Belligerents?

The US and UK actively took part in shooting down Iranian assets [drones, missiles ect] would this not make them a party to the conflict? Rather then just ‘supported by’. What is the distinction between shooting down unmaned aircraft and maned aircraft in being a belligerent. Mlutter1 (talk) 08:40, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

add info in a new section about Israel striking inside iran again to kill a hamas leader

^[1] 173.72.3.91 (talk) 15:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I added a link to the See also section. This only seems tangentially relevant to the article, which is about a series of direct confrontations between Israel and Iran. Haniyeh was targeted as part of the Israel-Hamas war and just happened to be in Iran at the time, but he isn't an Iranian target. If it leads to more direct confrontations between Israel and Iran it might become relevant, but it seems a bit out of scope currently. Jamedeus (talk) 19:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see how it is irrelevant. Sources have described this as someone occurring in the context of the wider conflict between the two states. It is directly in line with it and has been described as an escalation of the ongoing crisi. Drako (talk) 18:03, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commanders and leaders

In the Israeli side of the commanders and leaders sidebar, two people don't belong and should be removed: Issac Herzog is a ceremonial president and has no say in policy whatsoever. Daniel Hagari is the IDF spokesperson and as such also doesn't set policy. The IDF spokesperson is a highly visible position but it is not an influential command position in the IDF. 77.126.55.246 (talk) 09:11, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There was NO mention of the hostages that were taken in the October 7 attack. I think that this fact is vital to understand the difference between this war and others.

Please add into the description of the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas that civilians were taken hostage. Thank you. 147.235.204.180 (talk) 12:53, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Charliehdb (talk) 13:39, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change title to 2024 Iran—Israel confontations

The use of the word “conflict,” while relevant, encompasses a a broad scope of possible engagements, intensities, and continuous high tension. A possible better word would be “confrontations,” plural to reflect the different phases and engagements as well as the intensity of the conflict being below that of war. 35.130.105.90 (talk) 15:14, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
