Historical Context

The 1979 Iranian Revolution established the Islamic Republic, shifting Iran's foreign policy towards hostility against the U.S. and Israel. Following the revolution, Iran supported militant groups, intensifying regional conflicts. Economic sanctions, including the freezing of over $150 billion in assets, further strained relations, contributing to ongoing tensions that threaten regional stability and international relations, particularly in the context of recent military escalations.
