What is Washington to do about Mideast mission creep? What response from the United States after the weekend attack in Jordan that’s killed three of its troops? It has already hit back at Iran-backed militias in Iraq and Syria but to what effect?

We will ask how much Tehran’s had a hand in Hamas’ October 7th attack and its aftermath, and what went down in Paris this past weekend as Israel and its mediators on the quiet contemplated conditions for fighting to stop.
