In a recent address, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei asserted that the Islamic Republic does not have any proxy forces in the region, countering claims that Iran has lost such agents. During a meeting with religious figures, Khamenei emphasized that groups like Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas fight based on their own beliefs and not as proxies for Iran. He stated, 'If we ever want to take any action, we will not need any proxy forces.' Khamenei's comments come amid ongoing discussions about Iran's influence in the Middle East and its relationships with various militant groups.
