In a recent interview with Congressman Adam Smith, a ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee, it was revealed that the attack on the US military base in Iraq was carried out by an Iranian-backed militia. This attack resulted in the death of three service members and injured 40 more. The big question now is what the appropriate and proportionate response should be.
According to Congressman Smith, it is crucial to go directly after the source of these attacks, which is Iran. While he did not specify the exact targets, he mentioned that there are various options to consider, including targets within Iran itself. He emphasized the need to change Iran's calculus and make them bear the consequences of their actions, as they have been allowing these attacks to occur without facing any repercussions.
