Hamas and Hezbollah are buttons that Iran pushes when it wants to take asymmertical military revenge upon Israel or when Iran wants to deflect attention from itself, its nuclear program, and its sponsorship of terrorist groups.
Iran used the money it got from the Nuclear Deal to further destabilize the Middle East by launching a proxy war with Saudi Arabia in Yemen.

A reflection on history, Man's greatest teacher.
Some 2,500 years past, the "parents" of the Iranians preened and strutted across the
Middle East, trumpets blaring they were the greatest and all better kow-tow immediately, or else.
The Greeks paid them no mind, so Darius decided to teach them a permanent lesson.
He confronted the Prince of Macedon at Gaugamela (Arbela, northern Iraq) in 330 BC
having a 5 to 1 advantage in Calvary and Infantry..
There, Alexander inflicted arguably his greatest victory, crushing the Persians in half a
day while destroying their Empire and leaving some 250,000 of their dead on the battlefield,
w/Darius hanging from a tree.
We are unserious about Iran as our foreign policy assholery prove repeatedly.
If so, we would produce another Alexander who would seize the initiative and
leave that trash hanging from trees while setting Tehran on fire.
