In 2004, King Abdullah II of Jordan warned about the dangers of the Iranian Shi’ite Crescent and Iran’s hegemonic ambitions.

In the 21st Century, Iran has made significant progress toward fulfilling its goal of being the dominant regional superpower. The backbone of the Iranian Shi’ite Crescent is a network of armed agents and proxies. For the last decade, Iran has been building an Iranian-controlled Land Corridor ‎from Iran through Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon to the Mediterranean Sea.

This land bridge is the most significant military threat Israel is facing. Therefore, Israel has vowed it will do whatever it takes to prevent Iran from securing the corridor.
