America, Iran and Israel: A Wider War? | Bigger Than Five

A dangerous game is unfolding as Israel, the US, and Iran stand at the brink of a potentially devastating regional war. What are the key factors driving this recent escalation?

We speak with US army veteran James Carafano, from the conservative Heritage Foundation, who says America’s military buildup in the Middle East is aimed at deterrence.
