While he wouldn’t define it strictly as a proxy, I don’t think he’s claiming that Iran isn’t involved with/backing Hezbollah. He was just pushing back at narratives that seem to be about pushing a specific agenda, such as Zionism, and that largely overlook other sociopolitical and historical contexts.
Well, frankly, what the guy is saying regarding this matter that "Hezbollah and Houthis are not proxy of Iran, and saying so is repeating Western/Zionist propaganda" is total BS.
He went far to "prove" his point by referring to some Wikileaks and some "Expert on Houthis"; while he simply has to listen what Nasrallah and other HIGH Iranian spokpersons themselves say about the relationship's nature of the Iran with its groups.
So how do we know Hezbollah are proxy? Ask Hezbollah themselves!!
You have watched the Nasrallah's black and white video right? And the other newer video where he is praising how all Hezbollah's money, arms, and salaries are from Iran.
Take a look a this, the translation is correct, no question about it (Yes, I am aware of MEMRI's shady affiliation, but a real translation is a real translation):
None of the Hezbollah's spokepersons here denied this speech back then, none of them responded about it when it got circulated in Lebanese media.
So what I am saying, while Elica Le Bon is pro-Israel, not everything the guy of the video you shared is saying is correct and can be taken seriously at face value either.
This is not the first time I see Western Radical Leftists (I assume this one is radical leftist because he is so aggressive in asserting his views) spew BS about Middle Eastern matters. PLEASE do take the words of Youtubers at face value, a lot of stuff they say are miseleading and misinformed or at the very least, biased.

It doesn't matter if Iran, Hezbollah and Houthis come from different roots and different backgrounds, we all know that, Iran is Iran, Hezbollah are a bunch of Lebanese, and Houthis are Arab Yemenis of Zaydi Shia..... we all know that, and we all know that each may have their own local goals, but when you completely sell your soul to the devil and swear complete allegiance to him, you become part of the devil.
They became willingly and totally proxy to Iran now, there's no better word to describe them.
When I showed this part of your video (Where he is saying that Hezbollah and Houthis are not proxy) to some of my Lebanese friends, they all facepalmed and laughed.

Wow, thanks for explaining that to me! I had no idea! I pretty much just take whatever I hear on YouTube as literal fact. I mean, if someone’s going to go to the trouble of making a video it’s gotta be true, right?

Ok, point taken… surely I wasn’t referring to bible jumbo mumbo.

Why does the word "Palestinian" trigger such a powerful response? Because it's the kryptonite to the Zionist myth of "a land without a people." We uncover the 1,000-year-old maps, historical records, International law and modern UN votes that expose a truth they tried to erase.

Jim Bakker, noted televangelist and convicted felon recently made the news for begging his viewers to each donate $1000 to raise $1m to save his network and personal home. What doesn't look great for him is that he made almost exactly the same claim in 2020...
