John J Mearsheimer (born 14 December 1947) is an American political scientist who was a vocal opponent of the 2003 Iraq War. His most controversial views concern the Israel lobby's influence over US government policy, especially with respect to its actions in the Middle East, which are detailed in a 2006 book "The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy", co-authored with Stephen Walt in 2006. The book caused a storm of protest from Jewish organisations.[1] [2] Its publication was preceded by a similarly co-authored article published in the London Review of Books on 23 March 2006 and available on Wikispooks here.[3]

Opinions on Israel/Palestine/Iran
Two State solution
During a presentation to the Palestine Center in Washington on 30 April 2010, Mearsheimer opined that the two-state solution is a “fantasy,” and predicted that the Palestinian territories “will be incorporated into a ‘Greater Israel,’ which will be an apartheid state bearing a marked resemblance to white-ruled South Africa.” This will, in turn, become “a democratic bi-national state, whose politics will be dominated by its Palestinian citizens. In other words, it will cease being a Jewish state, which will mean the end of the Zionist dream.”[4]
Israel's genocide in Gaza
On 24 December 2024, Mearsheimer wrote:

- On 19 December 2024, Human Rights Watch issued a 179-page report detailing Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
- On 5 December 2024, Amnesty International issued a 296-page report detailing Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
- On 21 November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes.
- On 26 January 2024, the International Court of Justice found that a plausible case can be made that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
- Given the West’s presumed commitment to human rights and especially to preventing genocide, one would have expected countries like the United States, Britain, and Germany, to have stopped the Israeli genocide in its tracks.
- Instead, the governments in those three countries, especially the United States, have supported Israel’s unimaginable behaviour in Gaza at every turn. Indeed, those three countries are complicit in this genocide.
- Moreover, almost all of the many human rights advocates in those countries, and in the West more generally, have stayed silent while Israel executed its genocide. The mainstream media has made hardly any effort to expose and challenge what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. Indeed some key outlets have staunchly supported Israel’s actions.
- One wonders what people in the West who have either supported Israel’s genocide or remained silent tell themselves to justify their behaviour and sleep at night.
- History will not treat them kindly.[5]
Attacks on Iran
On 20 June 2025, following the 2025 Israeli attacks on Iran, Judge Napolitano interviewed Mearsheimer:
- AN: Hi everyone, Judge Andrew Napolitano is here for Judging Freedom today on Friday June 20th 2025. Professor John Mearsheimer joins us now fresh from his European trip and speaking tour. Prof. Mearsheimer, it's a pleasure thank you very much for accommodating my schedule and thank you for squeezing us in and what I know has been a hectic week for you. Is Israel prevailing in its war against Iran as the mainstream media is telling everybody in the West?
- JM: No israel is in serious trouble and you know I listened to President Trump not too long ago say that Israel is winning and of course this is the mantra in the mainstream media but the question you have to ask yourself is what does winning mean? It's a meaningless comment by itself and the way you assess whether a country is winning a war is you ask yourself the question what are the goals and what is the strategy that that state has for achieving those goals? Israel has three stated goals here: one is to eliminate the nuclear capability of Iran their ability to produce nuclear weapons and this is all about enrichment; the second goal is regime change; and the third goal, which is articulated by President Trump himself, is unconditional surrender. Of course if you get unconditional surrender that takes care of the first two goals but these are the three goals.
- AN: Then the question you have to ask yourself is what is Israel's theory of victory? Tell us how they're going to do this.
- JM: Well with regard to the first goal, which is eliminating Iran's nuclear capability, it's clear they can't do that by themselves. They admit that and that's why they're begging the United States to come in and Trump is pondering whether to help them. But I would submit that even if Trump comes in we're not going to eliminate Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons then there's the business of regime change we do not have a single recorded example in history of a state causing regime change with an air campaign. Remember we had to invade Iraq to get regime change we couldn't do it from the air and we would have to invade Iran to get regime change and nobody in their right mind is talking about invading Iran. And in terms of unconditional surrender this is a laughable argument, right. We've put the Iranians in a position where we are threatening their very survival as a state they're going to fight to the last person they're not going to submit to unconditional surrender so what you see here is that the Israelis have no way of achieving the goals they've set out for themselves. And even if we come in that's not going to solve the problem. And in the meantime Israel is being pounded with ballistic missiles from Iran. It's running out of its own missiles to knock down those Iranian ballistic missiles, and it's begging the United States to send air defences to the Middle East to help pull the Israelis chestnuts out of the fire. You call this winning, in my world it's called losing.
- AN: So Israel's theory of victory must be Netanyahu begs and the donor class demands that Donald Trump get involved and we start dropping 30,000 pound bombs.
- JM: It doesn't solve the problem right and and the media is full of stories these days showing to you that you know dropping 30,000 pound bombs on Fordow is is just not going to solve the problem. You probably cannot destroy the centrifuges down in the bottom of that mountain that are producing the enriched uranium you just can't do it even with American bombs. But let's assume I'm wrong and you can destroy those centrifuges almost everybody agrees, when you look at how extensive, how comprehensive the Iranian nuclear program is, that they can easily rebuild that program in a year or two and we'll be back to where we started. So there's just no way that even with the United States coming into the fight that we can eliminate Iran's nuclear capability.
- AN: Professor Mearsheimer, President Trump has insisted that Israel owns Iran's sky is there any accuracy to that, that Israel has destroyed Iran's air defences and Israel now controls Iran's sky.
- JM: I don't think so it's very hard to figure out exactly what's happening here in large part because the mainstream media coverage is so terrible but it appears that what has happened here is the Israelis have not penetrated into Iran and destroyed Iran's air defence systems, their groundbased air defences. You remember when the Israelis first attacked this was on June 13th and for about the first two days everybody was puzzled by the fact that the Iranian air defences were just not in the fight. This was really quite amazing so the question is what's happening here my sense is that what the Israelis are doing is they're using cruise, they're using drones and they're firing missiles from places like Iraq into Iran and they're doing all the damage that they're doing. And I don't want to make light of the damage that's being done to Iran with cruise missiles and ballistic missiles and other kinds of missiles that are fired from outside of Iran's border or barely inside Iran's border. But I think the argument that the Israeli air force completely controls the skies over all of Iran is not true you would have needed a big battle, a big air battle against Iranian air defences for this to be the case. The Iranians had significant amounts of assets on the ground that had to be dealt with and there's no evidence that that fight took place so I don't think they control the skies over Iran, that's the Israeli Air Force. But I do think they have the capability to lob missiles into Iran and lob bombs into Iran and put drones in Iran that can do lots of damage.
- AN: Did Israel destroy or damage Iran's oil refineries?
- JM: There has been some of that for sure and the Iranians have done the same to the Israelis. So far the Israelis have limited the amount of damage they've done to Iran's ability to produce oil. I think if the Israelis really unleashed the dogs and they destroyed Iran's oil infrastructure, that would in all likelihood lead to Iran shutting the Persian Gulf and getting the Houthis to shut the the Red Sea and that would have I think disastrous consequences on the international economy. So the Israelis have not gone that far yet but you know the question you want to ask yourself here is, if I'm correct that the Israelis are in trouble and I do believe I'm correct, what are they going to do to get out of this problem?
- AN: Call Donald Trump.
- JM: But again Donald Trump is not going to solve the problem for them, right.
- AN: What is the level and depth of the trouble that they're in? What is Israeli society, politics, economy, culture like today?
- JM: Well the thing you want to remember is that the Israelis depend very heavily on the idea or the notion that they have military superiority over everybody in the region, that they are invincible. And if they start a war and they lose that war they don't win that war and indeed it looks like Iran wins the war, this is a significant defeat for Israeli deterrence. It's just something that's almost unthinkable. they started this war thinking that they were going to win a relatively easy victory. And they were going to do to Iran what has been done to Syria but that's not going to happen. The Iranians are going to stay in this fight. You want to remember that Iran fought against Iraq for eight years from 1980 to 1988.
- AN: In those days we were on Iraq's side, right?
- JM: That's correct so the Iranians I think will stay in the fight and I don't think Israel can maintain this fight over the long term.
- AN: Does their enormous international airport, the Ben Gurion airport, is it operative?
- JM: No I think it's shut down at this point in time. I don't think that any airline would fly in there even if the airport were open for fear that a ballistic missile would come in and destroy the aircraft. This is one of the principal problems that the Israelis face. This is taking a huge toll on their economy, people can't go to work, the airport's closed and you want to remember that the Iranians are targeting Haifa which is an important Israeli port. And ships are not going to be willing to go into that port for fear they'll be blown up by a ballistic missile coming in from Iran.
- AN: Do any serious players besides Trump and Netanyahu and these people at Palantir actually believe that Iran has nuclear weapons?
- JM: I don't think any of them believe that Iran has nuclear weapons. I think the question is whether you believe Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. In other words it's on its way to getting nuclear weapons. As you know Netanyahu has been arguing for 30 plus years that Israel, I mean excuse me, that Iran is on its way to getting nuclear weapons. And it's only a matter of a month or a year, depending on when he's making the argument, before Iran will have a nuclear arsenal. That's never proven to be the case and there's no evidence now that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons but there's no question as I've said before on the show that Iran has significant nuclear enrichment capability and that takes them close to the point where they will have enough fissile material for a bomb. But even then it would take them a good year to build a bomb, and then create a delivery system for that bomb. So they're a good distance away from a bomb and there's no evidence that they are getting a bomb, but you can't tell President Trump that or the Israelis.
- AN: Don't Israeli military planners understand the basic rubric or even truism that you talked about earlier that you can't win a war from the air alone.
- JM: I would have thought so you know I was actually quite surprised that the Israelis attacked on the 13th. I didn't think they would do it i think they're basically jumping off a cliff here. And I would imagine that at the lower levels in the planning process inside Israel, a good number of people understand that the counter to that is they did understand it. And what they were counting on was that the Americans would come in and pull their chestnuts out of the fire but I would imagine that even a good number of Israeli planners understood that there were limits to what the Americans could do and furthermore you can't be sure that the Americans will come in. I mean if you look at what President Trump is doing now, it does look like he's beginning to back off.
- AN: You don't know with him and I think he loves to create that impression his deceptions in Saudi Arabia his pretence of negotiations prior to the attack on June 13th, as reprehensible as they were, may be part of this plan. Who knows if this two-week thing is for real or if, like our friend Seymour Hersh maintains, he's already decided to send the 30,000 pound bombs, and they're on their way.
- JM: Well they're not on their way and he's never said that he has decided to send the bombs which I think changed over the past two days as he's toned down his rhetoric quite significantly. And at the same time if you look at the newspapers, the mainstream media newspapers, over the past two days more and more newspapers are talking about the problems that we would face if we go after Fordow, more generally if we get into the war, and furthermore more and more newspapers are talking about the fact that Israel is in deep trouble. My comments about Israel's losing the war at this point would not have resonated with many people last week, but today is a different story. I think if you look at the mainstream media people are beginning to sense that the Israelis are in trouble.
- AN: Just about an hour ago the Wall Street Journal posted a piece that the Israelis are running out of whatever supplies their Golden Dome, whatever missiles their so-called uh Golden Dome uses, and they're scrambling to get that stuff replaced by the United States. The Wall Street Journal – a lot of these people are my friends – but the Wall Street Journal has been a mouthpiece for the Israelis and the Zionists. For them to acknowledge it, they must have evidence of it.
- JM: Well some people say that the Wall Street Journal is two newspapers in one. One is the stories that are news stories in the first part of the newspaper and then there's the editorial page and the op-ed page and there's no question that the editorial page and the op-ed page is basically the propaganda arm. The most important propaganda arm of the Israeli government in the United States but many of the news stories that they run about the war are actually quite good and you're now beginning to see articles appearing in the news section of the Wall Street Journal that say in so many words that the Israelis are in deep trouble.
- AN: Perhaps Bibi Netanyahu wants regime change in Tehran in order to stave off regime change in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem wherever the capital of Israel is today.
- JM: Well there's no question that if he does not succeed, if I'm basically right, that he is going to be in deep political trouble. He has started a war that involves huge costs for Israel. I mean if you look at the damage that's being done to Tel Aviv that's being done to Haifa that's being done to the Israeli economy, the costs here are huge and if he can't produce a victory if he has to quit without victory this is going to have devastating consequences for him personally and as I said before it's going to be a disaster for Israeli deterrence.
- AN: Is this government about to run out of cash?
- JM: No, no I don't think the situation is that dire and furthermore, as you well know, if it was that dire we'd bail them out.
- AN: What are the likely consequences of an American attack from the perspective of the Kremlin?
- JM: Well I think the Kremlin has a vested interest in seeing this war shut down. I think Putin has made it clear that he would like to shut the war down. I think the Kremlin is worried about Iran. I think that the Kremlin is closely allied with Iran and China and they do not want to see Iran defeated and I would imagine that people in the Kremlin, people like Putin worry about that. But they don't have to worry that's my argument. I think the Chinese have a vested interest in seeing this war go on. This is not to say that they are extremely happy about that situation but I I think the Chinese understand that the Americans are using up, they're burning up, valuable assets in this war that are otherwise needed to contain China in East Asia. You do not want to underestimate the negative consequences of what we're doing on Israel's behalf for our situation in the Pacific. The United States has been pinned down for a long time in both Ukraine and the Middle East which makes it very difficult for us to pivot to East Asia and this conflict now as it heats up and puts greater and greater demands on American military assets is a nightmare for the purposes of containing China. By the way you want to remember here this is a very important point we fought a 30-day war against the Houthis. You remember when President Trump declared war against the Houthis and there was no unconditional surrender then. After 30 days we quit and by the way the main reason we quit is that we were burning up valuable ammunition that we didn't want to burn up. And it was all to no effect because we were not defeating the Houthis. But I would ask you this question: if we couldn't beat the Houthis why do you think that either we or the Israelis can bring Iran to its knees?
- AN: Do you foresee a circumstance under which the Russians or the Chinese would get involved militarily?
- JM: No if you're talking about them getting directly involved in the fight absolutely not. If you're talking about them providing support for Iran, economic support, military support and diplomatic support, I'd say the answer is certainly yes. These four countries China, Russia, Iran and North Korea all have a vested interest in hanging together because they understand they're basically up against the United States, Israel and Ukraine. And there's no way they can let their guard down. They have to support each other but at the same time I don't see the Russians or the Chinese getting into the fight. And by the way as I'm saying here there's no need for them to get into the fight, because I think the Iranians can take care of themselves especially if China and Russia are to provide aid military aid and economic aid.
- AN: What role might the Pakistanis play if the Ayatollah is assassinated or if Trump drops the 30,000 pound bombs.
- JM: Something dramatic like either of those events happens I think the only plausible scenario and it's barely plausible is one where Iran, excuse me, where Israel uses nuclear weapons against Iran. The question you want to ask yourself moving forward is that if I'm correct that Israel is in real trouble and the Israelis are in desperate straits will they turn to nuclear weapons to deal with Iran's nuclear infrastructure and think that's possible I do not think it's likely but it's possible and you're seeing more and more talk of it in the media. And by the way as the situation continues to deteriorate in this fight for Israel there'll be more and more talk about using nuclear weapons and then the question becomes what will
Pakistan do I don't think it would launch a nuclear war on behalf of Iran or any other country because that would be suicidal. But there is talk that the Pakistanis might give a bomb to the Iranians or give a bomb to the Turks if they needed it. So all bets could be off then and you do want to remember this is a sort of a separate but not really separate point that all of what 21:12 is taking place is having hugely negative consequences for the non-prololiferation regime uh first of 21:19 all you're giving the Iranians powerful incentives to go out and get nuclear weapons right moreover you're sending a 21:26 powerful signal to virtually every other country on the planet that might view itself as an adversary of the United 21:32 States or Israel to make sure it has nuclear weapons uh and this is just 21:37 disastrous and furthermore what does Israeli behavior and American behavior these days say about our respect for 21:44 international law it says that we don't pay any attention to international law unless we think it's in our interest so 21:50 I think in terms of the proliferation regime which has been very successful at curbing proliferation since it was set 21:58 up in the late60s and early 70s this is bad news to put it mildly professor 22:04 Mirshimer shouldn't there be a great debate in America about the nature and extent of 22:11 our involvement in in a war that could be as uh disastrous 22:17 as uh as is happening why should a person who changes his mind every 10 22:22 minutes meet in a windowless room with five people tell him what he wants to hear make this decision rather than 22:29 great debates on the floor of the House and the floor of the Senate about the role of America in the world and we 22:35 really want to kill Iranians oh it's very simple you can't have a great debate on any issue involving Israel 22:43 it's just impermissible the lobby won't allow it and all the lobby's cutouts uh 22:48 you see them in the Senate uh you see them in the House uh you see them in the media these cutouts working with the 22:54 lobby will not allow us to have a debate and the reason that they won't allow us to have a debate is it won't come out in 23:01 Israel's favor you want to understand that the main reason that we have an Israel lobby that goes to enormous 23:09 lengths to shut down discourse about Israel and to smear anyone who was 23:14 critical of Israel to ruin their career is because if you had an open discourse 23:20 Israel would come out on the losing side i want to play you you alluded to this 23:26 earlier and and a lot of these will you you're familiar with these are instances 23:33 of Prime Minister Netanyahu in various venues testifying before Congress 23:39 speaking before the United Nations addressing a joint session of Congress claiming that Iran is within months or 23:48 perhaps his word possibly his word weeks of having a nuclear weapon this is a a 23:55 CNN montage it's very effective watch this the deadline for attaining this goal is getting extremely is extremely 24:03 close and Iran by the way is also outpacing Iraq in the development of 24:08 ballistic missile systems that they hope will reach the eastern seabboard of the United States within 15 years by next 24:15 spring at most by next summer at current enrichment rates they will have finished 24:22 the medium enrichment and move on to the final stage 24:27 from there it's only a few months possibly a few weeks before they get enough enriched uranium 24:35 for the first bomb the foremost sponsor of global terrorism could be weeks away 24:41 from having enough enriched uranium for an entire arsenal of nuclear weapons 24:47 that would place a militant Islamic terror regime weeks away from having the 24:52 file material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs if not stopped Iran could 24:59 produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time it could be a year it could be within a few months less than a year 25:09 this needs to be uh refuted certainly the last statement that he made needs to be refuted in a in a public forum but 25:17 he's not the only one here i'm going to play another one for you this is the George W bush Powell leadup to the 25:26 invasion of Iraq history is repeating itself neither the United States of America nor the world community of 25:32 nations can tolerate deliberate deception and offensive threats on the part of any 25:39 nation large or small every statement I make today is backed up by sources solid 25:46 sources these are not assertions what we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence 25:53 saddam Hussein and his regime have made no effort no effort to disarm as 25:58 required by the international community saddam Hussein and his regime are 26:03 concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction at this hour 26:09 American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq to free its people and to 26:16 defend the world from grave danger they have ballistic missiles that can now reach deep into Europe and soon could 26:22 reach the United States you want these people to have nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to your cities 26:29 today it's Tel Aviv tomorrow it's New York same thing over and over and over again 26:38 listen I was one of the principal public opponents of the Iraq war before it 26:44 happened on March 19th 2003 uh I wrote uh op-eds in the New York Times uh and 26:51 the Chicago Tribune i helped pay for uh an ad uh on the op-ed page of the This 26:58 is when this is when your your humble host here first learned of and began 27:04 admiring you thank you and I can tell you it is the same story all over again 27:10 you're up against the lobby right they the lobby works behind the scenes to put 27:16 enormous pressure on media figures and on uh uh a and on politicians and on 27:24 policy makers uh to support these crazy wars and people who have facts and logic 27:29 on their side can barely get a hearing it's really quite remarkable it was easier to get something of a hearing 27:36 back then than it is now the situation has only deteriorated with time in large part because the lobby has gotten more 27:42 powerful but here we are again and uh you know for people like me you know the 27:48 mainstream media has no use for us uh and uh thank goodness we have uh shows 27:54 like yours because it's you know the only way the word gets out chris do we 27:59 still have Anthony Wedgewood Ben the twominute version not not the intro or 28:06 the followup just uh Anthony Wedgewood been on the floor of the House of 28:11 Commons you probably remember him unfortunately he's no longer with us a great great two-minute 28:19 closing argument against the Tony Blair government joining George Bush's 28:25 invasion of course he lost that debate but here's what he said i finish just by saying this war is an easy thing to talk 28:32 about there not many people of the generation that remember it the right honorable gentleman served with the six 28:38 in the last war i never killed anyone but I wore uniform but I was in London in the blitz in 1940 living in the 28:44 Milbank Tower where I was born some different ideas have come in since and 28:50 every night I went down to the shelter in TM's house every morning I saw 28:56 Dockland burning 500 people were killed in Westminster one night by a landmine it was terrifying aren't Arabs terrified 29:03 aren't Iraqis terrified don't Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die 29:09 doesn't bombing strengthen their determination what fools we are to live in of a generation for which war is a 29:15 computer game for our children and just an interesting little channel for news item every member of parliament tonight 29:23 who votes for the government motion will be consciously and deliberately accepting the responsibility for the 29:30 deaths of innocent people if the war begins as I fear it will now that's for their decision to take but this is a 29:37 quite unique debate in my parliamentary experience where we asked to share responsibility for a decision we won't 29:44 really be taking with consequences for people who have no part to play in the 29:50 brutality of the regime which we are dealing with and I finish with this on October the 24th 1945 and the former 29:58 prime minister from Beexton old will remember it the uh United Nations charter was passed and the words of that 30:05 charter etched into my mind and move me even as I think of them we the people of 30:12 the United Nations determined to save future uh generations succeeding 30:19 generations from the scourge of war which twice in our lifetime has caused 30:25 untold suffering to mankind that was the pledge of that generation to this 30:32 generation and it would be the greatest betrayal of all if we voted to abandon the charter and take unilateral action 30:38 and pretend we were doing it in the name of the international community and I shall vote against the motion for the 30:44 reason that I've given up hard to imagine that 30:50 Thomas Massie or Rand Paul or even Bernie Sanders would be permitted to 30:56 make arguments like that on the floor of the House or the Senate well they 31:02 probably would be permitted but they would be assaulted verbally assaulted 31:07 afterwards and everybody would go after them hammer and tongue as is so often 31:12 the case i would also note just to add to what Mr ben said uh that after World 31:18 War II it was not only the scourge of war uh that we were trying to eliminate 31:23 it was the scourge of genocide and we don't want to lose sight of the fact that while this war between Iran and 31:30 Israel is being waged a genocide is taking place in Gaza on a daily basis 31:36 and we're continuing to fund Ukraine on a daily basis let's not lose sight of 31:44 that so the president of peace is funding genocide in Gaza and a losing 31:51 effort in uh in Ukraine and is acting like Hamlet with respect to or wants us 31:57 to think he's acting like Hamlet with respect to Iran who knows how this will end what are 32:04 your last thoughts on this Professor Mir Shimemer well my last thoughts are I 32:10 hope there's some way that this can be brought to an end uh I hope Trump has the good sense not to take the United 32:16 States into this war uh and I hope that uh the fact that he's not been talking 32:22 so hawkishly the past two days means that he's beginning to see the light and then I hope he goes to great lengths to 32:28 get the Israelis and the Iranians to do something to bring this to an end am I hopeful that will happen no but that's 32:36 sort of the best case I can make at this point in time professor Mary Shammer thank you very much we went beyond our 32:42 usual time uh limit but uh appreciate deeply and profoundly your uh insight 32:48 and your analysis we'll look forward to seeing you at your usual day and time next week i'm looking forward to it be 32:54
well thank you have a great weekend coming up on uh Monday uh our usual[6]
Quotations
“Although WINEP plays down its links to Israel and claims that it provides a ‘balanced and realistic’ perspective on Middle East issues, this is not the case. In fact, WINEP is funded and run by individuals who are deeply committed to advancing Israel’s agenda … Many of its personnel are genuine scholars or experienced former officials, but they are hardly neutral observers on most Middle East issues and there is little diversity of views within WINEP’s ranks”
