English term or phrase: Iranian proxy
Hello,

I am translating a Newsletter about Israeli news.
How would you translate "Iranian proxy" in this context:

"Hundreds of rockets have been fired into Israel by the Iranian proxy in Gaza – the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group".

Thank you!

organización vinculada a Irán / organización satélite de Irán
Explanation:
En este caso en particular diría que proxy alude a proxy organization, una organización vinculada a Irán -que de hecho aparece acusada de ser financiada, económica y militarmente, por Irán. Vinculada o dependiente de Irán creo que pueden resultar ajustados al contexto. Si quieres leerlo más agresivamente, organización satélite de Irán resulta fiel a la idea de proxy ("representante").

Cientos de misiles han sido lanzados sobre Israel por la organización vinculada a Irán en Gaza, el grupo terrorista Yihad Islámica Palestina (PIJ).
