Eye for Iran | Ep 11| Iran and Israel playing ‘chicken' amid ratcheting nuclear threat

While Iran and Israel remain on the knife edge of all-out war, the two adversaries appear to be playing ‘chicken’, according an international relations expert speaking on this week’s episode of Eye for Iran. The tension between the two countries comes in the backdrop of the highest threat to regional stability. Tehran, long suspected by Israel to have ambition of obtaining nuclear arms, is planning to test nuclear bomb detonators, according to exclusive reporting by Iran International. University of Waterloo Political Scientist Professor Bessma Momani tells Eye for Iran podcast that this is part of a psychological warfare by Iran to show Israel that there's a price to pay for the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last month. But in this tit-for-tat, mistakes can happen, said Momani, that could edge us closer to regional war.  #israel #iran #israelhamaswar
