History

Historical Context

The Iranian Revolution of 1979, which overthrew the Pahlavi monarchy, established the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini. This shift alarmed neighboring countries and led to the Iran-Iraq War in 1980, as Iraq sought to exploit Iran's instability. Iran's subsequent support for groups like the Houthis has perpetuated regional conflicts, with over 270 missile incidents reported recently in Israel and the West Bank.
