HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has intensified since March 2026, when the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iranian military infrastructure, including power plants and air defenses.
This offensive was a significant escalation in a long-standing geopolitical struggle, with Iran responding to these actions through various military maneuvers, including missile launches and drone operations. The situation has further complicated regional dynamics, particularly involving Hezbollah, which has historically aligned with Iran against Israel.
