Frequently asked questions
Why are Israel and Iran fighting?
US and Israeli attacks on Iran follow years of confrontation over Tehran's nuclear programme and regional influence. The two allies have long claimed that Iran's advancing enrichment activities and missile capabilities pose a threat to them, and they have repeatedly warned that they could use force against Tehran.
Who is more powerful, Israel or Iran?
Israel is generally considered militarily more powerful due to its superior technology, advanced air force (F-35s), effective multi-layered air defenses (Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow), and strong US backing, allowing it to overcome Iran's quantitative edge in direct confrontations.
How did Iran become an enemy of Israel
The Islamic Republic of Iran's foreign policy doctrine includes calling for the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state. This position emerged from the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which transformed Iran–Israel relations from close partners during the Pahlavi monarchy to principal ideological adversaries.
