In a recent drone attack on a small U.S. outpost in Jordan near the Syrian border, three American soldiers lost their lives and at least 34 more were injured. The attack has prompted intelligence agencies in Washington to determine which Iran-backed militia is responsible for the assault. The number of casualties is expected to rise as soldiers report possible symptoms of traumatic brain injury.
President Biden has expressed his commitment to holding those responsible for the attack accountable, stating that the United States 'will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner of our choosing.' Despite Iran's denial of involvement in the drone attack, an Iran-backed militia group had already claimed responsibility for attacking nearby targets.
