#IsraelIranConflict The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran remains one of the most volatile geopolitical flashpoints in the Middle East. With decades of hostility, proxy wars, and nuclear tensions, the stakes are higher than ever. Here’s a breakdown of the key issues:
Roots of the Conflict**
- **Historical Rivalry**: Since Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, the two nations have been ideological foes. Iran opposes Israel’s existence, while Israel sees Iran as an existential threat.
- **Proxy Wars**: Iran supports groups like Hezbollah (Lebanon) and Hamas (Gaza), while Israel conducts strikes to curb Iranian influence in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
- **Nuclear Concerns**: Israel vehemently opposes Iran’s nuclear program, fearing a weaponized capability, while Iran insists its program is peaceful.
