Israel, Iran and the U.S.: Exploring the Strategic Relationship

Trita Parsi, President, National Iranian American Council

With talk of the Iranian nuclear threat heating up, tension between Iran and Israel is dangerously high and the risk of a war involving the United States looms. In his new book, Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States, Parsi describes the Israeli- Iranian rivalry of the 1990s as well as the strained Iranian–American relationship since the overthrow of the Shah. Drawing on extensive personal interviews with key policy players in all three countries, Dr. Parsi examines the strategic and geopolitical tensions feeding the growing conflict between Iran and Israel.
