Israel and Iran rivalry is not new and dates around decades as Iranian leadership under Khomeini declared Israel an illegitimate state, and the rivalry came under the limelight after the tragic death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
As late Ebrahim Raisi was known for his anti-west rhetoric, social media sites are abuzz with speucaltions that the death of Iran’s President was an assassination orchestrated by Iran’s arch-enemy, Israel.
European Parliament’s former member Nick Griffin hinted Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad, citing reasons beyond the ongoing tensions between Gaza, Hezbollah, Iran, and Tel Aviv. He pointed to the recent opening of the Qiz Qalasi hydroelectric dam on the Iran-Azerbaijan border as a symbol of improved relations, which could potentially defuse tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Griffin highlighted Israel’s profit from selling weapons used in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, where Iran supported Armenia.
