President Biden is set to return to the White House this afternoon following his trip to Delaware. The administration recently confirmed the successful joint raid that resulted in the elimination of 14 ISIS operatives. The operation was carried out by American soldiers from the elite 75th Ranger Regiment, with approval from the White House.
During a recent debate, Vice President Kamala Harris highlighted a significant milestone - for the first time this century, there are no active-duty members of the United States military in combat zones worldwide.
Aside from the Rangers' mission, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower has been actively engaged in airstrikes against Iran's rebel army in Yemen. The Navy reported encountering a level of combat not seen since World War II, with warships in the strike group successfully intercepting ballistic missiles and drones.
Upon the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower's return to Norfolk in July, the impressive tally included 155 surface-to-air missiles, 135 Tomahawk cruise missiles, 60 air-to-air missiles, and 420 bombs deployed during the mission.
Recent reports from the U.S. Military Central Command revealed that four ISIS leaders were neutralized in a raid in Iraq last month, one of whom had a $5 million bounty on his head.
During a meeting with his British counterpart at the White House, President Biden refrained from commenting on potential long-range strikes by Ukraine into Russian territory using American or British missiles. White House National Security Spokesman John Kirby later confirmed that no final decision had been reached on this matter.
