‘Disaster for the Empire’: Threat of Regional War in Middle East w/ Brian Becker

President Biden vowed retaliation for the attack that killed three US soldiers at a US military outpost near the Syria-Jordan border on January 28. While Biden blamed “Iran-backed militias,” the responsibility for the attacks was claimed by militias in Iraq who have been targeting US bases across the region since October 7 for supporting Israel’s genocide. Brian Becker, the host of The Socialist Program, discusses the growing “Axis of Resistance’’ and the expanding war in the Middle East. [This interview was filmed on Feb 1, the day before the US carried out strikes on an estimated 85 sites in Syria and Iraq.] #BreakThroughNews
