The Israel–Iran conflict is a tense standoff that has lasted for decades between two Middle Eastern countries with deeply opposing political and religious stances. The enmity originated after the 1979 Iranian Revolution when Iran declared it would not recognize the existence of the State of Israel and supported anti-Israel organizations such as Hezbollah (in Lebanon) and Hamas (in the Gaza Strip). Meanwhile, Israel views Iran as the greatest threat to national security, particularly concerning Tehran's nuclear program.

The conflict often occurs indirectly through cyberattacks, assassinations, and Israeli airstrikes on Iran-affiliated targets in Syria. Recently, tensions have escalated following events in Gaza and Lebanon, raising concerns about a comprehensive regional war.

Both sides have different strategic interests and international allies, making this conflict not only bilateral but also affecting the overall landscape of the Middle East.
