“Dangerous moment in the Middle East’: Austin announces retaliatory strikes – Iran threatens consequences. Two American soldiers and a soldier were killed and dozens more injured by pro-Iranian militias in a drone attack on a US military base in Jordan.
The group “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” had previously claimed responsibility for the drone attack. The USA responded with air strikes in both countries, but these have not yet had the desired effect on both countries. There have been over 170 such attacks on US forces over the past few years.
