18:49Now PlayingThe war between Israel and Iran has been building for decades and now it’s spiralling out of control - but how did we get to this point?
[Subscribe]
The new phase of this conflict began on June 13 with a huge wave of Israeli strikes on Iran, dealing damaging blows to Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and taking out key scientific and military personnel.
Iran’s response has been to fire missile and drone barrages, with some Israeli leaders speaking openly about regime change in Tehran.
But the threat of war between Israel and Iran has hung over the Middle East for more than forty years.
We take a closer look at the history between the two countries and some of the key events and alliances that help explain why Israel and Iran are at war, and why the outcome of the conflict ultimately comes down to Donald Trump and the USA.
