#IsraelIranConflict The Israel–Iran conflict is a tense confrontation that has lasted for decades between two Middle Eastern countries with deeply opposing political and religious stances. The rivalry dates back to after the Iranian Revolution in 1979, 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 its national security, particularly concerning Tehran's nuclear program.
The conflict often takes place 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 dynamics of the Middle East.
