Iran's leaders are reportedly growing increasingly nervous about the actions of their proxy forces in the Middle East. Recent attacks carried out by these groups, including the killing of US troops and a near-miss on a Navy destroyer, have caught Iran off guard and raised concerns among their leadership, according to US intelligence sources.
One significant event that has caused alarm in Tehran is the drone attack in Jordan that killed three US service members. This incident is said to have served as a wake-up call for Iran, highlighting the lack of control they have over their various proxy groups operating in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. While Iran supports these groups by supplying them with weapons and funding, the level of loyalty and alignment with Iran varies greatly among them.
