History of the conflict between US, Israel and Iran is not new. Since the so called Islamic revolution of Iran of 1979 these states are at daggers drawn. The age old animosity of the states is fresh and unresolved. The common people or layman has been continuously made fool since then. It might be that in the beginning the USA and Israel would have reservations but with the passage of time they understood one another and did no harm any of the party except empty threats. World felt that the days are not far when the Americans are going to attack Iran, but these were only misconceptions. A few incidents can be quoted as the clash between the states but afterwards these appeared just bluffing.

Overtly the two powers USA and Israel are deadly against the very existence of Iran but it is not the factual position. The history of both the countries clearly reveals that the super powers of the world and the super power of the Middle East are in complete harmony with Iran. No doubt they include its name in the rogue states list or obnoxious triangle with North Korea etc. but do nothing that is really against the interest of Iran. They threat Iran of bad consequences but no body in the world can cite even a single incident that is against the fundamental interest of Iran. There are economic sanctions against Iran but only by the USA. All the European countries even the closest ally England does usual business with Iran. On the contrary Iraq and Afghanistan are hit by the sanctions but in real terms. America compelled the whole world to ostracize the countries from the comity of the nations. World is hearing since long that Israel and America are going to attack Iran but this always looks true only in the media. All the threats and ostensible dangers of war against Iran are nothing more than the war of the words. Americans call Iran the enemy state along with Israel and Iran reply in the same coins. The US and Israeli officials leave the horses of straw to defeat the paper tigers of Iran. It is quite clear that all this bickering is only strategic. They have no intention to besiege Iran practically. The American and Israeli lobbies are using the Iran card to intimidate the world and especially the neighbors of Iran .These neighbors include the Arab states including Palestine and Saudi Arabia. They make Iran cat's paw to enhance their policy and interests. They intimidate Iran but target of these threats are some other states, which are to be constantly reminded that they should not cross the limits. A threat to Iran works as a panacea to all the target states and they hide their heads as turtles and creep to their ponds. It is quite true that the threats are mere threats and a tool to advance the strategic interests.Those who believe that Israel USA and Iran are the real enemies are wrong in their understandind.They should cast a cursory glance at the real history of the triangular conflict to undestand the realities behind the clash.Iran Israel and America are not enemies but are throwing dust into the eyes of the world as well thier people.Those who think that they are enemies live in the fool,s paradise.Since the very first day of revolution all the three countries reached an understanding to befool the world.The leadre of the countries deem it better to pretend hatred for eahother to get the sympathies of the people of the middle east and their own publics.
