the weird part is that hebzollah while shia was intiially more resistant to iranian influence by far of the two terrorist organizations but once nasrallah took over--that changed drastically.

Hezbollah since its foundation was supported by the IRGC, although after the death of Khomeini (and especially after the assassination of Abas al-Musawi), there was a power struggle between the anti-Iranians (led by Subhi al-Tufayli) and the pro-Iranians (led by Nasrallah). Nasrallah came out on top due to heavy management by the Iranians and the systemic side-stepping of Tufayli's faction.

Hamas under its founder Ahmed Yassin was very much anti Shia.
