History

Historical Context

The 1979 Iranian Revolution transformed Iran from a pro-Western monarchy to an anti-Israel Islamic republic, severing diplomatic ties and igniting a proxy conflict. Iran's support for militant groups like Hezbollah and Hamas intensified hostilities, leading to Israel's perception of Iran as an existential threat. This ongoing animosity has escalated into direct military confrontations, notably in 2024, with significant implications for regional stability.
