Israel and the US’s current war on Iran has been a long time in the making. Palestine Deep Dive’s Ahmed Alnaouq and Matt Kennard discuss the history of regime change efforts and why Tehran has been such a problem for Washington and Tel Aviv.

They discuss the history of Israel’s secret nuclear weapons program which began in the 1950s, and the evolution of the Begin Doctrine after Israel’s strike on the Iraqi reactor at Osirak in 1981.

They also talk about the fact that no evidence exists that Iran has a nuclear weapons program while Israel’s is widely-known documented - and the absurdity of the fact that Iran signed up to the Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1970, but Israel is one of only four countries which has always refused.
