Know the whole story of their friendship and enmity.
For Iran, America is big and Israel is a small devil.

Iran prepares axis of resistance against Israel
Israel believes that Hezbollah funds Hamas and Houthi rebels and that Iran's Supreme Commander Ayatollah Khamenei incites anti-Semitic organizations against Israel. Thousands of people have died so far due to the enmity between these two. Iran has prepared an axis of resistance against Israel.
Iran once recognized the formation of Israel
According to Dr. Dhananjay Tripathi, Iran's relations with Israel were quite friendly until the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Before the Islamic Revolution, Iran was ruled by the Pahlavi dynasty. At that time Iran was one of America's major allies in the Middle East. When Israel was formed in 1948, Iran was the second Muslim country after Türkiye to recognize Israel.
How Khomeini sowed the seeds of hatred towards Israel and America
Israel's founder and head of its first government, David Ben Gurion, befriended Iran to placate its Arab neighbors so that no one could say anything about the new Jewish state. But in 1979 a revolution led by hardline Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Shah and imposed an Islamic republic. Khomeini had declared himself the protector of Iran. He sowed the seeds of hatred towards America and Israel in Iran, the extreme form of which is visible today.
Ayatollah broke all relations with Israel
Ayatollah's government broke relations with Israel. It stopped recognizing the validity of its citizens' passports and seized the Israeli embassy in Tehran, handing it over to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). At that time the PLO was leading the fight against Israel for a separate Palestine. The reason was that many commanders of the Ayatollah's government had fought with the PLO in Lebanon.
When Israel fought Iraq for Iran
This friendship between Israel and Iran was so deep that even after the arrival of Khomeini, Israel provided a lot of help to Iran during the Iran-Iraq war from 1980 to 1988. What happened was that on 22 September 1980, Saddam Hussein's army suddenly attacked. Attacked Iran. Israel was at the forefront in providing military equipment to Iran during the war.
Iraq's nuclear reactors were destroyed
Israel had given direct support to Iran's war. At that time, Israel had bombed Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor and destroyed it under Operation Babylon. The nuclear reactor was considered a part of Iraq's nuclear weapons program. At that time Iraq was ruled by dictator Saddam Hussein.
Israel's actions against Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi rebels, followed by Iran's missile attacks, marked the beginning of an endless enmity. There is no sign of this enmity ending yet. In this, only western countries including America can play the role of mediator.

When the endless hostility against Israel began
It was 1982, when Israel invaded Lebanon and ousted the Palestine Liberation Organization. The upcoming creation of the security zone in South Lebanon temporarily benefited Israeli allies and the civilian Israeli population in Lebanon. The result was the rise of a domestic Lebanese rather than Palestinian resistance movement within South Lebanon, where Hezbollah came to power.
When America provided weapons to Iran
Antipathy towards Iran in Israel did not begin until the 1990s, when Saddam Hussein's Iraq was considered a greater threat. It is also said that the Israeli government was a mediator in the Iran Contra program. Under this program, weapons were provided to Iran in the war against Iraq between 1980 and 1988.
If Iran starts making nuclear weapons, the situation will become worse.
Relations between the two countries worsened when it was revealed that Iran had started the work of acquiring nuclear weapons. Israel does not at any cost want any country in the Middle East to have nuclear weapons. After this, relations between the two countries further soured, which has now turned into staunch enmity.
Iran took enmity with Israel to help Saudi Arabia
When Iran began to establish its dominance in the region, it also had to face the other major regional power, Saudi Arabia. Shia-dominated Iran developed a different strategy to compete with Sunni-dominated Saudi Arabia and further increased hostility against Israel. The objective was that Iran could become the leader of Muslims in the Arab world. Iran then formed the 'Axis of Resistance' network in the form of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, which extended to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
The shadow war between Israel and Iran has started
According to Dr. Dhananjay Tripathi, the war between Israel and Iran is called 'shadow war' because both the countries do not directly accept the attack. The Islamic Jihadi group once linked to Iran had blown up the Israeli embassy in Argentina. Shortly before that, Hezbollah leader Abbas al-Musawi was assassinated. Mossad was blamed for this. Israel is also held responsible for the recent assassination of pro-Iranian Hamas leader Ismail Haniya and Hezbollah chief commander Nasrallah in Tehran.
What is America's stance on Iranian attacks?
Regarding Iran's missile attacks, US President Joe Biden said that America fully supports Israel. Biden said that on his instructions, the US military actively helped defend Israel during this attack. He said that the attack had proved 'unsuccessful'. At the same time, US Vice President Kamala Harris said that the way America helped Israel in shooting down Iranian missiles is absolutely right.

Will America not be able to make an agreement like Camp David?
Dr. Dhananjay Tripathi says that the Camp David Agreement was signed between Israel and Egypt on 17 September 1978, in which US President Jimmy Carter mediated. The Camp David Accords were signed by then Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. This agreement established peace between the two countries. Because of these agreements, Sadat and Begin jointly received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978. However, at present it seems difficult to reach such an agreement between Israel and Iran, because the issues between the two countries are complex and there is concern about it in the world. Community about Iran's nuclear program.
Will the enmity between Israel and Iran ever end?
According to Dr. Dhananjay Tripathi, the improvement in Iran's relations with the West may cause Iran to reconsider its hostility towards Israel. However, for this to happen, conditions must be created for the re-emergence of a more moderate leadership in Iran. Such a situation may arise after the death of the current supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Progress on the Palestine issue may also influence Iran to reconsider its position. For this, China, which is helping in the restoration of relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, can also make some tacit agreements between Israel and Iran. However, it is too early to say anything right now.
