Shia political movements are organized efforts by Shia Muslims to influence governance and political systems in various countries. These movements often seek to promote the interests and rights of Shia communities, which can be a minority in predominantly Sunni nations. They may advocate for social justice, political representation, and the implementation of Islamic law based on Shia interpretations. One notable example is the Hezbollah in Lebanon, which combines political and military strategies to assert Shia influence. Other movements, like the Sadrist Movement in Iraq, focus on grassroots mobilization and social services, aiming to empower Shia populations within their respective states.
