Chaos in the Middle East: What's the History Behind Israel-Iran Battle?

from Newsmakers · host CBN News

What's the history behind Israel's current battle against Iran — and why does it matter? Dr. Glen Duerr, chair of history and government and professor of international studies at Cedarville University, joins CBN News to explain what's different about the current crisis and to offer a historical backdrop. "Clearly, something has changed in the minds of the leaders of Mossad, the rough equivalent of the CIA in Israel," Duerr said of Israel's decision to attack Iran Thursday. "And, as such, they have chosen to really act — and swiftly."
