IRAN
The roots is the rivalry that emerged after Khomeini's death as the ayatollah found the use of nuclear technology un-Islamic. The Israelis promised the US not to be first to be a nuclear power by signing the Atoms For Peace Accord. However, they broke the promise by secretly building a second nuclear reactor with the help of the French. The Israelis managed to have the first nuclear weapon in the 1960. Iran That changed when in 1979 Islamic Republic referendum, in which 98% of Iranian voters approved the country's shift to an Islamic republic, the new government began efforts to draft the present-day Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran; Ayatollah Khomeini emerged as the Supreme Leader of Iran in December 1979. Iran began with its nuclear program nearly 20 years after the Israelis had their first nuclear warhead.

SYRIA ( ISRAELI ATTACKS )
The roots is the rivalry that emerged after Khomeini's death as the ayatollah found the use of nuclear technology un-Islamic. The Israelis promised the US not to be first to be a nuclear power by signing the Atoms For Peace Accord. However, they broke the promise by secretly building a second nuclear reactor with the help of the French. The Israelis managed to have the first nuclear weapon in the 1960. Iran That changed when in 1979 Islamic Republic referendum, in which 98% of Iranian voters approved the country's shift to an Islamic republic, the new government began efforts to draft the present-day Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran; Ayatollah Khomeini emerged as the Supreme Leader of Iran in December 1979. Iran began with its nuclear program nearly 20 years after the Israelis had their first nuclear warhead.
