#IsraelIranConflict

The Israel-Iran conflict is a long-standing geopolitical and ideological struggle rooted in deep regional rivalries, religious differences, and strategic interests. Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has opposed Israel’s existence, supporting militant groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, which Israel views as major security threats. Iran's nuclear program has further intensified tensions, with Israel seeing it as an existential danger and vowing to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

In response, Israel has reportedly conducted cyberattacks, assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, and airstrikes against Iranian military assets in Syria. Iran, in turn, has armed proxies across the Middle East, enabling it to challenge Israel indirectly. The conflict escalated in 2024 and 2025, with direct missile and drone exchanges, raising fears of a broader regional war.

The United States, a close ally of Israel, plays a significant role in the conflict, often backing Israel diplomatically and militarily, while trying to limit Iran’s regional influence through sanctions and military deterrence. Despite occasional diplomatic efforts, including the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), no lasting resolution has been achieved. The Israel-Iran conflict remains one of the most dangerous and complex confrontations in the Middle East, with global implications for energy security and regional stability.
