Axis of Resistance

The term Axis of Resistance (Persian: محور مقاومت‎, romanized: mehvar–e moqâvemat, Arabic: محور المقاومة‎, romanized: miḥwar al-muqāwamah) refers to a political alliance between Iran, the Syrian Assad government and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. Pro-Syrian government militias, Iraqi Shia militias that are part of the Iraqi Government-sanctioned Popular Mobilization Forces and the Yemeni Houthi movement (officially: "Ansar Allah") are also considered part of the alliance. Despite the alliance's differing ideologies, for example secular Ba'athism and Shia Islamism, they work together to oppose NATO, Israeli and Saudi Arabian activities in the region.
