History

Historical Context

The 1979 Iranian Revolution overthrew the Pahlavi monarchy, establishing the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini. This shift led to strained relations with the U.S. and Israel, as Iran began supporting militant groups opposed to these nations. The recent missile strike in Haifa highlights ongoing tensions rooted in this revolutionary legacy, with Iran's actions reflecting its commitment to counter perceived U.S.-Israeli aggression.
