#IsraelIranConflict

The conflict between Israel and Iran is a complex regional dispute with historical roots. After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, relations shifted from cooperation to hostility. Israel sees Iran's nuclear program and its support for proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas as an existential threat. Meanwhile, Iran seeks to enhance its regional influence and confront what it considers "Israeli occupation".

The conflict often takes the form of a "shadow war" or "proxy war" in countries like Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon, where Israel targets Iranian weapons shipments and the positions of Iranian proxies, and Iran responds with threats or attacks through its proxies. Recently, tensions have escalated with a direct exchange of strikes.
