Iran's Khamenei Says Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis Act Independently, Rejects ‘Proxy Force’ Accusations

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has rejected claims that groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis act as proxy forces for Tehran. Speaking on Sunday, Khamenei emphasized that these groups operate independently based on their own interests and decisions, while acknowledging Iran’s support for their causes.
