Iran is a major regional power in the Middle East, known for its theocratic government and its network of allied armed groups, collectively referred to as the Axis of Resistance.
These groups, which include Hezbollah and Hamas, are committed to countering the influence of Iran's rivals in the region.
Iran's adversaries include the United States and Israel, which have long opposed Iran's nuclear program and its support for these groups.
In February 2026, the United States and Israel attacked Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and targeting nuclear and military infrastructure.
Iran and its adversaries have conflicting interests rooted in decades of mutual hostility.
Iran has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel, while Israel and the United States view Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional proxies as existential threats.
The February 2026 attack escalated tensions, prompting Iran to announce retaliatory strikes.
The conflict is further complicated by Iran's alliances with Russia and China, which have condemned the attacks and previously shielded Tehran from punitive international resolutions.
