Why Israel and Iran are enemies | Mapped Out

One can learn so much information from this video, except "the real reason behind the conflict between Iran and Israel".

"He wrote several books on a particular topic in two languages. So he really knows what he's talking about..." , This is the most superficial thing I've heard in a while. What an insult to the audience's intelligence.

"He wrote numerous books, in English and Farsi... so he really knows what he's talking about." 😂😂😂 Yeah okay.

14th of April 2024 - This aged badly

I love the way it starts by jumping from 1948 to 1979, completely ignoring the US/UK coup of 1953, the seminal event in the history of modern Iran, on which everting in today's Middel East has pivioted. Jesus ! This passes for journalism ???

"He wrote several books on a particular topic in two languages. So he really knows what he's talking about..." Idk, is that really the way you do your research? Because my prof would have my head for such a statement.

Incredibly, you did not mention the recent agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia brokered by China that led even to an exchage of ambassadors and put and end to Iran's isolation, nor did you mention Syria position nor the fact that Israel owns 100-200 nuclear bombs. More, you reported and used the US and EU definitions of IRAN as they were "the truth", while they're obviously negative. So your storytelling is very partial, in my opinion.

thanks very much for uploading

So.. What was the "real reason"? I somehow missed that.

This video is not good enough to explain how much the issue is complicated. The Israelis-Iranian relationship is far more complex than this document briefly mentioned. For example, the Israeli ambassador to South Korea once said to Koreans "One day, we will have a peaceful relationship with Iran, I am sure. For we have no issue or argument with Iran as a country. Maybe around that time, the Korean peninsula would be united." The Israeli diplomat might have lied to Koreans, but I believe this comment shows that the Israeli foreign policy establishment sees their relationship with Iran in a multi-dimensional way. And Iranians are not as simple and homogeneous as this video describes. They have a sophisticated and institutionalised governance system. Some may be religious and ideological but others must be practical and competitive. That is why the Iranian regime managed to survive even though there was and is a lot of pressure to destroy it. To sum up, my point is this: do not underestimate how far both Israelis and Iranians are capable and how complicated each of their internal societies are. It's not that much simple. If it were, it would have been much easier to deal with this issue.

This is not what I expected from this video, seems it's trying to manufacture consent for something against Iran, putting all the blame on them

Two formerly friendly countries turned into enemies. We pray for peace.

As an Iranian I would like to thank DW for its comprehensive report on this. However one thing that was not mentioned in this report was the internal problems within Iran as there have been many bloody protests and riots against the government within Iran over the last two years, so other than the fact that the current government has been trying to spend billions of dollars to fund its ideological goals, it has also been trying to use this conflict in the region as a means of distraction and diverting the attention of people from real internal issues facing the country.

Whatever you say... The conflict between two is only 1)religion 2)religion 3)religion

The ending didn't age well... :(

Thanks for the information,

You never actually explain why? Just how it happened?

I hope Iranians will one day be free of their awful government.

Wonderful information! Thanks!

I loved this show❤good job DW
