This article
discusses the growing situation with Iran. It discusses how Iran wants to build
infrastructure in Syria, and how the U.S. and more so Israel and Saudi Arabia
are set against that. It talks about how Iran as a State has not been able to
build and maintain it’s own military that would be any real cause for concern
to the nations that oppose it ie: the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia. But, it has
been extremely adept at, using the instability in the region, influencing and
forming sub-State forces, like Hezbollah through which they take action. The
article discusses how Iran, through Hezbollah, can take military like action
against Israel or Saudi Arabia. It also talks about how Iran is very good at spreading
it’s influence by supporting other non-State groups. This strategy is a rather
smart one for Iran, as the past has taught us it is difficult to fight or
remove non-state actors. It will be interesting to see how the coming months
play out in the region with Syria continuing to be the potential flashpoint
that it is.
