Ahmadinejad Period Islamic Republic of Iran: Relations with Hezbollah

The Hezbollah organization, which emerged in Lebanon, has been an important political and military actor in Lebanon and the Middle East since its inception. The Hezbollah organization, which was considered "terrorist" by some countries as both political and military, was influenced by a number of internal and external dynamics in the organization and growth phase. For a better understanding of the structure and impact power of the organization, these dynamics must be examined individually. In terms of external dynamics, Hezbollah has been in intense relations with Iran in both the founding phase and the following period. In this context, primarily the internal and external dynamics will be examined, and the Iranian relations, which are the ideological and political common denominators of the Organization, will be examined especially during the Ahmadinejad period (2005-2013).
