Episode Notes:

In her article for War on the Rocks, Farah Jan wrote about how the structure of the U.S.-Israeli alliance shaped the decision to go to war with Iran. Kerry talks with Farah about how a blank check for a junior member of an alliance can drag its more powerful ally into war — including historical examples, the nature of the current U.S.-Israeli relationship, and what Washington can do to better manage its alliances and interests in the future.
