Ideology of Hezbollah

The ideology of Hezbollah has been summarized as Shiite radicalism.[1][2][3] Hezbollah was largely formed with the aid of pro-Iran Khomeinists during the early 1980s in order to spread the ideology of the Iranian revolution[4] and follows a distinct version of Twelver Shia political theory of "Velayat-e-faqih" developed by the Iranian cleric Khomeini.[5][6]
