The Israel-Iran Threat

Binyamin Netanyahu, Israels prime minister, was in
Washington this week to urge Barack Obama, the US president,
to take a stronger position on Irans nuclear ambitions
amid concerns of a possible Israeli air raid against targets
inside the Persian country.

What would be the consequences for Iraq, if such an attack
is carried out? Would Iraq become a theater for military
retaliation by Iran?

Our guests this week are Phyllis Bennis, director of New
Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy
Studies, and Tehran Seyed Mohammad Marandi, the
head of North American Studies at Tehran University.
