And as I believe Tree Parsey shows in his book Treacherous Alliance and Gareth Porter in his book Manufactured Crisis, it was the um the Iranians only turned on the uh Israelis after the Israelis had turned on them.
Why people recommend it
Manufactured Crisis by Gareth Porter is a historical non-fiction work examining the geopolitical tensions surrounding Iranian nuclear ambitions and foreign policy interventions. The book has been cited by foreign policy commentators on prominent interview programs to challenge prevailing narratives regarding Middle Eastern conflicts. Scott Horton referenced Gareth Porter's work during an appearance on The Tucker Carlson Show, where he argued alongside other historical analyses that hostilities between Iran and Israel escalated primarily because Israeli policies targeted Iran first. Horton returned to Porter's research during a subsequent appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast, deploying the book to scrutinize official intelligence assessments. Specifically, Horton noted that Porter's investigation demonstrates how the Defense Intelligence Agency arrived at key conclusions regarding the true nature and trajectory of Iranian nuclear research. By highlighting Porter's findings, the podcast guest sought to correct common public misconceptions surrounding international diplomacy, intelligence failures, and the historical escalation of hostilities between regional powers in the Middle East.
