Israeli-Iranian Relations: Historical Perspectives and Future Implications
Join hosts Ellen and Clive as they navigate the convoluted history and current tensions between Iran and Israel in this special episode. We dive into the geopolitical, ideological, and historical factors that have shaped the Iranian-Israeli relationships, providing a comprehensive primer into the roots of the rivalry, analyzing the key periods that have affected this bond, and explaining the significant influences exercised by other global players, including the U.S.
Special attention is given to the impact of US policies under bother former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden, viewpoints from Israel and Iran, and the critical roles that internal politics, public opinion, and Middle East geopolitics have played in bringing the two countries to their current state of mistrust.
Suggested intention
As many commentators say that the relationship between Iran and Israel is at a crossroads, for our suggested focus for intention this week, we suggest that the governments of both countries chose a path that seeks to deescalate the tension between them:
We will that those in positions of influence and power within the Israeli and Iranian governments will be inspired and emboldened to pursue a path of de-escalating tensions between their two nations.
Please join us in holding this.
