Which country supports Hezbollah financially?
Iran and Syria.
Do Hezbollah officials live in Lebanon?
Some of Hezbollah's senior leadership live in Lebanon and the remainder live in Syria and Iran.
How does the Lebanese military feel about Hezboaah?
The Lebanese Military is generally wary of Hezbollah, primarily because Hezbollah is stronger than the Lebanese Military and Hezbollah takes its marching orders from Assad's Syria and Iran, not the Lebanese people, which means that Hezbollah could act in contravention to Lebanese welfare.
Are Iran and Hezbollah off US terror threat listing because Obama is winning the war on terror?
No. Iran and Hezbollah were not on the US terror listing because of Iran's support of the US campaign against ISIL and because Iran is negotiating with the US. Hezbollah, as an Iranian proxy that is also fighting ISIL was similarly not listed. However, this is merely political and designed to facilitate cooperation between the US and Iran.See more here.Finally, the Community Answer below is written in an absurd way by a contributor who has consistently taken an Anti-Obama stance and therefore is writing this answer sarcastically,
Can Hezbollah invade Israel?
Answer 1Yes, they can as they have many allies throughout the middle east and Israel does not know where the headquarters are.Answer 2There are two parts to that question: 1) Can Hezbollah breach Israel's borders? and 2) If they can do this, can they sustain this breach?1) Yes. Hezbollah proved that it can breach Israeli defenses when they kidnapped the Israeli soldiers Regev and Goldwasser. This, however, was a coordinated attack with months of planning as opposed to a morning jaunt. Hezbollah needs to use a concerted effort to breach Israeli defenses.2) No. Hezbollah showed in the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War, that Hezbollah is an insurgent fighting group. Such a group can only fight a defensive war, not an offensive one that requires occupation of hostile territory. Hezbollah requires loyal allies to live in the territory to be invaded. Israelis (whether Jewish or Arab) have no love of Hezbollah and this would require the army to fight out in the open where the Israeli army is much more effective. It is telling that during the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War that the only attacks perpetrated within Israeli borders were missile attacks as opposed to military raids or direct combat. As concerns Hezbollah's allies, Iran, for all of its bluster, is not willing to expend military troops to bolster the regime of Bashar al-Assad (a regime it still financially backs) while Syria is in the midst of a civil war that Iran could effectively end. How much less is Iran interested in assisting an invasion of a country that has a far stronger military capability and where it has no internal allies.

What is the name of the radical Islamic movement supported throughout the Middle east by Iran?
There is no transnational, violent, radical Islamic movement that Iran supports. Iran gives material support to Hamas, currently in power in the Gaza Strip, but Hamas does not operate outside of Israel and the Occupied Territories. Iran's elite Quds Brigade, a part of their Revolutionary Guards, helped in the formation of Hezbollah in Lebanon in the early 1980s during the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon and Iran continues to provide material support for Hezbollah as well. However, similar to Hamas, Hezbollah rarely operates outside of Lebanon - the only occurences I can think of would be cross-border raids into Israel. In short, Iran does not provide backing for the (Sunni) Wahhabist, trans-national terrorists groups traditionally associated with al-Qaeda; indeed, most of these groups view Shia Iran with as much suspicion as they view the US. Iran does support various movements that are capable of violence and traditionally viewed as radical but these are uniformly national movements with national ambitions, and do not operate "throughout the Middle East".
How did Iran affect Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel?
Iran has charismatic leader like, Ahmadinedja. He has anti-western polIcy and called Israel, United States as his enemy. Today he has ambition to create nuclear weapon. So with his spirit and policy, it will make Hezbollah in Libanon jyhad more against Israel and western. For Israel people, it becames a "threat" for their national security, so all of them keep wathing Ahmadinedja's policy.
Is Iran working with isis?
No. Iran is actually putting manpower into supporting the Republic of Iraq and funding Hezbollah in Syria, which are two groups actively fighting against ISIL. It could be reasonably argued that Iran is the most invested country (other than Iraq and Syria, where ISIL is an active insurgency) in defeating ISIL.
