Was the Iran war to establish Israel's control over the Middle East?
Political scientist Vali Nasr warns that the US 'doesn't have a regime change option' in Iran. Direct US involvement in Israel's unprovoked attack on Iran was a dangerous decision, argues Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East history at Johns Hopkins University. Hours before a ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran was announced, Nasr told host Steve Clemons that 'the US doesn't have a regime change option in Iran' and should be wary of humiliating Tehran, which would lead to long-term consequences. Nasr argues that the 12-Day War was meant to establish Israel's dominance as the premier Middle East power, backed by Washington, with no room for challengers.

Will Iran double down on its nuclear programme after the war?
The Bottom Line Iran expert Trita Parsi on the fallout of Israel's unprovoked 12-day war against Iran and implications for Gaza. United States President Donald Trump can force Israel to end the war on Gaza if he shows the same gumption as he did with Iran, argues Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Parsi discusses the wider implications of the 12-day war on Iran with host Steve Clemons, including: Will Iran double down on its nuclear weapons programme? Will improved Iran-US relations lead to sanctions relief? Why did European leaders legitimise the unprovoked US and Israeli attacks, instead of calling for the 'rules-based order' as they do in Ukraine? Does Iran have allies?
