<h5>What?! Another war!</h5><p>We’ve seen two wars take place in the last two years: (i) between <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/the-conflict-between-russia-and-ukraine">Russia and Ukraine</a>; and (ii) in Gaza between <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/unsc-passes-ceasefire-resolution">Israel and Hamas</a>. Sadly, both wars persist without any sign of stopping.</p><p>Both wars have resulted in an unimaginable amount of damage, deaths, displacement of people, etc.</p><p>Now, it appears that another war between Israel and Iran is on the horizon (let’s hope nothing happens).</p><h5>Oh no! What happened between them?</h5><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <iframe width="100%" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BkjOffe6bG4" title="Israel intercepts drones in Jerusalem amid Iran attack | Raw video" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><figcaption>Drones and missiles intercepted by Israel. Video by 11Alive.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Recently, Iran fired many drones and missiles towards Israel. Israel's aerial defence systems and its allies intercepted the majority of them. Only a few hit Israel, causing little damage.</p><p>Iran carried out this attack in response to a suspected strike by Israel on its consulate in Damascus, Syria, earlier this month.</p><p>This attack has worsened the already strained relationship between the two countries.</p><h5>The Israel-Iran relationship.</h5><p>Long ago, Israel and Iran were friends. But this changed after a revolution took place in Iran. The new government opposed Israel as a part of its ideology.</p><p>It viewed Israel’s existence as an unlawful encroachment into Muslim territory. Israel and the USA have also tried to halt Iran’s nuclear program several times despite assurances of peace.</p><p>Iran has been accused of supporting organisations like Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, both of which are against Israel. So, it is quite a complex and hostile relationship!</p><h5>Reactions to Iran's strike.</h5><p>While Israel has vowed retaliation, its allies, including the USA, the UK, France, etc., have asked the government to remain calm and not do anything that can start another war.</p><p>Iran has warned Israel that retaliatory attacks will result in additional responses from the nation.</p><p>Let's hope both countries can resolve the issue peacefully. The world does not need another war!</p><h5>Update</h5><p>Reports say, Israel has launched missiles at Iran in revenge for their attack. This can increase the tension in the region.</p>

Iran's recent strike on Israel has sparked fear about a possible war between the two countries.
