Its times like these when you should be VERY aware of your own programming.
Who wants to ask Chat GPT the same question about USA & Israel? I doubt you will fit the answer on one page. LOL
In the last 50 years (1975–2025), Iran has not launched a full-scale invasion of any country. However, it has been involved in several regional conflicts and proxy wars. Here's a summary of Iran’s direct and indirect military activities:
No Full-Scale Invasions
Iran has not invaded another sovereign nation in the traditional military sense since at least the 18th century, including the last 50 years.
Conflicts and Military Engagements
1. Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988)
Initiator: Iraq (under Saddam Hussein) invaded Iran.
Iran’s role: Defensive at first; later launched counter-offensives into Iraqi territory.
Not considered an invasion by Iran, since it was a response to aggression.
2. Support for Proxy Groups
Iran has supported several non-state actors in other countries, leading to indirect involvement in regional conflicts:
Lebanon: Supports Hezbollah militarily and financially since the 1980s.
Syria: Supported Bashar al-Assad’s regime during the Syrian Civil War (from 2011), including deploying Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces.
Iraq: Supported Shia militias after the 2003 U.S. invasion and during the fight against ISIS.
Yemen: Allegedly backs the Houthi rebels in the Yemeni civil war.
Palestinian Territories: Supports groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
3. Naval Skirmishes and Attacks
Strait of Hormuz incidents: Clashes with U.S., U.K., and other navies; seizing of oil tankers.
