The relationship between Israel, the Jewish state, and Iran hasn’t always been as hostile as it is today. In fact, under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Iran and Israel maintained a pragmatic relationship. The two nations engaged in economic and military cooperation, sharing concerns about the rise of Arab nationalism and Soviet influence in the region. However, the 1979 Iranian Revolution dramatically altered this dynamic.
Similarly, Hamas, a Palestinian Sunni-Islamist militant organization governing the Gaza Strip, receives financial and military support from Iran despite the Sunni-Shia divide, united in their opposition to Israel. Iran’s backing enables Hamas to conduct attacks against Israel, including rocket fire and tunnel warfare.In Yemen, the Houthi rebels, a Shia Zaidi group, have been engaged in a civil war against the Yemeni government and a Saudi-led coalition since 2014.
Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear bomb has long been one of the most contentious issues, fiercely opposed by both the U.S. and Israel. For Israel, the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran represents an existential threat, prompting an all-out campaign to derail Tehran’s efforts. Iran has reeled after each attack, which it views as a national embarrassment, pledging to find the culprits. It has announced multiple times that it has uncovered Israeli spy networks, but this has neither reduced the frequency nor the audacity of Israeli attacks.
