Q. "Axis of Resistance", recently seen in the news, is related to which country?
Answer:
Iran
Notes: Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in an air strike in Tehran. Experts believe this could lead Iran to increase attacks against Israel through its allies, known as the Axis of Resistance. This coalition of Iranian-backed groups includes Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and the Houthis. The coalition's origins trace back to the Iranian Revolution of 1979, which empowered radical Shia clerics and led Iran to support non-state actors to expand its influence and counter threats from Israel and the US.
