Common my friend, IRGC is running the war over there and training Assad's fighters. Did you forget what Hezbollah in Lebanon is? It is just a franchise for the IRGC, along with all the remaining franchises in the region, Houthis, Mahdy Army...etc. They won't last for 2 weeks without the cash, and equipment supplied to them from Tehran.
Hezbollah fighters and rank & file are Lebanese....and given how they performed in 2006 against israel's much vaunted military machine i'd say they did a damn good job
And you are absolutely right. As a source for legitimacy, Iran will of course be in a better position if KSA sides with Israeli. That will shorten any legitimacy disputes that Iran may have to go through. As a matter of fact, the whole "Marg bar Israel " slogan was not made for the sake of helping the Palestinians. It was needed for legitimacy purposes only.
there is truth to that and Iran has used populist politics to garner support not just domestically..
my own belief is that history books wont judge Iran as the aggressor in the region...hegemonic yes, but not in an overtly aggressive fashion
their proxies arent going around beheading people and destroying holy places such as Churches Shrines or Mosques
