Abstract

With the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in February 1978, the strategic alliance between Iran and the Israeli regime came to an end. The severance of Iran's relations with the Israeli regime and the positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards the international system, and especially the Israeli regime, caused fundamental changes in the regime's attitude and foreign policy towards Iran. The purpose of this study is to examine the roots of the confrontation between the two countries and Israel's foreign policy towards Iran. To examine this issue, the "Copenhagen Security School" has been considered as the theoretical framework of this research. The key question in this article is what was Israel's foreign policy towards the Islamic Republic of Iran and how? The research method in this article has been done using library and descriptive-analytical sources. The results of this study show that Israel's approach to the Islamic Republic of Iran has faced a special trend based on the two characteristics of "continuity" and "change" is significant. The Islamic Revolution has been studied. Israel sees Iran's nuclear program as a catalyst that, by magnifying its Iranophobia and non-peaceful nature, has increased international sanctions and pressure on Iran, posing it as a major threat to its national security and existence.
