The recent exchange of missile strikes between Iran, Israel, and the US is a symptom of a deeper conflict rooted in historical grievances, regional power struggles, and the ongoing impact of US foreign policy in the Middle East. To understand Iran's military response, it is essential to consider the country's strategic interests, the role of proxy forces, and the influence of regional actors. This complex dynamic is shaped by a history of US intervention and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
