COMMENTARY MAGAZINE: The latest issue features ‘IRANAMOK’ – ISRAEL HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS FOR A GENERATION.

by Jonathan Schanzer

America and Israel are at war with Iran, a fact that should be neither shocking nor surprising. Both countries have been targeted by the Islamic Republic since its inception in 1979.

Both nations battled Iran for 12 days last year; Israel targeted nuclear assets and other key military targets, paving the way for a crescendo of American strikes that hammered Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
