I believe this could make a good political or conspiracy thriller. As there is already much tension between these countries, the movie could show what is going on behind the scenes, with parts of the movie unfolding in places such as the White House and showing what government officials are doing about the problem.
It could also be a conspiracy thriller, as there are already many conspiracy theories as to why the US begun the war in the Middle East.
