The Iran-Israel Conflict and the U.S. Government's Role
In the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel and the start of the war in Gaza, confrontations between Israel and Iran escalated from proxy battles to direct strikes and all-out war.
FRONTLINE’s new documentary, Remaking the Middle East: Israel vs. Iran, traces the decades of hostility between two of the region’s most powerful actors and the ongoing impact.
“The balance of power has changed dramatically,” Middle East expert Vali Nasr says in the trailer for the documentary, which airs on PBS and online starting July 29.
Through the documentaries below, explore the evolution of the balance of power over the past five decades, Israel and Iran’s leaders and their dueling ambitions for the Middle East, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its human toll, and the role of the United States.
