The #IsraelIranConflict refers to the long-standing tensions between Israel and Iran, rooted in geopolitical, ideological, and security issues. Iran does not recognize Israel as a state and supports militant groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, which oppose Israel’s existence. Israel, in turn, views Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional influence as major threats. The conflict has played out through proxy wars, cyberattacks, airstrikes in Syria, and political confrontation. Tensions escalated in 2024–2025 amid regional instability, raising fears of direct military conflict. Global powers often intervene diplomatically to prevent full-scale war, but deep-rooted hostility keeps the conflict volatile and dangerous.
