Iran–Israel Cold War

The Iran–Israel proxy conflict is an ongoing political and armed tension between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the State of Israel.

The two countries have involved in direct and indirect engagements, both have participated in indirect conflicts through proxy disputes. Especially, Iran has created a front against Israel and has provided numerous resources to anti-Israeli groups. Although both nations were once allies and cooperated strongly with the United States diplomatically, economically and politically under the Imperial State of Iran, that all changed after the Iranian Revolution of 1979 which established an Islamic nation of Iran that went against Israel (see Policy of Iran towards Israel).

Iran's proxy involvement against Israel began during the 1985–2000 South Lebanon conflict, in which Iran supported Hezbollah, an enemy of Israel.

 2006 Lebanon War

Meanwhile, since the Gaza–Israel conflict broke out in the Gaza Strip in 2006, Iran has supported anti-Israeli groups like Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Israel also strengthens its diplomatic relationships with the United States and Saudi Arabia, the two nations that are enemies of Iran.
