The IRGC is still at it, supplying the Houthis and Hezbollah.  “Yemeni forces bust Iranian weapons shipment bound for Houthis, including chemical weapons – report,” JPost, 8-14-25.

Remember, these are all hardliners, but there is a spectrum across the ruling group of the Regime.  Rouhani is a “moderate” hardliner.  “Former president joins growing push for overhaul of Iran’s rule,” Iran International, 8-14-25.

Truly choice—Notice the dissidence between the FM saying Iran does not interfere in Lebanese politics and the Iranian official at the end of the article saying that Lebanon couldn’t tell Iran to not be involved in arming Hezbollah inside Lebanon.  But also note, probably the first time ever, that Syria told Iran it couldn’t fly over its territory.  This means that Iran continues to meddle in Syria to this day.  See “Syria denied Iran security chief’s flight passage en route to Lebanon – Israeli paper,” Iran International, 8-14-25.  BTW, it is this kind of great reporting that the Regime tries to assassinate Iran International reporters in the U.K. and elsewhere.

“Diplomacy or defiance: Iran’s rulers face existential choice after US-Israeli strikes,” Reuters, 8-14-25.
