Las causas y consecuencias del ataque de Irán a Israel del 13 de abril de 2024

Abstract

According to what has been reported by different media throughout the world, Iran’s recent attack on Israel has caused great tension in international relations, especially among some of the Middle East countries. In that regard, since it is a war conflict that can affect international security and stability, it is important to understand the causes of that attack and the possible consequences for world peace and security.

To this end, the investigation will investigate several aspects, namely: the origins of the conflict between Iran and Israel; the recent reasons for the deterioration of relations between the two countries; the direct causes of the attacks of 13 April 2024; and finally, the consequences of these attacks for both the countries involved and the international community close to the site of the attack.

Preliminarily, it can be said that among the triggers of Iran’s attack on Israel in 2024 is, on the one hand, the historical rivalry founded on ideological motives and, on the other, a recent attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus that, in Iran’s view, involved Israel.
