Covert operations, explosions, and cyberattacks: Israel and Iran are at the center of an endless war.
Israel and Iran are engaged in a protracted war, disguised as isolated attacks and sabotage, targeting senior representatives of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Tehran's nuclear facilities.
Last week, Israel once again attacked Iran's military infrastructure. These actions are just another addition to the long list of previous attacks that Israel has been accused of or has been proven to have carried out. In recent years, many senior officers of the Guards Corps have been killed in various attacks, most of which occurred outside Iran. One of the latest victims was a general who fought alongside Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in the suburbs of Beirut at the end of September.
In the month and year, Israeli airstrikes destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, resulting in the deaths of Iranian military personnel, including two senior officers. Israel has also been linked to the deaths of several Iranian physicists involved in the country's nuclear program. The most notable among them was Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was assassinated in the year. In the year, an ammunition depot explosion led to the death of General Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, the head of the weapons program. Israel and the United States are often accused of carrying out such sabotage activities.
Meanwhile, Israel has been repeatedly suspected of sabotaging Iran's nuclear facilities, particularly the Natanz facility. This facility was the site of a notorious cyber attack in 2010, which caused hundreds of uranium enrichment centrifuges to malfunction, inflicting significant damage to the program.
In the year, another attack led to a small-scale explosion in the same compound. Although Tehran claimed the incident was an act of sabotage, it is believed that Israel was also behind it. Israel's destructive actions are not limited to airstrikes and cyber-attacks. In the year, the Israeli military was accused of attacking an Iranian oil tanker en route to Syria, damaging the vessel with mines.
This long-standing conflict, developing behind the scenes on the international stage, continues to escalate, affecting an increasing number of Iran's supporters and leaving a trail of attacks and destruction that has pushed regional tensions to new heights, potentially leading to further deterioration of the situation in Iran.
