Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei
Tension between Iran and Israel has reached its peak. Iran can attack Israel at any time. Iran's army is waiting for the approval of its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for the attack. According to the report, the next 48 hours are very important. There has been conflict between these two countries of the Middle East for a long time. A proxy war has been going on between the two countries for almost four decades. There is a diplomatic dispute going on between the two countries. Today we will tell you the whole story of the conflict that started between Israel and Iran.
Although there are many reasons for the tension between Iran and Israel, there are three-four important issues among them. The first thing is that there have been ideological differences between these two countries of the Middle East for a long time. There have also been geopolitical and historical differences between the two countries. Conflict of interests has also been seen between the two countries from time to time. Israel continues to claim that Iran has been supporting groups fighting against it. On the other hand, Iran claims that Israel has targeted many commanders of its army because of its secret military operation.
When these two countries are asked about the attacks on each other, both of them deny. When Iran blames Israel, Israel keeps blaming Iran. Due to tension, both countries support different groups. Iran supports Syria. Along with this, it also helps Hezbollah, a Lebanese group. On the other hand, Israel opposes Syria and does not even want to see the Hezbollah group.
How did the enmity between the two countries start?
The enmity between Israel and Iran began in 1979. During the Iranian Revolution, the Shah of Iran, who was considered an ally of Israel, was ousted from the throne. After the ouster of the Shah of Iran, the Islamic Republic was established in the country. After this, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was handed over the throne of the supreme leader of Iran. Since the time of Ayatollah Ruhollah, Iran's stance had started becoming anti-Israel. Tension began to be seen frequently between the two countries. This is where the tension between the two countries started.
Has been opposing Iran's nuclear program
After the tension with Iran started, Israel tried its best to make itself capable. This is the reason why Israel has been opposing Iran's nuclear program. Israel fears that if Iran gets nuclear weapons, it could prove dangerous for it. However, Iran repeatedly says that it is using nuclear related technology only for peaceful purposes like generating electricity. Being staunch opponents of each other, Israel does not trust Iran at all.
When did tensions increase between Israel and Iran?
After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, tensions between Iran and Israel increased to such an extent that relations between the two countries became quite bitter. The situation became such that Iran broke all its diplomatic and commercial relations with Israel. This tension between the two countries continued till about 1990. For about 11 years, many attempts were made by both the countries to weaken and harm each other.
Tension increased between the two even in the Gulf War
After this, during the Gulf War in 1991, tension between the two countries increased. The tension between the two countries had increased so much that it started affecting other countries of the Middle East. Iran supported it in the 2006 Lebanon war while Israel was against it. In recent years, Iran has been providing backdoor support to many countries of its group including Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, due to which the tension between Israel and it has deepened.
Now tension increased after commercial attack in Damascus
At present, the reason behind the tension between the two countries is the attack on an Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria. Seven senior officers of the Iranian Army Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have died in this attack. Iran was stunned after the attack. Iran suspects that Israel is behind this attack. Although Israel has not yet claimed responsibility for the attack, it has not denied it either. After the attack in Damascus, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned of retaliatory action.
