The Iran - Israel relationship has undergone significant fluctuations over the years. While historical ties once existed, political shifts, the Islamic Revolution, and regional conflicts involving neighboring nations have fueled a longstanding enmity. MALONEY: Iran has been hostile to Israel since the 1979 revolution, and their consistent rhetoric has been that they believe that Israel is an illegitimate state and should be expelled from. Israel and Iran - nations that were once friends, even allies - are staring at an all-out armed conflict. Back in 1948, Iran was among very few Muslim-majority nations that recognised the new. In the 1980s Israel sent secret arms shipments worth billions to Iran during its war with Iraq, to counter Saddam Hussein. Israel also became the conduit for American military equipment sent to Iran in during the Iran-Contra affair. Before today’s bitter conflict, Iran and Israel were close allies—sharing oil, intelligence, and friendship. This is the lost chapter the world rarely remembers.

Before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran and Israel were strategic allies during the Pahlavi era [1].
