Iran and Israel, as two important countries in the Middle East, have been watching the transformation of their relations. From allies to rivals, how did they get to this point? Let's look back at the history between them.
Initially, relations between Iran and Israel were not hostile. Iran under the Pahlavi dynasty was one of the first Muslim-majority countries to recognize Israel.
However, this friendly relationship underwent a drastic change during the Islamic Revolution in Iran. In 1979, the Islamic regime in Iran was established, which led to a sharp deterioration in relations between Iran and Israel.
Iran became one of the countries that were strongly hostile to Israel. Over the past few decades, Iran has been accused of supporting terrorist groups and anti-Israel forces.
This has made Israel highly vigilant against Iran, believing that Iran's nuclear program could threaten Israel's security.
Israel has been closely concerned about Iran's nuclear weapons program and has repeatedly called on the international community to take action to limit Iran's nuclear energy development.
In addition, Iran and Israel have clearly hostile positions in the Syrian war.
Iran supports Syrian government forces, while Israel has repeatedly struck Iranian military targets in Syria.
This has further heightened tensions between the two sides. Recently, Iran's attack on Israel has attracted global attention.
Iran sent hundreds of drones and missiles to Israel in the first direct clash between the two sides.
Iran said it was in retaliation for Israel's aggression against Iran in Syria. Israel, for its part, announced that it would make a decision to strike back at its own discretion. In the face of the Iranian threat, Israel expressed its resolute position.
They stressed Israel's right to protect its national interests and security and said it would make its own decisions.
Israel also considers Iran's nuclear program to be a threat to the stability and security of the entire Middle East region. In this tense situation, the attention of the international community is also very focused.
A number of countries have called on Iran and Israel to exercise restraint and resolve their differences through peaceful dialogue. At the same time, a number of countries have expressed support for Israel and pledged to provide corresponding security guarantees.
However, it is not easy to resolve the hostile relations between Iran and Israel. Over the years, the contradictions and disputes between the two sides have gone deep into the roots. It is only through in-depth peace dialogue and diplomatic efforts that it will be possible to find a way to solve the problem.
In any case, relations between Iran and Israel remain tense.
In this eventful season, the world expects both sides to exercise restraint, resolve their differences through peaceful means, and work for stability and security in the Middle East. After all, a peaceful solution is the key to achieving the common interests of both sides and regional prosperity.
