In a devastating drone attack on a base in Jordan, three U.S. service members were killed and more than two dozen others were injured. The targeted base, situated near the border with Syria, was attacked by an Iranian militant group, according to President Biden. This incident follows a series of attacks on U.S. forces since October, with President Biden vowing a strong response to any party thinking of taking advantage of the situation.
The drone attack took place last night and is believed to have been carried out by an Iran-backed militia group operating in either Iraq or Syria. In response, the Biden administration has stated that there will be consequences, with President Biden issuing a statement saying, 'We know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq. We will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner of our choosing.' This development has raised concerns of a potential escalation in the region.
