61(13), Mar 28, 2026: p.10-12 The United States involvement in the Iran war—fought at Israel’s behest and on false pretexts—has brought the question of Israeli dominance over American foreign policy from the political fringes into the mainstream discourse. The Israeli lobby, operating through elite networks embedded within the highest levels of the American foreign policy establishment, has systematically shaped US strategic priorities in Israel’s favour. A growing section of American conservatives, paradoxically more than the progressive left, is now actively challenging the stranglehold of Israeli strategic interests over American grand strategy.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/13/strategic-affairs/asset-liability.html Economic & Political Weekly 260429
