“Iran-Israel Conflict 2025: Is the Third World War near ?”

Tensions between Iran and Israel have existed for decades. Now, during the Aliya conflict in the year 2025, tensions between Iran and Israel are increasing rapidly. This has increased the fear that the Middle East is moving towards a major war in the global scenario. The entire region is standing at the brink of crisis due to increasing proxy attacks, missile attacks and sharp political statements from both countries. The increasing tension between the two countries can take any form at any time. Can the increasing hostility between the two countries turn into a major regional or global conflict? Know in detail

Background of Iran-Israel enmity

The enmity between Israel and Iran is not new. The dispute between Israel and Iran is decades old. The ideological and strategic confrontation between the two countries has been going on since the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Actually, Iran is a Shia-dominated country. Iran never considers Israel as a country, it opposes its existence.  Iran supports terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas (which Israel considers terrorists). While Israel is a Jewish country, it considers Iran's nuclear ambitions and growing influence a threat to its existence. Israel thinks that if Iran acquires nuclear weapons, it will be harmful for it in the future and Iran can prove to be a very big threat to it in the future.

Recent developments in 2025

Recently in early 2025, Israel carried out air strikes on an Iranian military base in Syria, in response to which Iran-backed militia groups carried out drone and missile attacks on Israeli bases. Disruptions in oil transportation were also seen in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman. This was an early 2025 development.

In March 2025, a cyber attack took place on Israel's critical infrastructure. Israel attributed Iran's role in this attack. Israel said that Iranian hackers had carried out this cyber attack. In response, Israel responded strongly militarily and diplomatically and protested against it in a very harsh manner.  And warned that if the attacks continue, decisive action will be taken. Which will prove to be very fatal for Iran

Global reactions and diplomatic activities

America : America has always appealed to both sides to exercise restraint, but America has continued military and political support to Israel as always. America always supports Israel. America is also with Israel on the issue of Iran. There are also many American military bases in this region. Which have been kept on alert by America. America is really worried that Iran may attack its place.

Russia and China : Both Russia and China have appealed to reduce tensions. But China has not openly come in favor of Iran. While Russia has very good relations with Iran. China has offered mediation under its Belt and Road framework. But only time will tell in which direction this statement of China will take.

European Union: European countries are worried about oil prices and possible refugee crisis. If the tension between Iran and Israel remains forever. Then oil prices will increase. Which can affect the world economy.  And the European Union is also worried about the influx of refugees. Because there is a lot of tension in Iran and Gujarat and it turns towards some incident. So there will always be a crisis in the coming times.

United Nations : In view of the recent tension between Iran and Israel, an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council was held in April 2025, but due to the veto by America, no concrete solution to this problem could be found. This problem still remains the same.

Possible scenarios of 2025

Limited conflict : Limited conflicts always remain dormant between Iran and Israel. Sporadic clashes and proxy attacks continue between both Iran and Israel. But there is no direct war, till now there has been no direct war between Iran and Israel.

Regional war : Due to tension between Iran and Israel, countries like Lebanon, Syria and Iraq also get drawn into the war and the entire Middle East becomes disturbed. Because these countries are Israel's neighboring countries.  The impact of the tension between these two countries also increases on these countries

Global impact : If the tension between Iran and Israel does not reduce, then the oil supply can be disrupted all over the world. And many international sanctions can be imposed on both the countries. Imposing sanctions can increase the crisis of refugees in the region.

India's strategy and concern

India has always had strong relations with both Iran and Israel. On one hand, India's defense, cyber security and intelligence cooperation with Israel is important, while on the other hand Chabahar port, oil import and strategic balance with Iran are important.

India has appealed to both the countries for restraint and has urged all parties to maintain peace. Any major war can increase oil prices. And millions of Indians living in Gulf countries can be affected. Due to which Indians can also suffer economic loss.

Conclusion 

The escalating tensions between Iran and Israel in 2025 have brought the Middle East to a dangerous tipping point. With increasing proxy warfare, cyber attacks, and international involvement, the situation remains volatile. While global powers like the U.S., Russia, China, and the EU are attempting to manage the crisis through diplomacy, the threat of a wider regional or even global conflict cannot be ruled out. For countries like India, maintaining strategic balance and advocating for peace is crucial to safeguard national interests and global stability. Only time will tell whether diplomacy will prevail or the region will plunge into deeper chaos.
