Israel and Iran are not in an official state of war but have been engaged in ongoing proxy conflicts and significant political tensions, often highlighted by regional power struggles and ideological differences. Iran, as an Islamic Republic, opposes Israel’s existence as a Jewish state, and Iran’s support for anti-Israel groups like Hezbollah and Hamas fuels hostilities. Israel perceives Iran’s nuclear program as a major threat, which has led to a strategic rivalry manifesting in cybersecurity clashes, diplomatic isolation efforts, and military actions in Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. Although direct military conflict between the two countries has not occurred, these factors maintain a climate of hostility, contributing to an ongoing, albeit indirect, conflict.
