Iran and Israel: The Politics of War

Israel and Iran have already been trading covert punches and the overheated rhetoric on both sides raises the potential for further escalation.

How do domestic political concerns inside Israel and Iran shape their relationship and the chance of war? Does Israel?s perception of the Iranian threat put it at odds with Washington?
