Hamas and Israel have been at war for three months. The Houthis are firing rockets at ships in the Red Sea. Lebanon is firing rockets into Israel. And internal violence is growing in Iran between Sunni and Shiite Muslims.

As tension builds in the Middle East, the most common thread in the conflict is Iran, according to Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump.

There are three Iranian-sponsored terrorist groups beginning with \\u201cH\\u201d in the region, Coates explains\\u2014to include Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah. 

Consider the attack on Israel alone. 

\\u201cHamas doesn\'t have the capability to do this on their own. They needed the help from Hezbollah. They needed the help ultimately from Iran in terms of equipment and intelligence and so on,\\u201d says Coates, who currently serves as vice president of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation. (The Daily Signal is Heritage\\u2019s news outlet.) 

The Biden administration has failed to take strategic action against Iran, Coates says. Meanwhile, \\u201cthere have been closer to 150 attacks on the part of these various Iranian proxy groups on U.S. installations and people\\u201d since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7.

Coates joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to explain why the Biden administration has not taken consistent strategic action against Iran and to address the threat of all-out war in the Middle East.
