#IsraelIranConflict

The conflict between Israel and Iran is a complex and long-standing rivalry, with deep historical and ideological roots. Although the countries do not share common borders, the clash manifests itself through a "shadow war," with indirect attacks, covert operations, and support for rival groups in the region.

Key points to understand the conflict:

* Islamic Revolution (1979): Relations between the two countries were cordial before 1979. The Islamic Revolution in Iran, which brought the ayatollahs to power, marked the beginning of Iran's rejection of Israel and the adoption of the Palestinian cause as an ideological pillar.

* Iranian Nuclear Program: Israel views Iran's nuclear program as an existential threat. Iran, for its part, claims that its program is for peaceful purposes, but it has enriched uranium to levels close to weaponization, raising significant international concern.

* Support for Rival Groups: Iran is accused by Israel of financing and supporting groups such as Hamas in Palestine and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which are declared enemies of Israel.

* Reciprocal Attacks (Shadow War): Both countries conduct secret attacks or attacks attributed to third parties. Israel has been accused of targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and assassinating scientists, while Iran is blamed for attacks on Israeli ships and cyber actions.

* Recent Escalation (June 2025): There was a significant escalation of the conflict in mid-June 2025. Israel launched massive airstrikes against nuclear facilities and Iranian military leaders, labeling the action as "preventive" to dismantle the nuclear program. Iran, in turn, considered the attack a "declaration of war" and vowed retaliation, launching drones against Israel.

The current situation is one of high tension, with fears of even greater escalation and impacts on oil prices and regional stability.
