As Iranian missiles strike military, residential and economic targets in neighboring Gulf states, we speak to Al Jazeera's senior political analyst Marwan Bishara in Doha, Qatar. Bishara says Iran's targeting of U.S. allies in the region may be an Iranian calculation that there is "a cost to be paid for American interests" as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other regional powers are forced to respond to an "Israeli war of choice." Meanwhile, says Bishara, the U.S. has learned "nothing" from its own history. Not only has the Trump administration "repeated every single false pretext the Bush administration carried or diffused to justify the war against Iraq," but "this threatens to be a far worse war in its implication for American long-term security and for the stability in the region … It's like the American government [is] addicted to international violence, to wars, to assassinations, to launching those hegemonic wars that they [cannot] end."
