→October 2023-2024: Iran VS US/Israel - "Big/little Satan")
Ghoreyshi starts by saying that “anti-revolutionaries” have bought “5,330 tickets” to the tournament and adds that “our boys have checked the list of the ticket holders and at least 500 people” are known opponents of the Iranian regime.

This is the first piece of evidence of collaboration with Qatar, showing that Iran obtained the list of ticket buyers most probably from Qatari authorities.</blockquote></ref>

=Iran proxy wars against "Great Satan" (sic)=
From the start of the 1979 revolution, enthusiastic crowds have responded to the Ayatollah Khomeini's characterization of America as the "Great Satan" and Israel as the "Little Satan" by chanting "Death to America; Death to Israel."<ref>Rubenstein, R. L. (2010). Jihad and Genocide. United Kingdom: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, [https://books.google.com/books?id=UyNR4AAevwIC&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&printsec=frontcover&pg=PA120 p.120]</ref>

<blockquote>When Iran became an Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini in the late 1970s, Israel was called the "little Satan," the United States the "big Satan." At the time, the United States was not hated because of Israel. If anything, the reverse was true. Israel was seen as an outpost of "Ameri-can imperialism." Of course , radical Islamist groups such as Iran - backed Hizbollah did not need to attack the United States because of Israel. Hizbollah killed 241 Marines in the Beirut barracks bombing of 1983 and was responsible for the hijacking of TWA flight 847 in 1985.
Al-Qaeda also opposed the United States initially because of the large U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia. It only later came to oppose Israel, sometimes claiming the issue was the "Palestinians", other times claiming opposition to any non-Muslim presence in the Mide East...</blockquote>
Iran, in its aim of globalizing the Islamic revolution, had founded Hezbollah in 1981. Before Israel responded to PLO attacks from there.
<small>The decision to establish Hezbollah was made in Tehran three years before Israel invaded Lebanon. During the first months of Khomeini’s rule in Iran, his Council of the Islamic Revolution made the decision to export the revolution to the Arab world and found Islamic movements based on Iranian Islamic ideology. To implement the program he appointed Ayatollah Ali Akhbar Montazeri, whom at the time he regarded as his eventual successor. Montazeri established an extensive organizational network to construct and support “Islamic liberation movements” in the Arab world: Hezbollah Hijaz in Saudi Arabia, Hezbollah in Bahrain, Hezbollah in Kuwait and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
In August 1981 Ali Akhbar Mohtashami, one of Khomeini’s close allies, was dispatched to Syria as the Iranian ambassador to Damascus. One of his missions was to found a new Shi’ite movement in Lebanon as an alternative to Amal.
The decision to establish Hezbollah was made in Tehran three years prior to the Israeli invasion. Khomeini appointed Ayatollah Ali Akhbar Montazeri to establish Hezbollah, dispatching him to Damascus, Syria, where the group was founded in 1981.
Since its inception, Hezbollah has engaged in terrorist activities, targeting its own and Iran’s enemies, both in Lebanon and abroad. Its activities have earned the organization and many of its members terror designations by the United States Departments of State and Treasury, as well as by other countries.</small><ref>[https://hezbollah.org/about-hezbollah About Hezbollah].

Lebanon-based Hezbollah is a transnational Shiite Islamist group founded by Iran in 1981, following the ideology of absolute Wilayat al-Faqih, as expounded by Tehran’s late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini. Since its inception, Hezbollah has engaged in terrorist activities, targeting its own and Iran’s enemies, both in Lebanon and abroad. Its activities have earned the organization and many of its members terror designations by the United States Departments of State and Treasury, as well as by other countries.
Contrary to the narrative purported by the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah, the group was founded prior to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. The decision to establish Hezbollah was made in Tehran three years prior to the Israeli invasion. Khomeini appointed Ayatollah Ali Akhbar Montazeri to establish Hezbollah, dispatching him to Damascus, Syria, where the group was founded in 1981.
The group runs a vast social services network – including hospitals, schools, vocational institutions, and charities -- in predominantly Shiite areas of Lebanon, which has earned it the gratitude and support of a community traditionally neglected by the Lebanese state. Through its “Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc,” Hezbollah also holds parliamentary and ministerial representation in Lebanon’s government.</small></blockquote></ref><ref>[https://www.terrorism-info.org.il/en/the-birth-of-hezbollah/ The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center].
The Birth of Hezbollah.

<blockquote><small>
The majority of studies conducted over the past four decades on Hezbollah, the radical Lebanese Shi’ite movement, and particularly on the factors leading to its inception, have concluded it was motivated by the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982.
To a great extent, that thesis, which became accepted as fact, was based on a comment made by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who said, “When we entered Lebanon Hezbollah didn’t exist, we were welcomed with flowers and rice. It was our presence there that created Hezbollah.”
It became an important aspect of research into Hezbollah’s history, and one of its foremost proponents was Prof. Augustus Richard Norton. Norton taught international relations and anthropology at Boston University and served as an American military observer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the UN force in south Lebanon in the early 1980s, and made his academic career around research into Shi’a in Lebanon.
The facts paint a different reality.
The historical truth is different. The decision to establish Hezbollah was made in Tehran three years before Israel invaded Lebanon. During the first months of Khomeini’s rule in Iran, his Council of the Islamic Revolution made the decision to export the revolution to the Arab world and found Islamic movements based on Iranian Islamic ideology. To implement the program he appointed Ayatollah Ali Akhbar Montazeri, whom at the time he regarded as his eventual successor. Montazeri established an extensive organizational network to construct and support “Islamic liberation movements” in the Arab world: Hezbollah Hijaz in Saudi Arabia, Hezbollah in Bahrain, Hezbollah in Kuwait and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
In August 1981 Ali Akhbar Mohtashami, one of Khomeini’s close allies, was dispatched to Syria as the Iranian ambassador to Damascus. One of his missions was to found a new Shi’ite movement in Lebanon as an alternative to Amal. The Amal movement had been founded in 1974 by two Iranians, Musa al-Sadr and Dr. Mostafa Chamran, who was later appointed as the Iranian Republic’s first minister of defense. Iran needed a new movement because Amal inadvertently found itself in the middle of an internal Iranian power struggle and lost its supporters in Tehran to the radical clerics. They regarded Amal as a secular movement, refusing to recognize the concept of velayat-e faqih (the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist) and loyal to the government in Lebanon, which Amal viewed as its true homeland.
Arriving in Damascus in 1981, barely a year before Israel invaded Lebanon, Mohtashami began forming the new Shi’ite movement, Hezbollah. Working from the Iranian embassy he established and operated Hezbollah, set up its Shura Council, which was called the Council of Lebanon and whose members were essentially the Hezbollah leadership, and chaired it until his ambassadorship ended in 1986.</small></blockquote></ref>
In recent years it developed proxies in Iraq and in Syria (Alawite-Shiite alliance) and in the Yemen - the [[Houthis]] (acting first, in war with Saudis (Sunnis)) and among "Palestinian" Arabs - called [[PIJ]] (Palestinian Islamic Jihad), [[Hamas]] is also backed by the Islamic Republic.
