Terror Without Borders, Part I: Hezbollah, Inc. and Beyond (featuring Matt Levitt)

Terror Without Borders, Part I: Hezbollah, Inc. and Beyond (featuring Matt Levitt)

About the Episode

Hezbollah is not a rogue actor. It’s a tool of the Islamic Republic.

That’s because Iran doesn’t just fund terror — it runs a global terror empire. And Hezbollah is the crown jewel.

In this episode of The Iran Breakdown, host Mark Dubowitz sits down with Dr. Matthew Levitt, a top authority on Hezbollah and Iran’s proxy warfare, to break down how Hezbollah operates as Iran’s most powerful proxy; its deep involvement in terror plots, weapons trafficking, and criminal finance; the group’s expanding footprint around the world; what the US, Israel, and allies must do to dismantle this network; and why Hezbollah’s role is central to Tehran’s long-term strategy — and its survival.
