February 5. 2024; News Radio 1080, KRLD

The US announced it began strikes on militias in Iraq and Syria over the weekend as retaliation for fatal drone attack.

That attack killed three US service members in Jordan including two Navy Seals, one of which was from right here in North Texas.

Fallen Navy SEAL Gage Ingram from Roanoke will be remembered at a memorial in North Texas next week.

 This week, in the Dallas Morning News, an op-ed piece written by the Iranian American Community Of North Texas (IACNT) shares why it is important for the West to recognize the need for a free and democratic Iran.

Homeira Hesami with IACNT joined the KRLD Afternoon News. She's spoken with them often about the protests happening in Iran over the past year against the Iranian regime and the fight for a democratic Iran.

She explains why she feels it is important for others to understand this perspective.
