Jeremy Corbyn: Is Britain being pulled into a US war?| UpFront

The war on Iran enters another week, with Israel, the US, and Iran striking key energy infrastructure, raising questions about global supply.

Robert Malley on war in Iran: “Donald Trump is nervous” | UpFront

The United States and Israel have often portrayed themselves as secular democracies fighting against a theocratic Islamic regime in Iran. But as the war against Iran continues to escalate, US leaders have spoken of a biblical duty to defend Israel, military commanders have referenced divine destiny, and Israeli leaders continue to cite biblical claims to territory. So why is this religious rhetoric resurfacing now?

This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with author and Professor of American Studies and International Affairs at George Washington University Melani McAlister, and rabbi and Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at Harvard Divinity School Shaul Magid on what happens when faith, nationalism and politics collide on the global stage.
