Axis of Resistance

The Axis of Resistance or Resistance Front is an informal Iran-led military coalition that operates across West Asia. It currently unites a variety of armed groups allied with Iran and committed primarily to countering the influence of Iran's rivals in the region: the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and sometimes Turkey. It is supported by North Korea and was formerly supported by Venezuela until the capture of Nicholas Maduro and Syria, which hosted both Iranian troops and allied non-Iranian fighters until the fall of the Assad regime in 2024.
