I’m curious to learn about it. Could someone point me in the right direction to a credible source to find out more?

Perhaps begin with wikipedia. When reading the open source article, keep in mind that the repeated use of “alleged” is because Iranians can edit the article too. There ain’t no “allegedly” about it.
From there, many good books have been written.

For the modern era, you can start here:

The 1978 Cinema Rex Fire
The Cinema Rex fire occurred on August 19, 1978, in Abadan, Iran, when arsonists locked the theater's emergency exits, poured gasoline inside, and ignited it during a screening attended by approximately 700 people, primarily working-class families.[19] [20] The blaze spread rapidly due to the locked doors and flammable interior, causing panic and a deadly stampede among trapped victims, many of whom were women and children; firefighters arrived late amid chaotic street protests, and local hydrants malfunctioned, exacerbating the toll.[19] [21]
Death estimates varied initially, with official figures reporting 377 fatalities, though independent accounts cited up to 470, including over 100 burned beyond recognition and many asphyxiated from smoke.[19]
...
Post-1979 investigations by revolutionary tribunals revealed the perpetrators as four Islamist militants, including Hossein Takbalizadeh, who confessed to planning and executing the arson as part of anti-regime sabotage, drawing on tactics akin to those of earlier groups like Fadayan-e-Islam.[24]

A tough row to hoe.
Perhaps you can start with the Persian Wars of 499 B.C. ?
Someone wrote a book about it.

Not at all. Genuinely curious how they do it, and what events are documented, alleged etc
Who are their proxies? Allies? Who are the main players…
Not looking for a Wikipedia page or Google. Just asking so I can get pointed in the right direction without some algorithm tells BG me what I need to know.

Iran, Revolution, and Proxy Wars (2019) by Ofira Seliktar and Farhad Rezaei examines how Iran's Islamic Republic institutionalized the export of its 1979 revolution through asymmetric warfare and the creation of an "Axis of Resistance." The book details the IRGC's development of the Quds Force and the utilization of proxies like Hezbollah in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen to challenge regional adversaries and project power.
quote:
Ayatollah Khomeini and his followers were not content with creating an Islamic Republic in Iran alone. Velayat-e faqih asserted that the mandate of the religious ruler extends beyond Iran to include the entire Ummah, the universe of Muslim countries. Indeed, according to Khomeini, the nation-state was a Western construct, and part of the imperial-colonial design considered heresy (kufr) in Islam. Liberating the mustazafeen thus required propagating Islam (tabligh-e eslam) and exporting the revolution (sudur engilab). For instance, on January 14, 1980, Ayatollah Khomeini stated: "We are at war against the infidels..., I ask all Islamic nations, all Muslims, to join the holy war. There are many enemies to be killed or destroyed. Jihad must triumph." In a New Year message on March 21, 1980, he announced that "we must strive to export our revolution throughout the world and must abandon all ideas of not doing so."
This is what the islamist firsters on this board don't understand.
