The UK Parliament’s website has published a submission from the National Council of Resistance of Iran’s Foreign Affairs Committee, addressing the growing threats posed by the Iranian regime to regional stability. The document outlines Iran’s extensive regional engagement, tracing its roots to the 1980s and gaining momentum post-2003 with the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Iran’s influence, manifested in the “axis of resistance” and supported by non-state allies and proxies, extends across Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and Afghanistan.

The report emphasizes Iran’s strategic use of hostage-taking in foreign policy and criticizes perceived inaction by the United States and Western governments. It explores various theories behind Iran’s regional interventions, linking them to the regime’s nature rooted in Islamic Fundamentalism and the pursuit of survival.

Iran’s substantial investments in nuclear and missile initiatives are contextualized as part of its survival strategy, providing strategic leverage on the international stage and serving as deterrents against external threats. The report concludes that as long as the current regime endures, its regional interventions will persist, emphasizing that any change in Iran’s regional conduct depends on a regime change initiated by the Iranian people themselves.
