Fears of a global war is one of the questions addressed by Col Sarit Zehavi, the founder of the Alma Centre, in this interview with Chris Steyn.

Col Zehavi further comments on Iran's nuclear capabilities; the likelihood of another country using a nuclear weapon agains the Iranian regime; the attacks by Iran on other countries in the Middle East; America's likely staying power in this war; the barrage of attacks on Tel Aviv, the renewed war with Hezbollah - as well as South Africa's support for Iran.
