How Iran forged Hezbollah from a real grievance — WHO IS HEZBOLLAH Part 1 of 5

History Onion · 2:59

In 2026 it is the most powerful armed group on earth that answers to no state — and it is fighting for survival. But Hezbollah was not born. It was built, deliberately, by Iran, out of the real grievance of Lebanon's forgotten Shia. Part 1: the wound, the vanished cleric, the doctrine, and the 1982 invasion that turned a grievance into a weapon — one that, within eighteen months, would kill 241 Americans and deny it ever existed. Part 1 of 5. Follow for Part 2 — The Shadow War. Some scenes are cinematic reconstructions of documented events. All quotes, dates, and sources are historically verified. #Hezbollah #Lebanon #Iran #MiddleEast #history
