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.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump says the US had no prior knowledge of Israel’s attack on the South Pars gasfield, though that claim is being questioned.

So what comes next? And how far could this conflict escalate?

This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with former US Special Envoy for Iran, and one of the lead negotiators of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, Robert Malley.

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.

The United States has once again found itself drawn into a major conflict in the Middle East, this time with Iran.

But a key question is now being debated: who pushed Washington into this conflict?

Israel has played a central role in encouraging a confrontation with Tehran, warning that Iran poses an existential threat, and has urged Washington to take stronger action to stop its nuclear ambitions.

But how much influence does Israel really have over US foreign policy, and did it help shape the decision to confront Iran militarily?

This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with political scientist John Mearsheimer.
