I know we discussed this for a few minutes on chat and iirc you told me to find out why the date was 2005 before the chat turned into an argument about holocaust denial.

Anyways, the Wikipedia page start date (3 august 2005) is the exact date of the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran.

However as you can see from the seven sources I cited in the old revision history, this election does not mark the beginning of the proxy conflict, as Iran has been using Hezbollah as a proxy to fight against Israel since 1985, during the rule of Iranian president Ali Khamenei.

Can you stop reverting now?
