From the volatile fault lines of the Middle East, a dangerous new chapter has unfolded as the confrontation between Israel and Iran up-ends the region's delicate balance.

The big question is whether the US will enter the fray to assist their ally Israel.

Guest: Farnaz Fassihi, New York Times United Nations bureau chief and Iran specialist

Recommendations:

Geraldine: 'Will the U.S join Israel's war with Iran', The Daily podcast from the New York Times
