Iran has financed, armed, trained, and, in some cases, directed terrorist and militant groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis around the Middle East to incorporate them into its ultimate goal of destroying the State of Israel. That close relationship is why Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who shared the goal of Israel’s destruction, was in Tehran when he was assassinated in the early hours of July 31, 2024.
This video, a compilation of insights from experts who participated in the CIE webinar series in response to the Hamas-Israel war that began October 7, 2023, is the first of a set of resources drawn from those webinars and focusing on specific issues and topics that emerged.
