Iran and his Sphere of Influence

Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Bahrain, Yemen and the Gaza Strip. All share the same sponsorship Iran. Is that the regime has achieved in recent years total hegemony over these governments, causing the alert other nations in the region because of the danger that might entail.

In Iraq, the influence of Shiite regime has come to unthinkable extremes until recently. According to The New York Times published in its Tuesday edition March 17, Tehran sent in recent months heavy weapons to fight the terrorist group Islamic State (or ISIS), a Sunni band that emerged in Syria and Iraq whose barbarity against "infidels" surprises the world alike.

The aid scheme included the Baghdad government rockets and missiles and training of 20,000 Shiite militiamen. The fear is that the use of these weapons whose accuracy is not the most sophisticated - can affect entire villages of civilians who have nothing to do with that feedback ISIS and sectarian differences, explained the New York newspaper. That rift deepened during the years of Nuri Al-Maliki at the head of the Iraqi power. Shia extraction, Al-Maliki would have served Iranian interests against Sunnis.

In Syria Tehran's influence is explicit. In the civil war that is bleeding the country since 2011 when rebel groups began to face Bashar Al-Assad, Iran offered all their help to prevent the fall of Damascus. Members of the Free Syrian Army confirmed to Infobae Iranian military presence in cities like Aleppo, one of the bloodiest combat scenarios since the conflict began. The difference between the rebel groups and the army of Al-Assad is total. While some do not have enough firepower and rely on "Prey" from fallen enemies, the Syrian armed forces have the support of Tehran and Hezbollah, the Iranian representanto in Lebanon and the world.

Both Iraq and Syria, Iran has a delegate. A "commander in the shadows." It is Qasem Soleimani, general and chief of intelligence and Quds Forces. It is designated as the man who got Al-Assad would not fall and also that the Islamic State did not continue conquering territory in Iraq. Even some saw this Iranian military in front of the militias. And also as an instigator of the terrorist attacks of Shiite Islam that suffer the troops of the United States during the occupation in Iraq.

It is with the Hezbollah terrorist group that Iran managed to control half of Lebanon and Syria. This Shiite armed group, born in the early 80s, expanded his crimes all over the planet. His network in Latin America is strongly present in Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, which also serve as a source of funding for their actions. Iran and expands his "revolution" across the globe.

"Iran not only wants hegemony in the Gulf and the Middle East, but really wants to be considered a global power," says Ely Karmon, researcher and academician of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism. Karmon further explains that in his official program recognizes Hezbollah Iran "plays a central role in the world". Imperialism regime is explained by the academic: "As I said, Iran's goal is to be hegemonic in the region and be a strong 'axis of resistance'," adding that another of the goals of Tehran's "spread the doctrine Ayatollah Khomeini and possibly the Shiite faith. "

Beheadings, lynchings of homosexuals in public squares, motion executions and the destruction of monuments, mausoleums and archaeological treasures of more than 3000 years old by ISIS represent a threat not only to the civilized world, but also for other Muslim countries are concerned about the progress of these terrorist fanatics. Sunni Saudi Arabia, also extraction and ISIS is alarmed at the spread of this extremist group, but also warns about the influence of the Iranian regime becomes more weight in the Middle East and Persian Gulf.

Saudi analysts believe that Iran's influence in the Arab world could cause a severe imbalance and change the map of the region for decades to come. "Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries are at greater challenge," said off the record an official of the Arabian kingdom after the coup in Yemen given by hutíes. Today, the country fails to establish order and tension on the streets increases. And political persecution and hunting are daily.

The Iranian plan is clear: its regional expansion allows you to not only be interlocutor "necessary" in the fight against the Islamic State, but also strength when negotiating on its nuclear project. If successful this dangerous initiative, the balance in the region could definitely lean toward Tehran. But not only that: the atomic capability would give this regime the tools to finally crush any attempt to confront the rules of the Ayatollahs. And also arouse desires nuclear Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Turki Al-Faisal, the Saudi prince, and warned in an interview with the BBC that his country will not tolerate reach an agreement with Iran and that this will cause a "nuclear race." "If Iran has the capability to enrich uranium at any level, is not only that Saudi Arabia will ask is that everyone will be open to follow that path uninhibited door," he said. He added: "Iran is an actor of change in various contexts in the Arab world, whether Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Palestine and Bahrain".

In war against Western "imperialism", several Latin American governments in Iran have found a more sympathetic "imperialism". Especially in business. The "Axis of Unity" was the name the Venezuelan Hugo Chavez and former Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad in 2007, in one of many visits to Latin Persian soil.

Much of this "business" were at odds with transparency, such as those that came to light in recent months in Argentina and Venezuela and published in its latest edition the Brazilian magazine Veja. This publication elaborates on the Iranian influence in the region whose epicenter worked in Caracas during the Chavez government and found refuge in Buenos Aires.

It was under the influence of Caribbean military that the government of Cristina Kirchner would have reached a secret deal with Iran, whereby you try to cover up the responsibility of that nation in the bloodiest terrorist attack he suffered in Argentina's history: the attack of AMIA, in 1994. It was the prosecutor Alberto Nisman who accused the Argentine government for harboring several popes of the Tehran regime. The researcher was found dead days later at his home. As a result of that investigation, wiretaps contained in the cause confirm business, finance and Iran's activities in Argentina and Venezuela.
