See the comparison between the military forces of the two countries

Israel and Iran They have lived in conflict for many years and, after several Israeli attacks of great proportion against the Iranians in June, tensions increased in the Middle East.

In addition, a possible US involvement in the conflict has raised apprehension worldwide. There was even an exchange of threats between US President Donald Trump, and Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said any US intervention “will have series and irreparable consequences.”

Why can both countries conflict directly?

There is a possibility that the United States will enter the war alongside Israel to bomb Iran’s nuclear and military facilities. This situation began to be built two decades ago, when Iran has been accused of trying to develop an atomic bomb.

The fear of Israel is that this is true, so when Tehran has the bomb in hand, you can use it to detonate the country and extinguish it from the map. On the other hand, according to the Iran version, they have a nuclear program with peaceful goals only and say they enrich uranium only for power generation.

However, Western power believe that Tehran is very close to achieving the level of enrichment necessary to develop a nuclear warhead. In recent months, Trump has sought a diplomatic solution with Iran to prevent the construction of the bomb in the country. However, both sides did not reach an agreement.

The US wants Iran to completely abandon any nuclear program. Iran, however, says it has the right to have at least one peaceful nuclear program. Trump gave a 60 days to make this happen. One day after the end of this period, Israel made an attack. Some say that the offensive was coordinated between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Now, Trump wishes Iran’s full surrender and even implied that he could kill the Supreme Iranian leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – although it was noteworthy that this would not be an immediate action. In addition, in recent days, Americans have mobilized equipment and planes for the Middle East. This indicates that US direct participation in conflict is a real possibility.
