The Iranian-led Axis of Resistance is employing a decentralized operational model in Europe and the United States to project power while maintaining plausible deniability. This strategy relies on a dual recruitment mechanism:
Lone actors radicalized through digital propaganda. This was demonstrated by the Michigan synagogue attack carried out by Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who had family links to active Lebanese Hezbollah members.
Contracted operatives recruited through social media platforms, local actors, and emerging front groups like Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya.
By utilizing these two recruitment channels, Iranian handlers can execute rapid attacks across the West.
