Abstract: The Iran-Israel struggle, while now not an immediate warfare, reveals decades of geopolitical tensions founded in ideological, non-secular, and regional electricity dynamics. Since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Iran has put itself in competition with Israel, demanding its eradication, while aiding proxy corporations like Hezbollah and Hamas. Israel, in turn, considers Iran’s effect and nuclear goals as existential dangers, leading to covert actions, hacking, and strikes on Iranian-subsidized forces in Syria. The United States has played a crucial role in this war, moving between diplomatic attempts, navy techniques, and financial sanctions. After the 1979 revolution and the hostage catastrophe, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Iran, siding extra solidly with Israel. Over the years, Washington sought to comprise Iran's effect via numerous techniques, including arms embargos and labeling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist commercial enterprise. For a long time, we have seen varying U.S. strategies—from Obama’s diplomatic attempts through the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to Trump’s pullout from the deal and a "most pressure" marketing campaign towards Iran. Israel has rejected the JCPOA, fearing it might empower Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. The Abraham Accords, which normalized members of the family among Israel and many Arab states, attempted to offset Iran’s impact. In parallel, the U.S. has worked to prevent a direct navy escalation between Israel and Iran, regardless of rising regional instability.
