Iran’s & Hezbollah’s Growing Influence In Latin America Poses Threat To The US & Israel

A terrorist attempt on Jewish targets was stopped by Brazilian police last week after receiving a tip from Israel’s Mossad intelligence service. Two members of Hezbollah were taken into custody.

The region that witnessed the horrifying bombings of the Israeli embassy and a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1992 and 1994 is where the plot was first reported. Iran’s and Hezbollah’s efforts.

The growing influence of Iran and Hezbollah in Latin America during a time of Middle East conflict, according to Dr. R. Evan Ellis, a Latin America specialist at the U.S. Army War College, not only presents a strategic threat to the United States but also to the Jewish community in Latin America.

Iran will likely try to organize its proxy networks, including Hezbollah and others throughout the hemisphere, if the Middle East crisis turns into a heated conflict between the US and Iran. Furthermore, it is not that way. Ellis stated, “It is unthinkable that multiple attacks could be carried out against targets in the Jewish and Israeli communities as well as U.S. targets.”

Following Israel’s attack on Hamas in Gaza, four Latin American countries decided to recall or withdraw their ambassadors to Israel, demonstrating Iran’s influence. They are Colombia, Honduras, Bolivia, and Chile. The Bolivian government said that diplomatic ties with Israel will be terminated.

For many years, Iran has established military and commercial ties with autocrats and dishonest governments in Latin America. The most well-known of these is with Venezuela, which provides Iran with drone manufacturing assistance, houses camps for Hezbollah fighters, and transports personnel of Iran’s Quds Force.

Additionally, the Iranian broadcaster HispanTV, which transmits in the region, continuously feeds anti-US content to Latin Americans.

The socialist government of Brazil permitted Iran to dock two warships in Rio de Janeiro earlier this year, despite protests from the United States.

According to Dr. Ariel Gelblung of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Buenos Aires, Jews in the region are on high alert since Iranian and Hezbollah agents are free to operate in Latin America.

This is something that worries us all in Argentina and throughout Latin America. He told CBN News, “They will try somewhere else if they can’t attack Israel in southern Lebanon.” “Protecting the Jewish community in this nation is obviously a concern.”

Iran now sees Latin America as a win-win situation where it can forge lucrative ties while bolstering anti-Jewish and anti-US regimes.
