Israel's Foreign Affairs official, Alex Gandler, claims Iran is using its oil wealth to support terror groups and destabilize regions, asserting that Tehran's influence fuels violence in West Asia. Gandler outlines Iran's failed proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen, culminating in broader regional conflicts involving Israel.

Israel has accused Iran of leveraging its oil and gas revenue to foster global instability and perpetuate terrorism, according to Alex Gandler, Deputy Spokesperson of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Gandler outlined Iran's involvement in various terror attacks across West Asia while speaking with ANI.
He criticized Tehran for prioritizing proxy support over domestic development, branding Iran a 'failed state' with a struggling economy and diminished military capabilities. This, Gandler claimed, has led to Iran building rocket systems and proxies in a bid to harm Israel through region-wide conflicts.
Gandler further asserted Iran's broad destabilizing actions, which include orchestrating attacks outside the Middle East. The latest conflict in Gaza, initiated by Hamas on October 7, exemplifies the ongoing regional turmoil, now exacerbated by Houthi rebel interventions from Yemen, according to Gandler and supported by health ministry casualty reports.
