#IsraelIranConflict

The **Israel-Iran conflict** is a long-standing geopolitical rivalry rooted in ideological, religious, and strategic differences. Iran supports anti-Israel groups like **Hezbollah** and **Hamas**, while Israel views Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence as existential threats. Tensions have escalated with **cyberattacks, assassinations, and proxy wars** in Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.

In **April 2024**, direct clashes erupted when Iran launched **300+ missiles/drones** at Israel, retaliating for an airstrike on its consulate in Syria. Israel responded with targeted strikes. The U.S. and allies seek to prevent a wider war, but the risk remains high as both nations avoid full-scale conflict while engaging in shadow warfare. The situation threatens Middle East stability and global security.
