The Israel lobby's decades-long influence over American Middle East policy is facing unprecedented public scrutiny, Mondoweiss reported. The questioning has intensified amid opposition to potential military action against Iran, with observers arguing the lobby has historically steered Washington toward regional conflicts including Iraq.
