This is a comprehensive work on the long-standing yet ever changing relationship between Israel and Iran. It draws on the experience and first-hand accounts of those individuals involved in Israeli-Iranian relations before and after the 1979 arrival of Khomeini in Tehran. It studies this relationship against the complex background of Middle East politics. Sobbani interviews many former Iranian officials and reveals new information explaining why Iran and Israel act the way they do and why their interests have converged over the last 40 years. The book traces the principal trends in the emergence of the relationship between the two countries and identifies the main factors leading to both continuity and change in their relations. Organized in chronological order, "The Pragmatic Entente" concludes with a discussion of future Israeli-Iranian relations, examining the reasons why the Tehran-Tel Aviv axis will continue to be an enduring feature of the Middle Eastern power configuration.
