Is the US Already in a Regional Conflict in the Middle East?


Listen Later

Since Israel's war against Hamas began, the US has tried to prevent a wider regional war from breaking out.

Now, with US attacks against Iran-backed rebels in Yemen, drone strikes in Iraq and fighting across Israel's northern border with Lebanon is that regional conflict the US wanted to avoid, already here?

The last three presidents have tried to shrink the US footprint in the Middle East. NPR's Ari Shapiro speaks with Ben Rhodes. Rhodes was Deputy National Security Advisor to President Barack Obama.
