Konfrontasi Iran-Israel dalam Perspektif Realisme Klasik

Abstract

The escalation of the conflict between Israel and Palestine can be called Hamas from day to day. The escalation turned out to involve another country, namely Iran as one of the countries in the Middle East that has strong military defense resources. As a Muslim and threatened by Israeli actions in Palestine, there were also several defiant statements issued by the Israeli authorities that eventually made Iran directly involved in the war that occurred between Palestine and Israel. This is not only the issue of Islam as a causal factor, but Israel tends and often conducts political confrontations with Iran, so that the country is directly involved. Israel's military's notoriously strong defenses were finally rendered powerless by hundreds of rockets launched from Tehran. Tel Aviv was finally devastated by the attack. This proves that Iran's national interests are being directly disturbed by Israel, so the action of Iran is an active reaction to the problem. The national interest is one of the important elements in the approach and theory of classical realism in politics and international relations. Thus, it can be an analytical knife if the theory is used.
