The US president, Donald Trump, said Tuesday that he wants “a true end” for the conflict between Israel and Iran, and not a simple fire, the fire, On the fifth day of open war between these fierce enemies.
The countries They continue to bombard and take warnings in a conflict that already leaves hundreds of dead.

G7 leaders gathered at a summit in Canada requested on Monday a “resolution of the Iranian crisis” that “leads to a decalm broader of hostilities in the Middle East “, in a statement in which they affirmed that Israel “has the right to defend itself.” Iran accused the forum of the seven most industrialized economies of having a biased vision.
But how was the conflict born?
The two countries They have been confronted in a covert war in various countries in the Middle East And some punctual operation, but on Friday Israel launched a large -scale air offensive against Iran.
Israel, informal nuclear power, He affirms that he attacked Iran to prevent atomic weapons, Something that Tehran denies looking.
The Israeli offensive started on June 13 interrupted negotiations between Iran and the United States about Tehran’s nuclear program, that should be subject to new conversations in Oman last Sunday.
“To understand the origin of this confrontation, It is necessary to go back to the creation of the state of Israel, in 1948. It was the result of the Zionist ideology and the colonial project that promoted powers such as the United Kingdom and the United States, “he recalls The Course.
“From the beginning, many countries in the region, including Iran, They showed their rejection of the UN Palestinian Partition Plan, warning about the risk of a escalation of regional violence. Iran advocated a single federal state to guarantee the rights of all the inhabitants, “continues the article.
As the medium stated, in 1953, the United States and the United Kingdom headed a coup d’etat in Iran, in full cold war, in which they would overthrow Mohammad Mosaddeq, Then the Iranian Prime Minister.
After the establishment of the new authorities, Iran not only became an ally of the West, but Israel benefited from the oil production of the Persian country.
This situation changed radically in 1979, underlines The conversation, After the Islamic revolution, which was led by Ayatolá Jomeini, who broke the agency with the USA. And he established a hostile regime against that North American country and against Israel.
Since then, there has been a series of sporadic attacks and verbal encounters among countries.

The Iranian response to Israel was limited: it launched about 300 drones, most of which were intercepted, “says the publication of The conversation.
In July of that year, Israel He also attacked the residence of a political leader of Hamas, Considering a terrorist group, to whom Western countries point out that Iran is giving support.

The American president He also warned Iran that he will use all the force If you attack any objectives or interest of the US.
This Tuesday, Trump asked for the “unconditional surrender” of Iran, Although he says he is not intended to kill his supreme leader, Ayatola Jamenei, “for now”, on the fifth day of war between Israel and the Islamic Republic.
