On 11 March 2026, I was on Al Jazeera talking about: 1) why the US and Israel are doomed to lose the war in Iran as well as 2) the importance of the Israel lobby in shaping US foreign policy.

John J. Mearsheimer, PhD, is an American professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. More recently Mearsheimer has attracted attention for co-authoring and publishing the article The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, which was subsequently published as a book.
