What do you mean “what are they doing with those people”?
They support their catspaws militarily. Training, supplies, and direct action - as the IRGC in particular has been caught time and time again fighting directly in service to various Iranian-linked militias in conflict zones, including Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and Afghanistan.
No like, what are those militias actually doing after getting Iranian training and supplies? I mean Iraq for example isn’t exactly in active conflict right?

Fighting. Killing. Torturing. Intimidating their enemies and local governments. What militias and other paramilitaries in conflict zones generally do. They aren’t sitting around, polishing their rifles and fetching cats from trees, if that’s what you’re thinking.

Hundreds still die in ongoing sectarian conflict in Iraq every year, and Iranian-backed militias (most of which were supported and became powerful by Iran’s influence in the past two decades, not recently) muscling in by forces of arms is a major political issue.

Fair enough. I guess I take the stuff about Iran being peaceful back.
