Iran has instructed its proxy forces across the Middle East to exercise caution due to fears of an existential threat following Donald Trump's return to the White House, according to The Telegraph. A senior Iranian official in Tehran stated that forces and allies in the region have been directed to act cautiously, feeling threatened by Trump's return. In Iraq and Yemen, these forces have been specifically told not to target American assets and to avoid using Iranian weapons.
