Tensions in the Middle East are sky-high as Israel unleashed what it called “preemptive strikes” on Iran – in what experts warn could fuel a broader nuclear arms race.
Iranian-American academic and policy adviser Vali Nasr speaks to Prem Thakker – and they break down everything you need to know about the conflict.
With regards to the region and the Arab world, Nasr says: “If Israel crushes Iran, then basically the Arabs would have to deal with an Israeli superpower. Arabs were not happy with Iranian hegemony… I don’t think they’re comfortable with Israel also becoming an unquestionable military power in the region.”
