NPRSaturday, June 28, 2025 at 7:00:36 AM
This piece dives into the decades-long, high-stakes tug-of-war between Iran and the U.S., tracing the roots of their conflict from the 1979 revolution up to today’s tense standoffs. It’s not just about bombs and bullets—cyberattacks, proxy battles, and diplomatic chess moves all play a part. Think of it as a shadow war that keeps flaring into the open, with both sides locked in a cycle of retaliation and distrust.
Editor’s Note: If you’ve ever wondered why Iran and the U.S. can’t seem to quit their feud, this story connects the dots. It’s not just history—it’s a live wire affecting global security, oil prices, and even your social media feed (hello, cyberwarfare). Understanding this rivalry helps explain everything from Middle East chaos to why world leaders keep holding their breath over the next escalation.
