The US Reacts to Attacks in the Middle East by Iran-Backed Proxy Groups | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

After the fallout from the drone attack that killed three American service members in Jordan, the Secretary of Defense said it's time to "take away even more capability" from Iran-backed proxies. Former CIA officer and president of Lopez Liberty LLC, Clare Lopez, joins to share how the US can accomplish that without widening the war in the Middle East. Lopez tells us whether she thinks Iran is in anyway nervous about the attacks its proxy groups are carrying out. Regarding the Houthi rebels, the US and UK have staged attacks on Yemen, bombing military storage sites, radar installations and most recently late last night, the US military carried out new strikes against 10 drones. Lopez discusses whether these incremental attacks act as a deterrent. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
