Iran sponsors the Shiites.
Quote from the Council on Foreign Relations:
"Iran mostly backs Islamist groups, including the Lebanese Shiite militants of Hezbollah (which Iran helped found in the 1980s) and such Palestinian terrorist groups as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. A few months after Hamas won the Palestinian Authority (PA) elections, Iran pledged $50 million to the near-bankrupt PA."
