| Sponsored by the University of California Press It has now been two and a half weeks since Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu started a war in Iran for a shifting and contradictory set of reasons, which seem to elude the president in any case. Other than murdering hundreds of Iranian civilians and bringing another Khamenei into power, Fintan O’Toole wonders in the Review’s March 13 issue, what is the point of this violence?
And in the NYR Online this week, Amir Ahmadi Arian and Orly Noy write about those awful human consequences, and about watching powerlessly from afar—from the United States and Israel, respectively—as their homeland is devastated by cruel imperial whims. Below, alongside O’Toole’s, Arian’s, and Noy’s essays, are other recent pieces on the war in Iran. Fintan O’Toole |
