According to an Israeli think tank, the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, Iran’s role in combating the Islamic State in the region contributed to the country’s weakened threat assessment.

The Islamic Republic is listed as a threat under the report’s Cyber, Regional, and Weapons of Mass Destruction and Proliferation Sections. The Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah, also funded and supported by Iran, is mentioned only once in the report, and only in reference to the group’s efforts in fighting off Islamic State advances in Lebanon.
