Iran sponsoring terrorism
Jun 16th, 2026 at 8:22am
 
The Iran war is not over. I think it is pretty much inevitable that it will flare up again. It's just a matter of time.

Iran is widely recognized by Western nations and international bodies as the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian government utilizes its elite military branch, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and specifically its Quds Force (IRGC-QF), to fund, train, arm, and provide sanctuary to an extensive network of regional proxy militias. This network—often referred to by Tehran as the "Axis of Resistance"—is used to project power, attack Western and Israeli targets, and destabilize rivals across the Middle East and beyond.

Major Proxy Groups Sponsored by Iran:

Hezbollah (Lebanon): Iran’s most prominent and heavily armed proxy. Tehran funnels nearly a billion dollars a year to Hezbollah, providing advanced rocketry, cyber capabilities, and military training.

Hamas & Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Gaza/West Bank): Iran provides tens of millions of dollars, engineering expertise, and weapons technology to these factions.

The Houthis (Yemen): Iran provides the Houthis with anti-ship ballistic missiles, drones, and intelligence, enabling them to disrupt global maritime trade.

Shia Militias in Iraq and Syria: Groups like Asaib Ahl al-Haq and Kata'ib Hezbollah receive direct IRGC oversight to carry out drone and rocket strikes against U.S. and coalition forces.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

From the inception of Hezbollah to the present,[183][184] the elimination of the State of Israel has been one of Hezbollah's primary goals. Some translations of Hezbollah's 1985 Arabic-language manifesto state that "our struggle will end only when this entity [Israel] is obliterated".[183] According to Hezbollah's Deputy-General, Naim Qassem, the struggle against Israel is a core belief of Hezbollah and the central rationale of Hezbollah's existence.

Despite calls for disarmament under United Nations Security Council resolutions, Hezbollah has expanded its military capabilities. As of 2013 its armed wing is considered stronger than the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF),[88] making it one of the most powerful non-state actors in the world.

Since October 2023, Hezbollah has been at war with Israel.

On 2 March 2026, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam stated that the organisation's military actions rage outside of Lebanese law.

Hezbollah officials have said, on rare occasions, that it is only "anti-Zionist" and not anti-Semitic.[10] However, according to scholars, "these words do not hold up upon closer examination". Among other actions, Hezbollah actively engages in Holocaust denial and spreads anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.[10] Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah, a prominent Lebanese Shia cleric and an influential ideological figure associated with Hezbollah, made a number of statements expressing hostility toward Jews as a group.[192]

Various antisemitic statements have been attributed to Hezbollah officials.[193] Amal Saad-Ghorayeb, a Lebanese political analyst, argues that although Zionism has influenced Hezbollah's anti-Judaism, "it is not contingent upon it because Hezbollah's hatred of Jews is more religiously motivated than politically motivated".[194] Robert S. Wistrich, a historian specialising in the study of anti-Semitism, described Hezbollah's ideology concerning Jews:

The anti-Semitism of Hezbollah leaders and spokesmen combines the image of seemingly invincible Jewish power ... and cunning with the contempt normally reserved for weak and cowardly enemies. Like the Hamas propaganda for holy war, that of Hezbollah has relied on the endless vilification of Jews as 'enemies of mankind,' 'conspiratorial, obstinate, and conceited' adversaries full of 'satanic plans' to enslave the Arabs. It fuses traditional Islamic anti-Judaism with Western conspiracy myths, Third Worldist anti-Zionism, and Iranian Shiite contempt for Jews as 'ritually impure' and corrupt infidels. Sheikh Fadlallah typically insists ... that Jews wish to undermine or obliterate Islam and Arab cultural identity in order to advance their economic and political domination.

The United States is the country that maintains the State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list, administered by the U.S. Department of State.



Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured by U.S. forces in a large-scale military strike on January 3, 2026, an operation President Donald Trump announced on social media.  Maduro has repeatedly declared in court that he was "kidnapped" and considers himself a "prisoner of war," while maintaining his claim as the legitimate president of Venezuela.

The U.S. military has killed at least 203 people in 64 strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in international waters since September 2025, under orders from President Donald Trump.  These operations, primarily in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, target vessels the administration labels as "narco-terrorists," though no public evidence has been provided to verify the presence of drugs or the identities of those killed.

Alleged illegal actions by the U.S. government primarily centre on immigration enforcement policies and executive orders issued during the Trump administration, which legal scholars and advocacy groups argue exceed constitutional and statutory authority.  Critics contend that specific measures, such as denying birthright citizenship and invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 for mass deportations without a declared war, violate the 14th Amendment and existing laws.  Additionally, declaring a national emergency at the southern border to divert military funds is viewed by some as an illegal abuse of power since the situation does not constitute a sudden crisis under the National Emergencies Act.


For a mob that perpetually ignores international laws and norms, do as we say, not as we do, means calling other's terrorists is just American, and it's puppet's, propaganda.


There are no terrorists, when everyone's practicing terrorism in one form or another.

The "Greater Israel" plan refers to a maximalist vision, rooted in biblical interpretation and revisionist Zionism, advocating for Israeli sovereignty over territory stretching from the Nile River to the Euphrates River.  While often dismissed by critics as a conspiracy theory, the concept has gained renewed political traction since 2022, with key figures in the Israeli government explicitly calling for the annexation of the West Bank, Gaza, and parts of neighbouring Arab states.

A warmongering Israel can not expect push back.



Jews believe they are superior to Christians


Generally Speaking Rabbi Iehuda presents clearly in his book the doctrine of the inherent superiority of the Jew over the non Jew (and Israel over others Nations). He says that the born Jew receives the called “overflow” of the Divine influence by simply being born Jew, and that comes by a choice of God before the person actually born or perhaps moments before that, considering that the person was actually created during that stage of his life. And this allow him to achieve elevated spiritual realms, like prophecy if he so desire (if he acts accordingly doing justice and like). But even if he does not behave accordingly, not receiving it though, the “seed” still in him so any future descendant of him may become great being his descendant, citing the case of Terah father of Avraham.

Yes, that is a good example of the elaborate Jew conspiracies that Iran pays Hezbollah etc to spread. But who needs to pay terrorists to spread your conspiracy theories when there are countless morons online who will spread it for free?

Each country maintains their own. Also the EU. Both the EU and Australia have declared the IRGC a terrorist organisation or a state sponsor of terrorism.

Multiple Israeli politicians have publicly advocated for or expressed attachment to the concept of "Greater Israel," though definitions vary from annexing the West Bank to maximalist biblical borders stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates.  In August 2025, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated he is on a "historic and spiritual mission" and feels "very" connected to a vision of Greater Israel that includes Palestinian areas and potentially parts of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon.


Israeli politicians, including their current PM, work for Hezbollah, spreading the Greater Israel conspiracy theory.

You should go to the media with your facts. That's massive !

...


EU and Australia are puppets of the US. Not doing as we are told will probably result in being kicked out of Team America benefits such as SWIFT.

How about China and Russia, do they have their own State Sponsors of Terrorism lists ?

Rhetorical. Researched myself.

Beyond the United States, few nations maintain a formal, standalone statutory list of "State Sponsors of Terrorism"

Can you quote what they actually said? There are a lot of ways you can interpret feeling "very".

Do you agree with Australia, the EU, the US etc listing the IRGC as a terrorist organisation or state sponsor of terrorism? Or do you see that as part of the conspiracy?

It was you who claimed theses Israeli politician are puppets of Iran/Hezbollah, and without supplying evidence.




The concept of "Greater Israel" (Eretz Yisrael Hashleima) refers to an expansionist geopolitical and biblical vision of Israel's borders, historically and presently supported by several prominent right-wing and far-right Israeli politicians.Key political figures and parties endorsing this vision include:

Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud): The Prime Minister has publicly embraced the vision of a "Greater Israel," identifying it as part of his historic and spiritual mission. He views territorial consolidation—including ongoing settlement and military control over the West Bank and other lands—as central to his platform.

Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionism): The Finance Minister is one of the most vocal advocates for the annexation of the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). He has openly called for extending Israeli sovereignty and settlements, and has occasionally agitated for the expansion of borders to Damascus.

Itamar Ben-Gvir (Jewish Power / Otzma Yehudit): The Minister of National Security is a leading far-right figure who actively pushes for the expansion of Israeli territory and control, and exerts pressure on the government to advance these expansionist and settlement goals


Itamar Ben-Gvir is a leading proponent of "Greater Israel," advocating for the annexation of the West Bank and the establishment of Jewish supremacy over the entire territory.  As Israel's National Security Minister, he has successfully pushed for West Bank annexation to become stated government policy within the current coalition agreements with Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party.

What do you think I meant by that? I certainly did not actually say that Israeli MP's are Iranian puppets. That seems to be about the extent of any support you offer for your claims - your own confusion about things that people say.
