US Bolsters Military Presence in the Middle East | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The US has bolstered its military presence in the Middle East, including with Naval assets in the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. Professor of International Affairs at Syracuse University and a retired Navy Intelligence Officer, Robert Murrett, joins to share whether he thinks this show of force will act as a deterrent for Tehran. Many had expected Iran to attack Israel last week and now we are hearing it could be any day now. Professor Murrett shares what type of response he thinks we could anticipate from Iran and why it has not happened sooner. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant recently said that Iran and Hezbollah are threatening to harm Israel in ways they have not done in the past. Murrett discusses what he means by that. If Iran does attack Israel, Murrett explains how he thinks the US will and should respond. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
