who was involved in the libyan civil war
Libyan Civil War (2011) The first Libyan Civil War, also referred to as the Libyan Revolution[32] or 17 February Revolution,[33] was an armed conflict in 2011, in the North African country of Libya, fought between forces loyal to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and those seeking to oust his government.[34][35] The war was preceded by protests in Zawiya on 8 August 2009, and finally ignited by protests in Benghazi beginning on Tuesday, 15 February 2011, which led to clashes with security forces that fired on the crowd.[36] The protests escalated into a rebellion that spread across the country,[37] with the forces opposing Gaddafi establishing an interim governing body, the National Transitional Council.
Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict Following the United States withdrawal from Iraq in December 2011, the country drifted further into Iran's sphere of influence. The instability that resulted from the Iraqi Civil War and the rise of ISIL threatened the existence of the Iraqi regime and led to an Iranian intervention in 2014. Iran mobilized Shia militia groups to halt and ultimately push back the advancing Sunni insurgency.[234]
