Iran's allies are Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen

Meanwhile US allies in Middle East: KSA, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain, UAE, Azerbaijan, Turkey. Supports each one way or another.

So even in the middle east, Iran has less proxies than US (also proxy vs alliance definition is just narrative), let alone other regions that Iran has no interest in.
