This week on Inside the Capitol, TV Abraham’s Washington Correspondent Alicia Powe reports from Capitol Hill as the U.S.–Israel war with Iran enters its third week—and the Abraham Accords face their most serious test yet.
Iran has launched relentless missiles and drones against the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, the Gulf nations that chose peace with Israel under explicit U.S. security guarantees.

The message from Tehran is clear: those who chose peace with Israel will pay the price.
Now a critical question is rising in Washington:

On Capitol Hill, lawmakers are demanding answers. Senator Chris Coons is calling on President Trump to brief Congress on the administration’s plans—and the growing risks to American forces and regional allies.
