if you want to talk about who destabilized the region, start with the powers that turned it into a chessboard:

You just listed every group that refused to die quietly and called that a case for "destabilization."
Let me answer you in the same rhythm:
Who armed Saddam when he gassed Iranians and Kurds?
Who armed Israel as it erased Palestine from the map?
Who armed Saudi Arabia while it starved Yemeni children?
Who armed the Shah while his torture chambers were full?
Who armed the mujahideen in Afghanistan, then called them a mistake?
Who armed militias in Syria, then cried "terrorism" when the fire spread?
You know the answer.
The same capitals that now point at Iranian-backed groups and scream "destabilizing" are the ones that:
Drew the borders.
Picked the kings.
Toppled the governments.
Looted the oil.
Sanctioned the economies.
And then sold weapons to every regime that agreed to kneel.
Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the Iraqi militias, the Shia brigades you listed:
They did not appear in a vacuum.
They are the armed vocabulary of people who learned that unarmed vocabulary gets you massacred.
You ask:
"Who arms them?"
I ask:
Who created a world where Palestinians need rockets just to be noticed?
Who created a world where Yemenis need missiles just to break a blockade?
Who created a world where Lebanese villages need resistance just to avoid becoming South Lebanon 1982 forever?
If you are truly upset by the fact that Iran arms these groups, then you should be twice as upset by the conditions that made those groups necessary:
Occupation.
Siege.
Ethnic cleansing.
Dictators handpicked by foreign powers.
Wars launched by people who never have to bury their own children.
Iran did not bring foreign armies to the region.
They did not invade Iraq in 2003.
They did not flatten Fallujah.
They did not turn Libya into a slave market.
They did not drop white phosphorus on Gaza.
They armed those who decided that dying on their feet was preferable to dying on camera as "collateral damage."
You think you are asking a hard question:
"Who arms Hamas? Who arms Hezbollah? Who arms the Houthis?"
You are not.
The hard question is:
Who made a world where every time people tried peaceful negotiation, international law, UN resolutions, "the peace process," they got more settlements, more blockades, more sanctions, more graves?
You do not get to burn down a neighborhood, arm the arsonists, and then point at the people grabbing buckets of water and say:
"Look at them. They are escalating."
Iran's hands are not clean.
No state's hands are.
But if you want to talk about who destabilized the region, start with the powers that turned it into a chessboard:
The United States.
Israel.
NATO clients.
The same network of "allies" that can level a country and still be called "the international community."
You ask who arms the people who fight back.
I ask who arms the ones they are fighting.
