Iran’s proxy war has crossed oceans and is now knocking on America’s door

Iran has been conducting an asymmetric war against the U.S. and West since 1979 through proxies, terrorism, and illicit networks. Recent DOJ charges against Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a senior commander in Iran-backed Kata'ib Hizballah, reveal coordinated attacks on U.S. and Jewish targets using Latin American cartel networks and front groups. Iran's long-term strategy includes embedding infrastructure in Latin America via mosques, charities, and criminal facilitators.
