| Summary/Abstract |
Iran-Israel relations have lifted from close ties between Iran and Israel during the phase of the Pahlavi dynasty to hostility since the Revolution and ending of Gulf war. The most contentious issue of the Iranian-Israeli conflict is Iran’s nuclear project. The Israeli fear of an Iranian version of a “final solution” might push Israel to launch a preemptive strike against Iran. However, just one blow might not be enough, considering the various measures Iran implemented in order to protect her nuclear setup. Israel should therefore be ready for a long struggle, in which the rear of both sides would be hit. Israel could be part of a vast anti-Iranian coalition, including Arab states that are also on alert, fearing Iran’s ambitions, particularly after losing Iraq as their shield.
