Will America go to war with Iran?

Israel has launched what it has described as “limited, localized and targeted ground raids” in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah’s deputy leader says they’re ready for a ground offensive. It comes as more than 1,000 people have been killed in the past two weeks in Lebanon.

Could they be heading for all-out war? Is it possible that Iran and the US will be sucked into the conflict too? With tensions between Israel and the US on the rise, what will the next few weeks look like — and is there a chance Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah open the way to strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities?

Professor John Mearsheimer joins Freddy to discuss what’s next for Israel, and the geopolitical implications.
