Editing Iran (section)

=== Expansion ===

==== Yemeni Proxy Conflict ====
In 2030, the Collateral Liberty Pact backed up anarchist rebels in Yemen- Yemen asked Somalia if he had seen anarchists himself before, but as Somalia broke out into civil war himself, Yemen received no answer. With backing from the Middle Eastern Bloc, the rebels in North Yemen were quickly put down, but they established a foothold in the south and pushed to a stalemate frontline resembling the old border between North and South Yemen before their unification in our timeline. As such, Türkiye, the Middle Eastern Bloc's leader, proposed a split, with the North being aligned with the Middle Eastern Bloc, while in the South a Collateral Liberty Pact member state was set up. 

==== Iraqi Civil War ====
In 2039, an anarchist uprising in Iraq supported by the Collateral Liberty Pact occurred. Initially, Iraq declined offers of help from Saudi Arabia and the Middle Eastern Bloc, as Iraq began to lose the war the entire alliance started sending him supplies. However, the Collateral Liberty Pact responded by directly declaring war on Iraq, and when Saudi Arabia started mobilizing to intervene himself, Türkiye demanded that he back down to avoid starting a massive Middle Eastern war, which Saudi Arabia had to go along with. Thus, an anarchist Iranian puppet regime was set up in Iraq, with Kurdistan annexing the majority-Kurdish lands.

==== African Revolution ====

Although the Collateral Liberty Pact (Not including Kurdistan, who wasn't aware of the secret operations of the alliance) secretly provided aid to the democrats along with Germany in order to kick the West out of Africa, there was also a more directly backed Anarchist Chadian state that rose up and gained power as a member of the Collateral Liberty Pact directly. 

==== Operation Integral and falling out with Kurdistan ====
After both Saudi Arabia and Israel were kicked out of the Middle Eastern Bloc, Iran immediately ordered the alliance to strike Türkiye Almost immediately, Kurds in Türkiye launched an insurgency in the name of democracy instead of anarchism, and Iran accused Kurdistan of betraying the ideology. Kurdistan responded by saying that the rebels would still join him and also briefly pointed out that he had given the mafia control over financial and military sectors. Iran got suspicious of this, but didn't say anything at that moment. Instead, as the war with Türkiye ground to a halt, the alliance funded an environmentalist libertarian uprising that quickly took over the country. Immediately after this, Iran ordered the alliance to attack Kurdistan himself, whereupon Kurdistan revealed that he had classified documents that could make the anarchist reputation go dead. This forced the alliance to withdraw, but relations remained extremely tense. 

==== Failed invasion of the Levant ====
In 2059, a 3-way war broke out as Syria and Iraq attacked all the Levantine states at the same time, while Israel was also at war with the rest of the Levant. However, Iran refused to join the invasion claiming that their enemies would learn to cooperate with each other. This statement proved to be correct- although Kuwait fell and the initial offensives went very well, when Israel eventually managed to cooperate with the other Levantine nations, they immediately started pushing the two anarchists back. Iran immediately ordered them to sign peace, saying that if he joined and they still didn't easily win, that the Deobandi Authority would declare war on them.
