Three American service members were killed in a drone strike at a remote base in Jordan overnight, with at least two dozen more troops wounded in the attack. President Biden has vowed to respond, blaming Iranian proxies for the incident. The question now is who has the authority to ensure those responsible are held accountable.
The United States has taken retaliatory actions against Iran-backed proxies in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen in recent months. However, some members of Congress, particularly Republicans, argue that these actions are not sufficient. They criticize Biden for what they perceive as weakness, stating that his approach allows enemies to attack American troops with impunity.
