Khamenei Asserts Iran Has No Proxy Forces, Claims Yemen, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis Act on Their Own
Dec 22, 2024, 10:33 AM
In a recent address, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asserted that the Islamic Republic does not possess any proxy forces in the region, countering claims that Iran has lost its so-called proxies. Khamenei emphasized that groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis in Yemen are not acting on behalf of Iran but are driven by their own beliefs and convictions. He stated, "They keep saying that the Islamic Republic has lost its proxies in the region! This is another mistake! The Islamic Republic does not have any proxy forces." Khamenei also claimed that if Iran were to take direct military action, it would not require proxy forces. His comments were made during a meeting with religious figures, where he addressed ongoing narratives regarding Iran's military influence in the Middle East.
