On 13 June of this year, one month ago, Israeli forces launched aerial and drone attacks on Iran thus beginning what is now called the Twelve Day War or the Iran-Israel War. The coverage here in the West has focussed on whether the bombing has been successful, but is there a strategic goal in place that takes into account Iran’s strategy?
Perhaps, but my guest today is Vali Nasr who has written a new book, Iran’s Grand Strategy: A Political History, which is both timely, and unusual in that it seeks to examine Iran’s Islamic regime from its own point of view, and so not through our Western lens. We discuss the events that have moulded the Iran at loggerheads with Israel and the US today.
