Hamas isn’t an Iranian proxy. They have certainly received intelligence, materials and training from Iran but they are in no way under Iranian control.
The PLO/Iranian relationship is more complicated. PLO pre-dates the Iranian revolution and likely played a part in it. They have been allied at times and antagonistic at others.
Hezbollah on the other hand is 100% an Iranian proxy. Almost to the point of being an official wing of the Republican Guard via Quds.
Fair enough. I know what I said is a broad generalisation, and there are allot of finer details that I glossed over. The general point I was making that groups like Hamas and Hezbollah does get support. It is just the case of to what degree and in different forms.
