#IsraelIranConflict Key Issues

1. Nuclear Program:

Iran’s nuclear development is a major concern for Israel, which fears Tehran might develop nuclear weapons.

2. Proxy Wars:

Iran supports groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, and militias in Syria and Iraq — all hostile to Israel.

3. Cyber & Covert Ops:

Both countries engage in cyber attacks and secret missions. Israel is suspected in assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists.

4. Syria as a Battleground:

Israel regularly strikes Iranian-linked targets in Syria to prevent weapons transfers to Hezbollah.

5. Ideological Hostility:

Iran's government refuses to recognize Israel and often calls for its destruction; Israel sees Iran as its most serious threat.
