US Airstrikes Kill 4 Iranian-Backed Militia Members as Retaliation | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Pentagon says US military airstrikes earlier this week killed 4 Iranian-backed militia members. The strikes targeted the insurgents while they were in Syria. The Pentagon says the attack was in response to recent strikes including one earlier this week against US service members. Those attacks are blamed on groups backed by Tehran. Senior Research Fellow for Middle Eastern Affairs at the Heritage Foundation, James Phillips, joins to share whether this was the right response and whether the situation will escalate. Phillips discusses the time and why the Iran-backed militias were targeting US personnel in the first place. Earlier this week, the European Union proposed a draft agreement to revive an Obama-era nuclear deal with Tehran. Phillips tells us what is known about the EU draft. The Biden Administration has signaled it may support the draft proposal. Phillips fills us in on what he thinks is the right move.
