However, trusting solely on a state sponsorship is not a smart move. Iranian support decreased due to the fights between Amal and Hezbollah; the bloodshed between the groups was no longer tolerated. Also, Iranian policies took a relatively more moderate turn after the death of Ayatollah Khomeini. In light of the end of the cold war, Iran had to adjust to a world in which US had no rival.
