Ξ Iran & HHH ..The phrase "axis of evil" was first used by U.S. President George W. Bush in Bush's State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, and originally referred to Iran, Ba'athist Iraq, and North Korea. Bush used it to describe foreign governments that, during his administration, allegedly sponsored terrorism and sought weapons of mass destruction.

In response, Iran formed a political alliance that it called the "Axis of Resistance" comprising Iran, Syria and Lebanon-based Hezbollah.

On May 6, 2002, then-Undersecretary of State John Bolton gave a speech entitled "Beyond the Axis of Evil". In it he added three more nations to be grouped with the already mentioned rogue states: Cuba, Libya, and Syria. The criteria for inclusion in this grouping were: "state sponsors of terrorism that are pursuing or who have the potential to pursue weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or have the capability to do so in violation of their treaty obligations."

In 2024, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and his predecessor, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, cautioned about the formation of a new axis of autocracies led by China, but joined by Russia, Iran and North Korea. The same states have been recognized as a new axis of evil by several American politicians, including Christopher CavoliMike Johnson, and Mitch McConnell.
