Iran-backed groups connect to form a land bridge across the Middle East and form an alliance that Tehran calls the ‘Axis of Resistance.’ This land bridge can be used to transport equipment and personnel, but also allows for positions in Iraq and Syria to attack U.S. interests or threaten Israel closer to its borders.

WSJ explains what to know about the alliance that includes Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen.

Wait. How could you miss out on mentioning anything about Qatar. It has the largest American military base in the Middle East in Al-Udeid Air Base just west of Doha. It is the country sitting on the nexus between the West and Tehran, has an overseas office for Hamas and Taliban. It’s the key interlocutor for hostage release.

I never heard the term US backed Isreal. Just to show you where the priorities lie.

Somehow you forgot to mention Turkey's role in this 'Axis'. Why? 🤷‍♂They are *not*, by any means, a neutral player in all this.

It's not "The Gulf", it's "Persian Gulf". When you don't even know the name of the region, or worse than that you know the name but want to change it to what you like, then it clearly shows for what purposes you created this documentary.

Triple H probably never thought his ring name would be used in a WW3 discription.

WSJ forgot to explain the difference between Sunni and Shia, which is important in understanding Iran's connections to all these groups and others, except Hamas, which is a Sunni group. That is an important consideration. Why would a Sunni group be tied to a Shia regional power? For example, while Turkey, Egypt and Jordan are Sunni countries, Iran is Shia. It is an important distinction, for the US and Israel single-handedly seem to be managing to unify Sunni and Shia, a quite remarkable feat since it has rarely happened.

Why West and US is coming to Middle East? Why can not they stay in their own country and mind their business, live and let others live???

Soliemani helped the us army to get rid of ISIS and that’s why ISIS bombed his memorial ceremony few days ago. The us then knew how powerful is Soleimani as he knew how to coordinate groups in that region and when they didn’t need him again, they killed him. Also if you are interested to know more, watch a doc called coup 53 and how it shaped Iran and the region to this day.
