The new Ayatollah shares not only a name and a bloodline with his assassinated father - but also the hardline views that America and Israel are sworn enemies and weakness and chaos in the region makes its neighbors easier to control. It’s therefore no surprise, under current circumstances, that Israel says it will kill the new Ayatollah - and the one after that.But many people are still struggling to answer the two prerequisite questions: Why is the US at war? And why does it have to be now? Professor Jeffrey Sachs, a senior advisor to the United Nations, was recently caught on film confronting ambassador Danny Danon about Israel’s ‘suicide’ mission - and they both join Piers Morgan to give their view on the escalating situation. Piers also speaks to former IDF international spokesman Doron Spielman, former Israeli negotiator and president of the US/Middle East Peace Project, Daniel Levy, ‘Provoked’ author Scott Horton and Tehran University’s Dr Foad Izadi.
