Summary

The Sunni terrorist group ISIS has claimed responsibility for Wednesday's bombing in Iran that killed more than eighty people during a anniversary ceremony honoring General Qasem Soleimani, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2019. It was the deadliest attack on Iranian soil since their 1979 revolution. This happening during a time in which Iran's proxy groups are actively involved in conflict with Israel. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies focusing on Iranian politics and security issues, who breaks down the differences in loyalty between Iran, their proxy groups and the Afghan branch of the Islamic State.
