After three American troops are killed on the Jordan-Syria border, Biden launches strikes in Iraq and Syria to defend US military occupation and Israeli genocide.
[
Update: in light of Friday's US strikes in Iraq and Syria, which the White House calls a retaliation for the recent attack on a US military base on the Jordan-Syria border that killed three American soldiers, I am unlocking this article, which provides some relevant background].
The Biden administration has vowed to retaliate after a drone strike on a US military base near the Jordan-Syria border killed three US soldiers and wounded more than 34 others, some critically.
In a statement,
President Biden blamed what he called "radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq," and pledged to "hold all those responsible to account." The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which took credit for the operation, called it a direct response to Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza and the presence of "American occupation forces in Iraq and the region."
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has denied any involvement.The US claims that its troops were hit on Jordan's side of the border. Jordanian officials dispute that and say that
the incident occurred in Syria, where the US maintains an unauthorized and unwelcome military force. Wherever it took place, the Beltway consensus is that Biden must now respond with more aggression in the Middle East,
including potential strikes on Iran.
