The modern conflict between Iran and Israel isn’t just about politics, nuclear weapons, or territory.
It’s much older. Much deeper.
Over 2,500 years ago, these two nations were not enemies — they were allies.
When the Jewish people were exiled by Babylon, it was Cyrus the Great of Persia (modern-day Iran) who allowed them to return and rebuild Jerusalem.
The Bible even calls Cyrus a “Messiah” — an anointed one chosen by God to restore the Jewish nation.
But as empires fell and new powers rose, everything changed.
Persia became Islamic. Israel was scattered.
And centuries later, the rise of Zionism, the founding of modern Israel in 1948, and the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran turned former friends into bitter enemies.
Since then, the war has moved from the battlefield to the shadows — with proxy wars, cyber attacks, drone strikes, and nuclear threats.
Each side sees the other not just as a rival, but as a symbol of everything they fear.
This is not just a war of weapons.
It’s a war of identity, belief, and memory.
Take a few minutes to watch this video and see the full story — from ancient alliances to modern missiles.
It may change how you see the headlines forever.
