Iran and Israel war

 The conflict between Iran and Israel is one of the most serious geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Although the two countries have not always been direct enemies, their relationship changed dramatically after the Iranian Revolution. Before 1979, Iran and Israel had relatively friendly relations, but after the revolution Iran adopted a strong anti-Israel policy and began supporting groups that oppose Israel. Since then, the rivalry has grown through political hostility, proxy wars, cyber operations, and occasional direct military attacks.

One of the major reasons for the conflict is Iran’s nuclear program. Israel believes that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, which it sees as a serious threat to its security. Iran, however, says that its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes such as energy production. Because of this disagreement, Israel has carried out intelligence operations and airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and military infrastructure. (Wikipedia)

The tension escalated further in recent years with several direct military confrontations. In October 2024, Iran launched around 200 ballistic missiles toward Israeli military targets in response to earlier attacks. (Wikipedia) In June 2025, Israel carried out a large-scale attack using about 200 fighter jets against more than 100 Iranian targets, including nuclear facilities and military bases. (Wikipedia) Iran retaliated by launching hundreds of missiles and drones toward Israel, damaging some areas and causing casualties. The fighting lasted several days and became known as the Twelve-Day War before a ceasefire was reached under international pressure. (Wikipedia)

The conflict has also affected global politics and the economy. It has increased instability in the Middle East, influenced oil prices, and worried many countries about the possibility of a wider regional war. Financial markets around the world have reacted strongly to the tension, and governments and international organizations continue to call for diplomatic solutions. (The Times of India)

In conclusion, the Iran–Israel conflict is driven by political rivalry, security concerns, and regional power competition. Without dialogue and diplomatic efforts, this conflict could continue to threaten peace and stability in the Middle East and beyond.
