Iran-Aligned Militia Resumes Attacks on US Forces in Iraq & Syria | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

After a near 3 month lull, Iran-aligned militia have resumed attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria. Now the Pentagon wants the Iraqi government to do something about it. Air Force Major General Pat Ryder, Pentagon Press Secretary says, "Finally, on April 22, Iran-aligned militia groups conducted two unsuccessful attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria. These are the first attacks on coalition facilities since February 4th. These attacks put coalition and Iraqi personnel at risk. We call on the government of Iraq to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria against attacks from these groups. If these attacks continue, we will not hesitate to defend our forces, as we have done in the past." Chaldean Catholic Archbishop Bashar Warda joins to share his reaction to what the Pentagon Press Secretary said. The war between Israel and Hamas has just passed the 200 day mark and there is no sign of a peace deal in sight. Archbishop Warda tells us what the mood is like where he is. He explains how the Church is doing there and how Christians are being affected by this conflict. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
