The documentary “Remaking the Middle East: The U.S., Israel & Iran” examines the origins and consequences of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.

The US and Israeli military actions against Iran in February 2026 have escalated into a potential global conflict, adversely affecting the world economy.

The power of weapons is evident. A country that spends nearly $200 billion annually on defense, invests around $200 million daily, and, at least in theoretical terms, has the best army in the world, should be able to impose its will.
