It’s hard to believe, but there was a time when Iran and Israel were actually friends. In 1948, after Israel became a country, Iran was one of the first Muslim countries to recognize it. The two nations worked together, and Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, even helped train Iran’s spies. During the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, Israel sent weapons to Iran to help them fight Iraq.
But today, the story is very different. Iran and Israel are now enemies, and Iran has started supporting groups that attack Israel. These groups are in many countries and are trying to harm Israel.

The Big Change: The Islamic Revolution
So, what happened? Why did Iran and Israel stop being friends? The big change came in 1979 with the Islamic Revolution in Iran. A new leader named Ayatollah Khomeini came to power, and he had different ideas. He didn’t want peace with Israel. Instead, he wanted to unite Muslim countries against Israel.
Khomeini’s government stopped all ties with Israel. They gave the Israeli embassy in Tehran to the Palestinians. Iran then started helping groups like Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. These groups started fighting Israel, with Iran giving them money and weapons.
The Fight: Missiles and Defense Systems
Iran and Israel are now stuck in a long battle. Just recently, Iran fired 200 missiles at Israel. But Israel has a special defense system called Iron Dome, which can stop missiles in the air. Almost all of the missiles were destroyed before they could cause harm.
But the fight doesn’t stop with missiles. Both Iran and Israel are also fighting online in something called cyber war. They try to hack into each other’s systems to cause damage.
Israel Fights Back
After Iran’s missile attack, Israel’s leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, warned Iran that Israel would respond. Israel has strong support from countries like the United States, and its military is much more advanced. Israel is known for its smart use of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in its defense systems. This makes it very hard for Iran to win a direct fight with Israel.
The Future of the Iran-Israel Conflict
The conflict between Iran and Israel has been going on for many years, and it’s not just about missiles and guns. Iran uses militant groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and others to fight Israel without going into battle themselves. But Israel has advanced defense systems, and with AI technology, it can defend itself well.
While Iran keeps trying to find ways to harm Israel, the conflict keeps growing. The future of this fight depends on whether both countries can find a way to stop the fighting and solve their problems peacefully. But with AI and cyberattacks playing a big role now, things are becoming more complicated.
Iran and Israel were once close friends, but now they are enemies. The tension started after Iran’s Islamic Revolution in 1979, and it has only gotten worse. Iran uses different groups to attack Israel, but Israel is ready to defend itself using the Iron Dome and smart AI technology. It’s unclear if the two nations will ever make peace, but for now, their fight continues.
This simple story about the relationship between Iran and Israel shows how things can change over time and how technology is now a key part of modern warfare.
