Iranian President Hassan Rowhani boasted of his country's interference in the affairs of countries in the region, claiming that "the country that helped the peoples of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen to confront terrorist groups is Iran."

Iranian parliamentarian Ali Reza Zacani also praised the support of the Houthi rebels in Yemen and what he called "the accession of the fourth Arab capital, Sana'a, to the space of the Islamic revolution, after Baghdad, Beirut and Damascus."

According to some experts , Iran can't occupy large areas in Arab world because of its modest military potential, but it seeks to achieve its goals through the militias that fight in behalf of it .

So , Iran depends on three organizations that implement its subversive agendas in the region . The first is Quds Force , an elite force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards that is responsible for planning guerrilla and non-conventional military movements, including the use of cultural, economic and civilian facades to cover its foreign activities. It is headed by Qassem Soleimani.

The second arm is the Intelligence Agency . It plays a vital role in gathering information . It is responsible for drawing and executing programs of secret operations at home and abroad, and works with militias and armed groups .

The third one , according to American expert, is Lebanese Hezbollah , the strongest ally of Iran since 1980s ,especially that his role is no longer confined to the face of Israel, but to the front lines of the Syrian and Yemeni conflict, as well as pro-Tehran Iraqi militias operating in Iraq and Syria.
