Rich Zeoli

Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the U.S. launching retaliatory strikes against Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria. Last week, three Army reservists were killed—and 34 service members were injured—in a drone strike at Tower 22, a U.S. military base in northeast Jordan. According to reports, Iranian-backed terrorists responsible for the attack evacuated their bases after the Biden Administration signaled that retaliatory strikes were imminent. Will Biden’s military response amount to anything more than posturing? Could this lead to a larger conflict in the Middle East? Dr. Coates is the author of “David’s Sling: A History of Democracy in Ten Works of Art.” You can find her book here: https://www.amazon.com/Davids-Sling-History-Democracy-Works/dp/1594037213
