What exactly is going on between Israel and Iran?

<h3>What exactly is going on between Israel and Iran?</h3>

Can someone explain what exactly the underlying conflict is between Iran and Israel? I know about all the recent stories and the potential global crisis that could ensue should Iran attack Israel, but what is the actual conflict about and how long has it be going on? Thanks!
Okay frostitue, I want the generally accepted consensus. Don't delve too far into conspiracy, I just want something along the lines of what a reporter in Israel would tell the public.
