This article analyzes the shifting dynamics of Iranian-Israeli relations, focusing on the transition from cooperative ties before the 1979 Iranian Revolution to the antagonistic stance that followed. Initially, under the Pahlavi regime, Iran and Israel shared diplomatic and economic connections, driven by mutual interests in regional stability. However, the revolution marked a turning point, embedding ideological conflict and intensifying geopolitical tensions between the two nations. Using historical data and contemporary analysis, The findings suggest that Iran’s post-revolution ideology has fueled hostilities, while regional conflicts have widened the divide. A regime shift could open pathways for dialogue or further strain relations, depending on evolving priorities. To foster future diplomatic prospects, the article recommends engaging in backchannel diplomacy and utilizing third-party mediators to facilitate understanding and reduce conflict risks in this volatile region.
