK) Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz - Hamas functions entirely as an Iranian proxy. Hamas's leadership has always been dedicated to actualizing the ayatollahs' goal of wiping Israel off the map. From Lebanon to Yemen, Syria to Iraq, Iran ruthlessly undermines states and territories, weaponizing extremist groups to serve its revolutionary zealotry. Iran's destabilization efforts are increasingly evident in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). Tehran is undermining the Palestinian Authority, supporting extremist groups with truckloads of weapons and money. If not for Israel's vigilance, Judea and Samaria would quickly devolve into another Iranian stronghold. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is the primary driver of Iran's strategy to encircle Israel with a "ring of fire." The international community must declare the IRGC as a terrorist organization and impose further crippling sanctions on Iran. These actions are essential to halting Iran's destabilizing activities. Palestinian self-governance in internal affairs, coupled with Israeli security oversight, offers the best near-term option to counter Iranian influence while allowing Palestinians the maximum opportunity to govern their own affairs. History proves that whenever Israel steps back from overseeing security, the first to fill the vacuum is an Iranian-controlled terror proxy.
