Israel, the United States and Iran seem to be enemies that nothing can reconcile today. Should we consider their history as the chronicle of a war foretold? 

Retracing the history of the very particular relations that link these three countries, from the Iranian revolution of 1979 until today, this 2×52 minute film, deciphers an undeclared war for some forty years. This long war contributes powerfully to the multiple and incessant local conflicts (Lebanon wars, relations with the Palestinians, Syria, the nuclear issue) that tear the Middle East apart.
