Escalating Standoff Between NATO And The U.S. Over Iran Conflict

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

The British Royal Navy was forced to rely on a German frigate, the FGS Sachsen, to fulfill their obligations to lead a NATO maritime taskforce in the North Atlantic. This move happened because the United Kingdom had no available destroyers or frigates, as HMS Dragon was redeployed to the Mediterranean after an Iranian drone hit the British Royal Air Force (RAF) base of Akrotiri, Cyprus. What does this say about the state of European military preparedness? FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Benjamin Hall, senior correspondent for Fox News Channel (FNC) and also hosts the podcast 'Searching for Heroes with Benjamin Hall' on FOX News Audio, and is the author of bestseller 'Resolute' and his latest book 'Read All About It', who says European military readiness has to improve for the sake of all, and shares details on his latest FOX Nation special, 'America's Greatest Churches with Ben Hall.'
