Iran to U.S.: Thanks for the Embargo




AIKEN,SC - Escalating tensions between the US and Iran over Iran’s nuclear program have led to talk of a “military option” and even regime change. On Tuesday, February 21, 7 pm, two panelists shed light on the Iran-US crisis: Diplomacy or War?

A nun of the Order of Saint Helena, she serves as priest-in-charge at All Saints Episcopal Church in Beech Island, SC.
