History

Historical Context

The 1979 Iranian Revolution replaced the pro-Western Pahlavi monarchy with an anti-Israel Islamic Republic led by Ayatollah Khomeini. This shift intensified Iran's hostility towards Israel, particularly after the 1982 Lebanon War, leading to proxy conflicts. The U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018 further escalated tensions, culminating in the ongoing multi-domain war that threatens regional stability.
