#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 views Iran's nuclear program and its support for proxies such as Hezbollah and Hamas as an existential threat. Meanwhile, Iran seeks to enhance its regional influence and confront what it considers the "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 weapon shipments and sites of Iranian proxies, and Iran responds with threats or attacks through its proxies. Tensions have recently escalated into direct exchanges of strikes.
