Hezbollah's Move to a New Continent
The article focused on Iran's actions in Africa, where its activities through ideological, security, and logistical influence networks are increasing, led by entities linked to the Revolutionary Guard and the Quds Force. Iran aims to expand its influence beyond the Middle East, especially after Hezbollah's impact waned and due to its economic need for resources from Africa, such as energy and rare minerals. Iran utilizes institutions like the Al-Mustafa International University and local networks, with a focus on West Africa and the Sahel region. It is intensifying its activities through Islamic groups like the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, seeking to form local loyal groups, taking advantage of the deteriorating state of many countries and the fragility of their institutions. Its moves are also linked to Sudan and the Red Sea, where ports like Port Sudan and the region’s naval bases are part of its strategy to bolster influence, especially with support from the Houthis in Yemen. Iran is looking to leverage the decline of Western influence and the busy agendas of major powers to increase its economic, diplomatic, and security presence across the African continent.
