In this interview with The Majalla, Stephen Walt provides crucial insight into Iran’s regional ambitions. With history as his guide, Walt’s perspective serves to calm the alarmist within us while opening our minds to different points of view. Still loyal to the balance of power theory, Walt argues that when leaders have forgotten about the importance of this approach in politics, they’ve tended to get into trouble.

No where in the United States. They even have some buildings on it. What a deal!
