When Deterrence Fails: The Iranian Proxy Threat in the Middle East
Release Date:
A month after an Iranian suicide drone killed three brave American soldiers at their post in Jordan, Iran-backed militants continue to spread chaos in the Middle East. Houthi rebels use Iranian-made weapons to attack shipping vessels in the Red Sea, disrupting up to one-fifth of the world’s cargo trade. American troops in the region have faced nearly 170 attacks from the Houthis and other Iran-backed groups since October 2023. Please join Representative Rich McCormick (GA-6), a retired Marine Corps commander, and Media Fellow Jeremy Hunt for a conversation on how to reestablish deterrence in the Middle East and protect American troops abroad.
