Israel-Hamas war

Israel-Iran

Israel and Iran are two countries in the Middle East considered sworn enemies. Prior to the Iranian revolution in 1979 the two countries enjoyed good diplomatic relations. After the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran adopted a strict policy against Zionism and the Western world. At the center of the rivalry is Iran’s nuclear program, which Israel is trying to thwart, while Iran finances and encourages terrorist attacks against Israel via its proxies across the Middle East.
