Israel to Iran visa requirements

No. An Israeli ordinary passport holder cannot travel to Iran. Iran has no diplomatic relations with Israel, does not recognize the State of Israel, and refuses entry and transit to all Israeli citizens. There is no tourist visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival channel available to Israeli passport holders, and no Iranian diplomatic mission exists in Israel to issue one. Iran does not admit holders of Israeli ordinary passports under any visa category. Since 1979 Iran has severed all ties with Israel and classifies it as an enemy state. Iranian admission rules explicitly refuse entry and transit to citizens of Israel, even in transit without leaving the aircraft. Iran additionally bars any traveler of any nationality whose passport contains an Israeli visa or entry/exit stamp less than 365 days old, or any indication of a connection to Israel. There is no Iranian embassy or consulate in Israel, Iran's eVisa system is not open to Israeli nationals, and no visa-on-arrival is available to them. For an Israeli passport holder this route is effectively closed: not merely visa-required but inadmissible. Travelers seeking comparable destinations should consider routes where Israeli passports enjoy visa-free or eVisa access instead.
