US Edition‘Nothing Has Changed’: Iran Tries to Rearm Proxy Groups as US Talks Stall
MIDDLE EAST, JUL 19 – Iran is accelerating arms shipments to proxy groups to regain influence after Israeli and U.S. strikes, with a record 750 tons of weapons seized in the Red Sea, U.S. Central Command said.
- Earlier this year, Iran began rearming its regional proxies after Israeli and U.S. strikes targeted key figures and sites, underscoring its push to rebuild influence.
- With an eye on nuclear talks, Iran has seized weapons shipments, while Syria’s Interior Ministry said it intercepted Iranian arms destined for Lebanon.
- In recent weeks, the Syrian Interior Ministry announced it seized Kornet anti-tank missiles hidden in vegetable trucks, and on Wednesday, the U.S. Central Command intercepted a massive arms shipment bound for Houthi rebels, while rebels attacked ships killing four crew members.
- Suspected Iranian-backed militias have ramped up attacks on Western oil facilities in Kurdish Iraq, destabilizing regional production, and a Kurdistan interior ministry said a bomb-laden drone near Erbil was intended to create chaos.
- A regional source warned Hezbollah could begin regrouping over the coming weeks, and Michael Knights said rearmament may bolster Iran's negotiating leverage without provoking U.S. strikes.
