History

Historical Context

The 1982 Lebanon War began when Israel invaded Lebanon on June 6, aiming to expel the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) amid escalating tensions. This conflict marked a shift in Israeli-Iranian relations, which soured after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Today, ongoing hostilities between Iran and Israel, fueled by proxy conflicts, continue to impact regional stability and global oil prices, which recently surged to $105 per barrel.
