In the aftermath of Sunday's deadly drone attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan, new details have emerged, shedding light on the incident. The White House has officially placed blame on an Iran-backed group, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, for carrying out the strike that claimed the lives of three American service members. This revelation comes as reports emerge of multiple attempted attacks against U.S. warships in the Middle East.
One such incident took place in the Gulf of Aden, just south of Yemen. The U.S. warship Karni intercepted an anti-ship ballistic missile launched by the Houthis, a rebel group backed by Iran. In addition to the missile, the Karni also managed to fend off a few drones. The precise details of the encounter remain undisclosed.
