Israel views Iran's nuclear ambitions as a direct threat to its existence, while Iran sees Israeli actions as part of a broader effort to dominate the region.
This complex dynamic was further complicated in 2018 when US President Donald Trump withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal.
