#MarketPullback #MarketPullback #IsraelIranConflict $BTC Iran and Israel have been mortal enemies in recent decades, with Iran repeatedly declaring that it wants to completely annihilate Israel and simply wipe it off the map.

Israel, for its part, considers Iran to be its greatest adversary. But it hasn't always been this way, as noted in an analysis published by Deutsche Welle.

When were Iran and Israel allies?

In fact, Israel and Iran were allies until the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Iran was one of the first states to recognize Israel after its founding in 1948. Israel viewed Iran as an ally against the Arab states. Meanwhile, Iran welcomed the US-backed Israel as a counterbalance to the Arab countries in the region.

At that time, Israel trained Iranian agricultural experts, provided technical knowledge, and contributed to the building and training of the Iranian armed forces. The Iranian Shah paid Israel in oil, as its flourishing economy needed fuel.
