Where are the Agents Going?

Today the playing field is wide open after the secrets were revealed regarding the sale of the mullahs' regime to its close allies and agents, as if it were a single package deal, whether on its own territory, in Gaza, or in Lebanon. The details, if they were not filled with shame, would have been exposed by the mullahs themselves in public, just as they have done with many issues that occurred in the shadows and were brought into the light, either through their ignorance or as a tactic for blackmail or to impose a fait accompli on those who appease them.
The mullahs' regime has been striving to strengthen its influence in the Middle East as a regional power, using its numerous proxies that have responded to it due to the flow of money and shared pragmatism. These proxies aim to achieve their dream project, outlined by Khomeini, which is the export of revolution, dominance, and expansion. Through its diabolical methods, the regime has managed to infiltrate four Arab capitals, manipulating their politics and controlling their destinies through its increasingly powerful arms, with Hezbollah being the strongest of these arms, boasting a growing arsenal and attracting significant numbers of recruits united by ideology and agreement.
Those who track the aftermath of Hamas's operation (Al-Aqsa Deluge) and its reflections on Iranian proxies find that Israel has managed to deal with its northern front (Hezbollah) in a way that differs from its war in 2006. It has been able to destroy a large part of Hezbollah's strike force with minimal losses and insists on imposing its conditions to stop the fighting, primarily the implementation of UN Resolution 1701, which calls for Hezbollah's withdrawal beyond the Litani River, the deployment of the Lebanese army to the south, and the establishment of a buffer zone. Hezbollah now appears to be in its worst state following a series of losses and the stripping of many of its powerful assets, which it had arrogantly boasted about, and after realizing it cannot fulfill the promises made to its supportive audience, whose beliefs have begun to change following numerous defeats and overwhelming Israeli dominance. It has become logical for Hezbollah to yield to the enforcement of Resolution 1701, compelled and submissive.
As for Hamas, after igniting the fire of confrontation with Israel and sacrificing much in what resembles a futile war, it seems it has no choice but to continue on the path it has chosen for itself, despite a noticeable retreat of its supporters from many of their commitments both verbally and practically. At the same time, Netanyahu's positions are increasingly solid and defiant, especially after the assassination of (Sanwar). In one of his speeches, he stated, "We have a great opportunity to stop the axis of evil and create a different future," referring to the mullahs' regime and its allies in the region, including Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. Will we witness the uprooting of these proxies with the mullahs' regime's consent, or will we see an escalation leading to unknown consequences that could change the face of the region, and perhaps the world?
It has become clear and certain to everyone that the crisis in the region has always been and continues to be in the corridors and projects of discordant slogans that have served enemies and harmed all the peoples of the region. Despite the exposure of these projects and the broader battle for awareness, they still persist and may continue for a long time unless we stand by the Iranian people and the Iranian resistance in their battle to overthrow the Iranian regime and rescue Iran and the region from its malignancy, stripping it of the card of trading in the Palestinian issue. This should lead to a democratic, non-nuclear Iran that upholds the rights of all components of the Iranian people and respects the principles of good neighborliness, as laid out in the ten-point plan adopted by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi. This is the solution, and nothing else.
